Celebrity Blogs - Ghost Whisperer Producers Discuss "Save Our Souls"

Kim Moses & Ian Sander — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 14:17:00 -0500

Hi!

We hope everyone had a happy, healthy, safe Thanksgiving.
Over holiday weekend, we aired one of our favorite Ghost Whisperer episodes, "Save Our Souls."

In this episode, Melinda (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Jim (David Conrad) take a romantic cruise, where Melinda stumbles on a ghost who wreaks havoc on a newlywed couple. Filmed on location aboard the historical and luxurious ocean liner HRS, Queen Mary, (which we affectionately dubbed the "Queen Scary") this episode takes Ghost Whisperer on a high sea adventure. Since the vessel that we shot on has not been out to sea in several years, our visual effects gurus (Armen and Art and their amazing team) did a dynamic job is making the ship look sea-worthy and way cool. Please take a behind-the-scenes look at the total VFX process within "Save Our Souls" (and "Ghost In The Machine" which they also did lots of creative work on.

Criminal Minds marks its 100th episode by circling back to the beginning and addressing issues raised then, as well as bracing for a future with a "new reality" — and "new family."

"There's a question raised in the pilot episode of whether you can spend your time hunting monsters and not become a monster," executive producer Ed Bernero tells TVGuide.com. "We wanted to revisit that question 100 episodes later and see if the answer changed. Hotch [Thomas Gibson] does something that makes you wonder what's happened to everybody [since the start]."

Mickey O'Connor — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:37:00 -0500

Matthew Davis arrived on the Atlanta set of The Vampire Diaries just two days after getting the gig, leaving him no time to read the books; so playing Alaric Saltzman, an enigmatic new teacher, wasn't that tough. Right off the bat, Alaric takes a shine to both Jeremy and his aunt, but it will be a while before his true passion is revealed. (Hint: Alaric has something in common with Buffy.) Davis tells TVGuide.com what Alaric is researching in Mystic Falls, when he'll interact with Stefan and Damon and why he hopes never to be called to the special-effects office.

Today's News: Our Take - Mercy's James Tupper Previews Full-On "Violence"

Gina DiNunno — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:00:00 -0500

Last week's Mercy ended with Mike figuring out his wife Veronica had an affair in Iraq. So, how is Mike going to fare this week now that he's digested the news of her infidelity?

NBC picks up Community, Mercy and Parks and Recreation

"It comes to violence [between Mike and Sands]," James Tupper, who plays Dr. Sands on the medical drama, tells TVGuide.com. "Very full-on, direct, action-movie violence. I felt like an action hero for the day of shooting!"

Watch free, full episodes of Mercy

Though it's hard to say why Sands has had such a hard time letting Veronica go despite her ambivalence, Tupper feels a lot of it has to do with them sharing something in Iraq. "I think being close to her is necessary for his recovery from the experience," says Tupper.

While the freshman series has aired only its first six episodes, last week alone, Elisabeth Moss, Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara appeared as guest stars. Tupper also discussed an upcoming appearance by his Men In Trees co-star and mother of his child, Anne Heche.
