Today, Alyson Hannigan made a ripple in the pond with this tweet about husband Alexis Denisoff.

Alexis is shooting his first day of Dollhouse right now!

Sounds like a match made in Joss-heaven!

Here are a few other tidbits from the Twitter world.

–@TVGuideMagazine: Ostroff on #Supernatural: “we hope it will go on…Kripke has done a wonderful job.”

— @heybuzzsugar Don’t expect more than one season of Day One, though if it does well it could return. More of an event, says Bromstad. #TCA

— @Syfy  We announced our new superhero show Alphas – http://bit.ly/zZhk7

This was only one area where the budget had to be slashed, Variety reports that there will also be cuts made to the writing staff and the turn-around time for each episode.

It’s a great leap forward, but don’t start checking your TV listings just yet. It will likely be more than a year before any of the new episodes hit the airwaves.

If they can’t get all of the originals back, should they even bother to make new episodes or is it more about the show than the actors?

Variety is also reporting that Warner Brothers and Leo DiCaprio’s production company are in development on a new Twlight Zone movie. Rand Ravich is set to pen the script.

Finally, Brian Lowry has an interesting piece on the power struggle between Comic Con and the TCA’s (Television Critics Association tour) as print reporters battle to remain relevant in an online world.

– New casting spoiler from TVGuide Magazine about yet another returning character in a shiny new package.

– Ausiello has the scoop on the actor who is making the jump from one mysterious TV show into the role of Lucifer on Supernatural.

– Christian Kane fans who showed up for the Leverage star’s gig in Portland got a huge surprise when Jensen Ackles hopped on stage to sing along.

Jensen was on his way up to Vancouver to begin shooting the new season but wanted to stop and say happy birthday to his old friend. Jensen, Steve Carlson and Aldis Hodge (Jake from Superantural, Hardison on Leverage) spurred the crowd on to a rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday to You.”  And he also sang back-up to Christian’s fast-paced version of “Luchenbach, Texas.”

I had the pleasure of previewing Christian’s new CD and it’s a great mix of classics, ballads and that Southern Rock style that he does so well. They were shooting for a summer release to coincide with the new season of Leverage.

Here’s a vid posted by a fan:

How about this great old Supernatural photo. If you haven’t rewatched the pilot in awhile, do it. It’s fun to see how the boys began.

Worthy comes from a long line of scifi projects. He was Jannar on Enterprise, and he guested on Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Fallen, and he had a pivitol role in the series finale of Dark Angel. Without checking IMDB — can you name the character he played?

As part of her regular role, she’ll develop a relationship with fellow agent Davis Cole (played by Freddie Prinze. Jr.), but since this is 24, you know that she has a few skeletons in her closet  which she’s trying desperately to keep hidden.

Ausiello’s report makes it sound like it’s all systems go, even though last week, Sackoff (seen here at the Collectormania con in the UK) took herself out of the running for the role.
