SMASH - A STAR IS BORN!

I do know Karen and Dev have been having issues. Did he sleep with Ivy just to stick it to Karen or something? What a jerk.

He asked Karen to marry him and she said no. Ivy found out Derek was shagging the movie star. They found themselves sitting next to each other at a bar. While they never met before they knew who each other was. I think they both were just upset and bitter.

Karen has since changed her mind and said yes. Dev left the ring where he slept with Ivy and lied to Karen that it was back in NYC.

I think Karen will find out next week in the finale though.

Oh dang. That's so not going to end well.............stupid Dev. For Ivy too. She should know by now Derek is just an a-hole.

Yeah, I couldn't believe Dev would do that. Not surprised by Ivy though. She doesn't think before she acts. Ivy wanted to get back at Derek because he betrayed her. But all Karen did was say she wasn't in the right place to get married right now because of the show. So yeah, Dev was a total jerk to do that.

Hopefully Karen gets the Marilyn role and can totally stick it to Ivy.

I'm not caught up on this show at all. I've got 5 episodes of it to watch. Even so I did watch tonight's season finale and I can't believe Ivy did that at the end. SHE DID ACTUALLY DO THAT RIGHT? I really hope she's going to be okay. On the flip side...............YAY for Karen!!!!!!!!!

I crashed at 8:00 last night. This virus is taking a lot out of me. I taped it but missed the first eight mins. because I fell asleep. Woke-up, hit record, and went back to sleep. I'll watch when I can.

It's a great episode FC. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Maybe a bit shocked though.

Ohhh! It’s a blood bath at Smash! Characters Dev, Ellis and Julia’s husband AND lover are leaving the show! Now they need to send Julia’s kid off to boarding school, and we’ll be all set!

‘Smash’ scoop: Ellis and Dev are leaving the show! — EXCLUSIVE – Philandering fiancé Dev (Raza Jaffrey) and devious assistant Ellis (Jaime Cepero) will not be regulars in the show’s second season, sources say. It’s possible one or both actors could appear in an episode or two to wrap up their storylines, but that’s it. The plan is to have neither character as a recurring presence in the show’s new-and-improved second season.

UPDATE: Brian d’Arcy James (Debra Messing’s husband on the show) and Will Chase (Debra’s lover) are leaving Smash too.

I did see that yesterday. I am sad to lose Dev. I enjoyed the actor very much. Sad about Julia's marriage. I think they are feeling desperate to make big changes because the ratings crashed and burned and so did the reviews as the season wore on. I mean their ratings drop by a full 50%! That has got to have the network in freakout mode.

I watched the episode and it was really good. Kat is really amazing in this role!

I am sure Ivy will be fine. Part of me thinks she throws the pills across the room and they want us to think she swallowed them.

I greatly enjoy the show and look forward to next season!

Hopefully you're right about Ivy. I think it would be just to predictable for them to have her try and commit suicide.

Well, this is adorable! Debra Messing’s old Will & Grace co-star, Sean Hayes, has landed a guest arc on Smash!

Sean will play, according to The Hollywood Reporter, “Terrence Falls, a comedic TV and film star who is making his Broadway debut in the musical Liaisons, based on the novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses. However, due to a series of comedic circumstances, he becomes a thorn in the side of Megan Hilty’s Ivy and other characters.”

On Will & Grace, Sean Will’s other best friend, Jack McFarland.

It will be fun to watch Debra and Sean riffing off each other like old times. Sounds like fun doesn’t it?

Smash returns to the NBC schedule mid-season.

Cool! And of course J-Hud will be on too. Should be a good season! Though I will miss Dev. I really liked the actor.

ETA; BTW, Sean grew up in the town next to where we lived for many years and he was a bus boy at the restaurant we used to eat at at least once a week!

Oh wow that's pretty cool!!

There are some others I read who have joined the new season as well. I think it's shaping up to be very interesting!

Great news! thanks, Teddy & FC!
I really enjoyed the first season... looks like this upcoming one will be a real SMASH for Smash!!
Lookin' forward to it!!!
(What's "mid-season"?? I couldn't find a season premier date!)

flipe, "mid-season" means it's starting during the second half of the regular TV year period. So that means early 2013.

So did you watch the premiere tonight FC?

It was sooooo good!!

I really like the new guy and his friend!

The almost kiss between Derek and Karen was killer.

Here's the whole song Karen started singing in the apartment before the guy suddenly stormed out.

I taped it as I watched The Lying Game and Pretty Little Liars. I will be sure and watch it this weekend!

Oh goodness!! The ratings were awful! Down 70% from it's premiere and 40% from it's season finale!! This show is going to be in big trouble

FC, have you caught up on the shows yet?? What do you think so far of the new characters and the stories?
