Question: What can you tell us about Sara Ramirez returning to Grey's Anatomy? —Gloria

Ausiello: I thought I might have an exciting update for you today, but, alas, there's still no news on that front. My Callie scoop antennae experienced a bit of a jolt earlier this week when I heard through the grapevine that Grey's is about to go into production on an episode set entirely onboard a commercial airliner as a crisis unfolds mid-flight. (An ABC rep declined to comment.) It's not clear which of the docs will be on the manifest when said emergency erupts, but given Callie and Arizona's shared, bi-coastal custody arrangement with Sofia, it seemed like a perfect opportunity to bring Ramirez back for a kickass standalone episode. Sadly, a source close to the actress tells me there are no current plans for her to return. Still, sounds like it'll be a cool, emotionally fraught episode, especially considering what went down four years ago.

Question: Can you tell us if Leah is going to be Arizona's love interest on Grey's Anatomy? —Ashley

Ausiello: I could, but I'd be lying. This is Arizona's new love interest.

Question: Where you been? I'm missing my Ask Ausiello! —Beth

Ausiello: I apologize for taking a vacation. It will never happen again.

Question: I need to know more about Jack's death on This Is Us! How did it happen? —Mala

Ausiello: The answer to your question may be on its way very soon: The NBC drama is casting 15-year-old versions of Kevin, Randall and Kate. And since we know that the trio likely was around that age when Daddy Pearson died, it looks like we're getting a flashback to the big moment (or sometime near it). I'd advise you to stock up on extra Kleenex, but let's be honest: If you're a diehard fan, you've done that already.

Question: Any hints about who's in the hood on Once Upon a Time, killing Emma? —Courtney

Ausiello: Well, if you re-watch that fleeting vision very, very carefully, and take note of the hooded character's height and build... you will glean nothing, actually. "It was a stand-in used for that scene," and not the actual actor that will eventually be revealed as wearing the hood, Colin O'Donoghue confirms. As for whether he or any other cast members know the identity of Emma's killer, if only becayse the Once bosses have made it pretty clear they had someone locked in from go, "We might have an idea...," O'Donoghue teased, "but we're not gonna tell you!"

Question: Got any scoop on The Walking Dead? — Jeff

Ausiello: Sunday's episode (AMC, 9/8c) not only gives us our first real impression of what life is like at the Saviors' Sanctuary — and a worrisome indication of how Daryl is going to fare there — it also forces us, however reluctantly, to reconsider our opinion of Negan's henchman Dwight.

Question: What is the latest on Blue Bloods' Jamie/Eddie storyline? Will they get together this season? —Deborah

Ausiello: Be sure to RSVP for the Nov. 18 episode, because that relationship starts to heat up when the partners attend a wedding together.

Question: Isn't How to Get Away With Murder long overdue to have one of its series regulars actually get convicted for a crime? —Mindy

Ausiello: A recent casting notice for a pair of recurring, behind-bars characters makes me think you might be onto something, Mindy. The ABC drama is seeking a fortysomething female to play Claudia, a "tough, scrappy, lower working-class" inmate searching for connection in her lonely prison life. We'll also meet Jasmine, a tough cookie in her 60s who's got no shortage of gravitas; just because she's a silent loner, though, doesn't mean she can't forge bonds with people. Factor in those new characters to the ongoing flash-fowards of Annalise's "fire night" arrest, and one has to hope Viola Davis looks good in prison orange.

Question: Is there any scoop you can spill about Scorpion? I would love something on Walter and Paige, but would honestly take anything I can get. —Stephanie

Ausiello: As Paige's grifter mom Veronica (Switched at Birth's Lea Thompson) enters the picture, she will take a liking to Walter... and a dislike to Tim. Veronica even offers Walter advice on how to woo her daughter. Will he take it? And if so, will it work?

Question: What's the latest on Chloe appearing in 24: Legacy? —Jeremy

Ausiello: The latest is you maybe probably shouldn't hold your breath. Unless it's in protest, in which you should absolutely hold your breath because it's a most righteous cause and one that I can get behind.

Question: Why are you no longer doing the Ask Ausiello spoilers? —Aimee

Ausiello: Hooray, another guilt trip. Did you coordinate this ambush with Beth?

Question: Even though I love Nathan Fillion, and I know Adam Devine is a pretty busy guy, do you happen to know when Andy will be back on Modern Family? (P.S. I love you and all of your Gilmore Girls scoop!) —Robin

Ausiello: I hear there are no plans for Haley's soul mate to resurface, although this late-breaking development could possibly change that.

