Former General Hospital star Coltin Scott Stephen Martines (ex-Nikolas) is joining The CW's Vampire Diaries in a recurring role as a "bad-ass" vampire Frederick, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Hollywood Reporter is predicting the odds of which "on the bubble" network shows will return next fall. They include critical ratings challenged darlings, one-time hits, freshman series and pretty much every scripted drama on NBC that isn't a member of the Law & Order franchise.
Which of The Hollywood Reporter's "on the bubble" series do you want to return next fall?
Melrose Place is as good as canned, but could One Tree Hill be headed for SOAPnet if The CW doesn't renew it? According to Spoiler TV it may just happen.
One Tree Hill: There are some messy contracts and negotiations and it could go either way but even if renewed it will likely have budget cuts and maybe lose more cast members and producers. SOAPnet has the option of renewing it if the CW were to cancel it.
Fans can reportedly expect official renewal announcements for Gossip Girl, 90210, Smallville, Supernatural, America's Next Top Model and The Vampire Diaries later this month.

In the "Which The CW Series Has Been the Best this Fall?" post I mentioned that that Gossip Girl has been a disappointment for me this fall, but I wouldn't say it is the worst. Melrose Place has struggled to find an identity, but was miles ahead of 90210 which has been, well, 90210.

Which The CW Series was the worst this Fall?
With Christmas coming soon and the midseason TV series debuts in January not far behind, we're taking a look back at the 2009 Fall TV season. First up, The CW with its teen centric programming. By CW standards Vampire Diaries has been a ratings and demographic success, but Melrose Place has underwhelmed. Personally, I think Gossip Girl has been a disappointment this season, but just when I'm ready to throw something at my TV they pull off an episode like the Thanksgiving episode and suck me back in.

Which CW series do you think was the best this fall?
November sweeps ended on Thanksgiving eve, you're finishing the last of the Thanksgiving leftovers and all of ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and The CW's new scripted series are beginning to wrap up the last of their 2009 episodes. Anticipated by viewers some of the new series have already been cancelled, including: Eastwick, Hank and The Beautiful Life. A few series, like Brothers haven't "officially" (and are thus included in this poll) gotten the axe, but they might as well be. Others, like Vampire Diaries have set records for their network. Fortunately many of the new series have been picked up or received script orders. The question now becomes, which of these new series is your favorite?
Which new scripted TV series that hasn’t been cancelled is your favorite?
Unfortunately, this time around the late Aaron Spelling's "lucky penny" didn't exactly cause ratings to soar. According to The Live Feed, last night's installment of MP, which revealed Amanda to be the secret owner of the posh, PR firm Ella works for, only resulted in a 14 percent bump. I blame it on the lame promos.
Ripping off The Devil Wears Prada is not the way to go when announcing the triumphant return of primetime's most lethal blonde. The CW should have shelled out for a high octane song from Pink or Fergie, and utilized flashback clips from the original show. READ MORE
Melrose Place: “Ocean”
It’s countdown to Heather Locklear on Melrose Place and The CW is making as big PR push, including a Donning Anew the Miniskirt of a Predator by the New York Times.
Tuesday's episode wasn't that explicit, but they are heating up as we get ever closer to Amanda’s return. The police raided Auggie’s apartment searching for additional evidence against Auggie, but he was nowhere to be found. Of course Melrose Place’s Gossip Girl equivalent to Vanessa, Riley, has been in contact with him even as her relationship with Jonah continued to hit speed bumps. READ MORE
