Degrassi: The Next Generation Becomes Daily Soap!



Network television might not be the safest place for daily serialzed dramas—or their fans— anymore, but it looks like our dreams of cable stepping up to the plate to save our suds may finally be starting to come true. New York Daily News is reporting TeenNick will be trying out the telenovela format for the upcoming 10th season of Degrassi: The Next Generation.

The network will air half-hour versions of the teen drama 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday for six weeks, Nickelodeon President Cyma Zarghami told the Daily News Thursday.

"We're making additional episodes, a little more in the telenovela format, a little bit faster, cheaper and more efficient," Zarghami said. "It will be, I think, a big success."

Katherine Heigl "ThisClose" to Leaving Grey's Anatomy

Katherine Heigl is "thisclose" to leaving Grey's Anatomy and her final episode may have already aired, according to Michael Ausiello at EW.com.

Sources confirm to me exclusively that series creator Shonda Rhimes has agreed to release the fast-rising movie star from her contract. It’s now up to ABC Studios and Heigl’s reps to hash out a final exit agreement.

The source adds that talks between Heigl and ABC have been going on for months and last week both sides mutually decided that the best solution would be to part ways now as opposed to at the end of the season. As a result, Heigl is not expected to return to the Grey’s set, which means her final episode as Izzie has already aired.

Thomas Calabro Isn't Counting Out Second Season of Melrose Place



Melrose Place is not dead yet! At least that is what star Thomas Calabro (Dr. Michael Mancini) wants us to think.

The actor told E! Online

"Right now, we're airing our first five or six episodes internationally, and I think the show's a big international hit. That's enough to bring a show back.

"The original Melrose Place struggled at first, too, and it ended up being a hit for seven seasons," Calabro continued. "We ended up being a defining mark of the '90s, and I don't see any reason why that can't happen again."

James Van Der Beek Enjoyed Stint on One Tree Hill

In a recent interview with MTV former Dawson's Creek heartthrob James Van Der Beak stated that he had a really good time while filming One Tree Hill.
I had a lot of fun doing that actually. I had a lot of fun on 'One Tree Hill'. At first my agent was like 'You can't do this. You’ve done so many guest stars.' I was like 'Okay.' But then I read the script and thought 'Okay this is fun.'"
