Grey’s Anatomy (Thursdays at 9pm on CTV / ABC): James Pickens who plays “The Chief” confirmed to Us Weekly that Katherine Heigl (Izzy) and T.R. Knight (George) will be leaving the show while the network and reps have yet to comment. Spoiler-wise, the Grey’s Anatomy/Private Practice crossover aka rating stunt (which worked last week) continues this week and next. Archer (Grant Show) will recover from last week’s surgery while Derek helps Addison work on a pregnant neuron patient. Bailey and Naomi will work on Sam who suffers an asthma attack. Meredith learns something new about Derek from Sam, Naomi and Addison from back when he was a student.
Brothers & Sisters (Sundays at 10pm on Global/ABC): This week’s episode (Feb. 15th) will be the last one until March Sweeps. Nora will go meet Ryan at the coffee shop where he works. She will invite him to the Walker house for the weekend…B&S will be back on Sunday March 1st with a two-hour special where Trish (the woman whose child Kitty and Robert are adopting) goes into labor. When Tommy’s shady business dealings are revealed and he will get ousted from the company so another Walker will step in and replace him. This person is supposed to seriously tick Holly off, so it will probably be Sarah.
Desperate Housewives (Sundays at 9pm on CTV / ABC): Lynette and Tom will continue to have money problems on the Feb. 15th episode and they’ll consider selling Scavo’s Pizzeria. I’m hearing that they’ll head back in the world of advertising by this season’s end. The first sweeps episode will be on March 8th. The only interesting tidbit that they’ve let slip is that Orson will start stealing things. Kyle MacLachlan told Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello that “It isn’t a burglar thing. He starts taking things that don’t belong to him, often from his friends and neighbours. I don’t know where that is eventually going to go, but it’s going to be delicious.” Great, do you think he can steal Katherine Mayfair and then misplace her?
Ugly Betty (Thursdays at 8pm on Citytv / ABC): It’s Claire Meade’s 60th birthday this week and Betty will tape her a special message. She does what everyone does on TV and leaves the camera running. When she watches the tape, she’ll discover her father’s shocking secret…could Ignacio be hooking up with Nurse Elena? Betty’s got a new love…his name is Matt and he’ll be played by Daniel Eric Gold who has mostly starred in movies (Definitely, Maybe and Charlie Wilson’s War). Betty and Matt will be partners for her latest YETI assignment. Betty will learn about the on goings of the sports magazine which Matt works for. The rest of the MODE crew will deal with Fashion Week. Matt will stay on for awhile, they’ve cast Christine Baranski as his high society mother. Some sad news, Ashley Jensen who plays Christina has asked to leave the series. Meanwhile, Daniel’s lady love Molly may get killed off. And finally some good news…ABC is about to renew the show for a fourth season.
Smallville (Thursdays at 8pm on The CW): The next new episode will air on March 5th and Tori Spelling will guest star as the Daily Planet’s gossip columnist Linda Lake and will cause a lot of trouble for Clarke…she’ll threaten to expose his secret identity.
Gossip Girl (Mondays at 8pm on ‘A’ / The CW, Thursdays at 7pm on MuchMusic): Some scoop that was left out of yesterday’s Gossip Girl-Spoil-A-Thon. Serena will be paired Gabriel, the worldly socialite I told you about yesterday. They’re going to rip-off the whole real-life Anne Hathaway scandal. If you remember awhile back, Hathaway’s former Italian beau Raffaello Follieri was convicted of wire fraud, conspiracy and money laundering. Serena’s life will be put in danger and only Georgina Sparks (Michelle Trachtenberg) can save her.
Prison Break: The show will return on April 17th, probably before 24 on Global/FOX to finish off its final season. Michael and Sara will be on the run (surprise) and Lincoln tries to find his mother. Mahone is still working for the company. Before the series ends, Michael must choose to either save Sara or his brother…but does anybody still care?