Question: Hey, can you give me some scoop on Better Call Saul? —Matt

Ausiello: I asked co-star Patrick Fabian for a Season 3 spoiler at the Emmys back in September and, whaddaya know, he came through. And then immediately regretted doing so. Press PLAY below to find out what he told me. (Hint: it involves the R-word.)

Question: Do you have any word on Dylan O'Brien's Teen Wolf status? A lot of us are worried that Stiles won't be around for the latter part of the season because of what happens in the first half, not to mention Dylan's busy schedule. —Alinea

Ausiello: We can neither confirm nor deny Stiles' presence throughout Teen Wolf's final season, but what we can promise is a handful of long-overdue "Stydia" moments in the Nov. 15 premiere, including a biggie that was already teased in the trailer. (For what it's worth, the actual "I love you" scene between Stiles and Lydia is far more dramatic when seen in full.)

Question: Do you have any scoop about the Downton Abbey movie that might be happening? Is there actually anything concrete? —Kristen

Ausiello: Someone has misled you, Kristen. A Downton Abbey movie is not happening.

Question: So, seriously, when is Rip Hunter coming back to Legends of Tomorrow? — Dawn

Ausiello: The search for Rip is "something that's always going on in the background, and sometimes the foreground, of various episodes," says showrunner Marc Guggenheim. "We don't want to change the mission statement [from] 'fixing aberrations' to 'saving Rip.'" Besides, the EP notes, "The bat's sort of been taken out of their hands, in the sense that there's no way to find Rip. But you will find out [what happened to him] before the Legends do."

Question: Any Frequency scoop? It's turning out to be one of my new favourite shows. —Allison

Ausiello: As the date of Julie's disappearance nears, Frank "does get more and more desperate," star Riley Smith reveals. "And the things that he's doing become more illegal and tricky." The dad/detective is also "constantly having to put one timeline version of Raimy on the line to help out the other one, and then within two or three scenes, the reverse [happens]. The next episode reverses it again."

Question: Got any scoop on Blindspot? —Lisa

Ausiello: Agent Reade might just be getting a lady in his life — but it's complicated. The NBC drama is seeking a twentysomething to play Niki, the on-again-off-again girlfriend of Reade's old pal, Freddy. Fed up with Freddy's addiction problem (and puzzled when he doesn't come home one night), Niki will turn to Reade for answers about his friend... and in doing so find temporary solace with the FBI agent. The character will debut in Episode 13 and appear in three installments.

Question: Any New Girl scoop on Schmidt and Cece?— Kristianne

Ausiello: Rumor has it Mrs. Schmidt is going to launch her very own modeling agency.

Question: Some Flash scoop, please? Anything? —Joseph

Ausiello: This week's revelation that H.R. is a novelist and not a scientist is "going to give Tom Cavanagh a lot of playtime," co-star Carlos Valdes tells TVLine, adding that viewers can "expect a lot of H.R.'s business and backstory to be rooted in some of his writing."

Question: Any intel on even whispers of a Parenthood reunion? P.S. Can I have a job? —Tyler

Ausiello: No new intel on a Parenthood revival beyond what Jason Katims told me in August. Regarding the job thing, your timing is fortuitous. I'm looking to hire someone to help me get TVLine readers Aimee and Beth off my freakin' case. Job doesn't pay that well and there are no benefits, but... actually, there's no but. That's it. The gig is yours if you want it.

Question: I thought the Greek reunion movie was supposed to air on Freeform during Christmas, but I'm not seeing it on the 25 Days of Christmas lineup. Any update on it? —John

Ausiello: It's been quietly moved to 2017, which makes sense because how the hell did anyone think a revival like this could be written, cast, shot and edited in four months' time?

Question: Can you give Arrow's Olicity fans some hope that Oliver and Felicity will get back together this season? —SCS

Ausiello: Coming out of this week's "Yeah, we should be seeing other people" heart-to-heart, there is this silver lining: The ex-couple affirmed that, regardless of their break-up, they are of a singular focus. "I wasn't a huge fan of the idea that Felicity wouldn't say something [about dating Billy], because of all the reasons that their relationship fell apart last year, which was secrets being kept," says Stephen Amell. "So when I played those scenes, it was just like, 'Hey, we work together, so if you're keeping anything from me, why?' ... It was less about Oliver and more about, 'Are we OK? Are we good? Because now it's not just you and me [in the lair] and we have these new recruits that look to us for guidance, so let's make sure that, as the theoretical leaders of the team, we are on the same page.'"

This AAnd That...
