Tonight brings the end of Sons of Anarchy‘s wild fourth season (FX, 10 p.m. ET), and there’s at least one person who’s happy to see Clay in a hospital bed: Ron Perlman. “It’s the first time I actually felt rested the whole season,” Perlman jokes to EW. “You think it’s easy putting contracts out on all those people? That’s very stressful. And you know, a man my age, in my condition, it’s more excitement than I could ever need.” READ FULL STORY »

Awwww. Y’all know what I realized this week?
It’s been just about one year since we first started our show-mance (and I mean that quite literally). Our mutual love for television has brought us together and I couldn’t be happier about it. So many thanks for your readership, harassment, and love. Sometimes, it all even came rolled in a single e-mail. Crazies after my own heart — I love it.
So I hope you enjoy today’s installment and the comfort of knowing that you’re now officially my longest relationship ever. Woo!!… I think.
Also, celebrate by sending me more questions and ponderings. (E-mail: SpoilerRoom@EW.com or Tweet: @EWSandraG) You’re great people and I appreciate you. Happy Anniversary!! (Note: It was officially last Saturday, but in the grand tradition of all my relationships, I forgot. So we can celebrate now!)
‘GREY’S ANATOMY’: KIM RAVER TALKS TEDDY’S GRIEF
So, readers, was Grey’s Anatomy not the most heart-wrenching thing ever last night? I was consoled only by the fact that I was sure there were other people somewhere bawling along with me. But aside from leaving me with puffy eyes, the episode also left us all with a burning question: What’s going to happen to poor Teddy? Well, when I spoke with Kim Raver, she weighed in on what’s next. “It’s like the time-bomb waiting to explode,” she says. “I know that she doesn’t just dissolve into a puddle on the floor. It’s not that kind of grieving. I know she will go into ‘Let me try to fix it’ mode. But we don’t know how long that will hold.” READ FULL STORY »

Those motorcycle engines on Sons of Anarchy will run a little longer: FX just announced that it ordered a 14th episode of the show that will air Dec. 6. The drama from Kurt Sutter is in its fourth season and has already been picked up for a fifth.
This is the highest-rated season of SOA, thanks to the high-octane story line about aging club leader Clay (Ron Perlman) and his controversial decision to get the Sons in the drug trade. The 10th episode airs tomorrow.
“Creatively, this has been SONs best and biggest season ever,” said Nick Grad, Exec VP of Original Programming, in a statement. “Kurt asked us to consider adding an extra episode to fully close this current chapter of the SONs saga. By adding the extra episode, it wraps up a magnificent season in an extraordinary fashion. This is a real bonus for fans of the series.”
Sutter told EW that Clay is in full-on panic mode this season. “Clay is seeing his power and his manhood slowly slip away from him and really wanting to go out with as big a piece of the pie as he possibly can,” says Sutter, who started out at FX as a scribe on The Shield. “Clay is that sort of militaristic personality where he sort of locks into a goal, and he compartmentalizes, and he’s just like a bulldog. He doesn’t let go. He’s not unlike, interestingly enough, Vic Mackey in a lot of ways. He’s really a guy that’s focused on a goal and runs towards it and really is able to sort of justify or compartmentalize the things that he does.”

An FX showrunner has jumped into the imbroglio between DirecTV and the Fox Networks, which have yet to strike a new carriage deal so viewers can continue watching nets like FX, National Geographic and the Fox Movie Channel. Sons of Anarchy executive producer Kurt Sutter announced on his website that he shot a PSA for FX that will air before tonight’s episode that warns viewers about a possible blackout should the two sides fail to hammer out a new deal.

‘GOSSIP GIRL’: EP TALKS MORE ON ‘SLEEP NO MORE,’
How much did you love this news? I was so excited I even circled Nov. 14 in my calendar and drew a creepy mask by the date to remind myself. But in case you need even more reasons to be excited about the impending romantic entanglements in this very special episode, executive producer Josh Safran told me that much “like masked balls in the past, there are multiple kisses — between multiple people” in the episode. “Like, quadratic couples, I’d say,” he teases. Could that have something to do with the “big kiss” everyone has been asking me about? Possibly… READ FULL STORY »

The drama about an outlaw biker club is the No. 1 scripted drama series in all of basic cable. Season four which concludes on Nov. 29 is averaging 5.8 million viewers and 3.9 viewers ages 18-49. When taking into account multiple viewings, the show actually averages 9 million total viewers and 6 million adults 18-49.
“Everyone at FX is very grateful to Kurt Sutter, his many writing, directing and producing collaborators and his masterful cast for making such a compelling and beautifully crafted show,” says FX President Jon Landgraf in a statement. “It is no small challenge to bring the themes of a great, ancient play like Hamlet into a wholly original television setting and to tell this complex story in a way that is both riveting and accessible to a broad audience.”
The drama stars Ron Perlman, Katey Sagal, and Charlie Hunnam. Seven episodes remain this season. The drama airs Tuesdays at 10 on FX.
