Q: I can't tell you how excited I am that the fall shows are about to
start up. Can you give me a little scoop as to what I can expect on my
favorite show, "Castle"? -- Drew D., via e-mail
A: The ABC Monday night comedy/suspense/detective drama returns with a
bang on Sept. 20. I spoke recently with Jon Huertas, who plays Detective
Javier Esposito, and he gave me a sneak peek at Season Three.
"For my character in particular, I'm going to have a little bit of an
onscreen romance with another member of the cast," he said. "Also, for
the first episode, there's a big surprise. In the murder we are
investigating, our first suspect surprises everybody. You also are going
to see a lot more fleshing out of the satellite characters -- my
character and Dr. Lanie Parish -- there's going to be a lot more of
that."
(If you're curious as to whom Jon was referring when he mentioned the
suspect on the season opener who will surprise everyone, read our full

Q: I know there is talk that Danny McBride could be coming to "The
Office" to fill the void when Steve Carell leaves, and I think that's a
great idea, but I hope it won't interfere with his hilarious HBO series,
"Eastbound and Down." When does Season Two start, and can you tell me
anything about it? -- Sam M., Miami
A: Ana de la Reguera, who co-starred with Jack Black in "Nacho Libre,"
comes to the show as a series regular (when it returns on Sept. 26) as a
lounge singer whom Kenny Powers meets in Mexico. Ana gave me the scoop:
"After Kenny leaves April at the gas station, he basically disappears
and wants to start over. He wants to go to a new world, so he goes to
Mexico. He's in a completely new culture. His weaknesses are much
bigger. I'm a singer, and he thinks we have a connection because I sing
Bob Seger songs, covers, but in Spanish the whole time."

Q: How is Michael Douglas doing? I read he has cancer! -- Trudy G.,
Altoona, Pa.
A: Doctors discovered a tumor in the throat of the 65-year-old actor,
for which he'll have to undergo eight weeks of radiation and
chemotherapy. His doctors expect him to make a full recovery.
