With her brother’s life at stake (pun!) Elena found herself in a dark place — but did she give in to her murderous urges?
A funny thing happened when Elena (Nina Dobrev) sprouted fangs: People actually started to see some value in her! So when Connor (Todd Williams) took three of Mystic Falls’ finest humans hostage on the Nov. 8 episode of The Vampire Diaries, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) encouraged Elena to help out, despite Stefan’s (Paul Wesley) stern warning. And I’ll give you one guess as to which brother she listened to.

Did the ‘Nashville’ pilot leave you wanting an encore? Read our recap, then drop a comment with your review!
The series premiere of ABC’s Nashville introduced us to two women at very different points in their country music careers. Rayna James (Connie Britton) has been the industry’s undisputed queen for more than two decades, but declining album sales and a shift in the business threaten to snatch her throne right out from under her. Then there’s Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere), an up-and-coming pop-country pixie of Taylor Swift proportions — who also happens to be a raging bitch. Needless to say, Rayna and Juliette aren’t exactly rocking friendship bracelets.

Plus, Jenna’s mysterious blog commenter is revealed — and about a million other wacky surprises!
I was honestly starting to doubt this day would ever come. Jenna (Ashley Rickards) finally chose between Matty (Beau Mirchoff) and Jake (Brett Davern) on the Sept. 20 season finale of Awkward — but because this is Jenna we’re talking about, her decision only made things more complicated. For everyone. So who did Jenna choose? Drumroll please…

Let’s talk about the final episode of ‘Weeds’: Do you think the series ended on a high note, or did it all go up in smoke?
“It’s Time” couldn’t have been a more appropriate title for Weeds’ series finale, which aired Sept. 16 on Showtime. After eight seasons of selling pot, smuggling weapons, and God knows what else, Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) and her merry band of hemp lovers have earned themselves a long retirement. But before the characters peaced out forever, we were given a long glimpse into their distant futures — and it was quite the trip.

‘The Vampire Diaries’ costume designer reveals her rationale behind Elena & Katherine’s styles — but will everything change now that they’re both sporting fangs?
Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) may have every guy on The Vampire Diaries wrapped around her doppelfinger, but that doesn’t mean she’s the hottest ticket in Mystic Falls. That honor goes to Nina’s other vampire character, Katherine — at least as far as the show’s costume designer Leigh Leverett is concerned. “Katherine has been around for hundreds of years; She follows fashion trends a little more,” Leigh tells CNN. “[Her clothes are] edgier and sexier than what we put on Elena.”

Plus, why did Lacey really write that ‘carefrontation’ letter? Nikki tells HollywoodLife.com our answer is on the way!
I know every episode of Awkward is big, but the Aug. 30 episode is, like, really big — especially for everybody’s favorite teen-mom-turned-train-wreck Lacey! “This week, you find out why Lacey wrote the ‘carefrontation’ letter in the first place,” Nikki DeLoach tells HollywoodLife.com, confirming that “it’s a big episode.” (You hear that, people? It’s big!)

Plus, we meet a second member of Mona’s ‘A’ team — and it’s so NOT who you thought it would be!
Pretty Little Liars creator Marlene King told me the Aug. 28 summer finale was her “all-time favorite episode” — and after watching it, I have to agree. Not only did we finally get “justice for Maya,” as promised, but a character fans have loved since the series premiere was revealed to have “a” very dark side.  

S**t gets real after Jenna, Matty & Jake’s devastating second encounter with the ‘Wheel of Pep.’
The secrets came out on the Aug. 23 episode of Awkward — and I mean ALL of the secrets. Still furious with Jenna (Ashley Rickards) for keeping her Matty (Beau Mirchoff) relationship from him, Jake (Bret Davern) brought the down-low lovers together to shame them in the most public way imaginable: the Wheel of Pep!

Creator April Blair reveals what she had planned for Jane & Billy’s first kiss, Ben & Rita’s race to the altar, and more.
Jane By Design fans were crushed last week when ABC Family announced the show wouldn’t be returning for a second season — I coped with carbs —  but fortunately, creator April Blair was more than happy to give HollywoodLife.com an exclusive breakdown of what we would have seen in season two. And trust me, it would have been awesome.

‘Jane By Design’ won’t return for a second season, ABC Family confirms.
It’s with much sadness that I report ABC Family has decided not to renew Jane By Design. The decision was announced Aug. 17, on the heels of several other series — Bunheads, Melissa & Joey, Baby Daddy and Switched at Birth — receiving new season and back-order pickups.

Stop reading if you haven’t watched the ‘Teen Wolf’ season finale. It’s spoiler time!
The saga of the Kanima finally came to an end on the Aug. 13 season finale of Teen Wolf, but not quite how anyone predicted. By the time the dust settled, a villain’s twisted plan was revealed, a blue-eyed werewolf was born, and a fan-favorite couple called it quits. Wolves these days… so dramatic.

Find out which pop star is ‘obsessed’ with the show & which actor feels like a ‘teenage girl’ every time he watches it!
Who knew The Vampire Diaries had so many fans in high places? Earlier this week, we learned that Gabby Douglas and Kelly Clarkson are both addicted to the CW hit — Kelly got a personal set visit from executive producer Julie Plec, while Gabby got a congratulatory video from the cast — and they’re not alone! Read on to see which other Hollywood hot-shots can’t go without their weekly fix of Mystic Falls.

New spoilers (and photos) from this season’s final three episodes of ‘True Blood’ reveal Jason & Jessica in a compromising position. Is Bill making her do it?
Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) and Jason’s (Ryan Kwanten) relationship is about to get more complicated than ever — like, they could be going from friends-with-benefits to mother-and-son in a matter of weeks. HBO released a new (and very spoiler-y) trailer for the final three episodes of True Blood’s fifth season, which features one particularly haunting image of Jessica and Jason hugging. In a grave!

Plus, several major characters are now chilling on death’s door! Who will survive next week’s season finale?
Here’s a brain scratcher for you: Could Peter (Ian Bohen), who we’ve all believed to be as bad as they come, actually be one of the good guys? Just when the Kanima situation looked its bleakest on the Aug. 6 episode of Teen Wolf — I mean, Grandpappy Argent was literally sending Scott (Tyler Posey) telepathic death threats from the sidelines of a lacrosse game — Peter revealed the key to saving Jackson (Colton Haynes) from his lizard-y curse! And surprise, surprise: that key is Lydia (Holland Roden).

We didn’t technically get our answer, but it was still a big night for Team Jake!
Do you need to love someone in order to have sex, or do you need to have sex with someone in order to figure out if you love them? That was the biggest of many questions Jenna (Ashley Rickards) pondered on the Aug. 2 episode of Awkward, and by the end of the night, she finally came to a conclusion — in the back of Jake’s (Brett Davern) surprisingly well-decorated minivan.
