Kristen Bell
Kristen Bell talks about cuddling with Teddy Dunn
The unthinkable is happening on UPN's Veronica Mars. It's getting better.
"I really liked episode eight," executive producer Rob Thomas says of the latest episode. "But everyone at the network said this Wednesday's episode was their favorite [one] ever."
Those of us who've followed this brilliant underdog series know that, if true, this is no small feat. Of course, the buzz could have something to do with a certain jaw-dropping twist near the end of the episode, which I learned about during a recent visit to the San Diego set. It's so surprising, they've shot two versions, which Kristen Bell discusses in the video clip above.
Not to mention a certain fanbase might go especially ape-dung over this ep, given that Alyson Hannigan and Charisma Carpenter are reuniting.
"It is a smackdown!" Charisma tells me of her scene, in which her character, Kendall Casablancas, comes face to face with her boy-toy's sister, Trina Echolls (Alyson). "The bitch in the bikini is taking on Logan's bitchy sister."
"It's good, but it's so weird," Alyson says of the reunion, adding that she "was channeling Cordelia" during the scene. "It doesn't feel like it's been however many years it's been. We picked up right back where we were. I'm expecting Nick to walk in any second now!"

Alyson Hannigan, Charisma Carpenter

As you can see in the video clip at left, these babes are truly grateful to have each other on the set. As is Miss Mars herself. "I've had a lot more scenes with Alyson," Kristen Bell tells me, "who's absolutely lovely. She's really, really funny. And I've only had the one scene with Charisma, but they're both great."
Rob agrees. "Charisma is a doll," Rob told me earlier this week via the batphone. He happened to be on set directing (his first time on Veronica Mars!) the 11th episode, which he also wrote and guest stars Lucy Lawless. When I mentioned how smokin' hot Charisma has been looking this season, R.T. confessed, "I have her in a shower scene in my episode. Basically, the rule is, the less clothing we can put her in, the better. However, the Standards and Practices people have a lot to do!"

Jason Dohring
Jason Dohring reports that sex scenes with Charisma are no problem
Especially in those love scenes with Jason Dohring (Logan), which he talks about in the video clip at right. And, of course, I had to ask Charisma, who insists that although Jason is a bit reserved in person, "You know what? He's surprising. You think the packaging is just so demure, but, ohhh...he's fun! He's really fun." (Hear that? It's the sound of a-Dohring fans everywhere whimpering with jealousy.)
As for the Logan-Veronica-Duncan triangle, it seems, at least for the time being (this episode), our favorite sassy sleuth is sticking with Duncan (Teddy Dunn), my personal favorite, who reveals in the video clip at right that he and Veronica are having a "baby." (Please watch before you have a panic attack.)
By the way, have you noticed that Logan is always in green, and Duncan is always in blue? The wardrobe peeps told me that was a mandate from the network very early on--so viewers could "tell them apart." Ditto on Logan's necklaces. Pretty funny, eh?
And good news for LoVe (Logan & Veronica) fans. Rob says, "They do have hope. They absolutely have hope...I think there would have to be some serious changes [for them to be happy long-term]...But I hope the series lasts five years, and there's plenty of time to get to those places."
On that note, R.T. says of this season's ratings, "We continue to be in limbo, but we're in a better limbo, if that makes any sense. 3.1 million or 3.2 million, or whatever we're doing now, is certainly better than the 2.2 million we were doing last year. But it's still not generally the number that gets networks anxious to pick you back up. But you know, if Lost were just in repeats every week, we would be a home run for UPN."
And so, it seems there is an upside to Lost going into reruns until Jan. 11. "We have new ones until Dec. 10," Rob says, upon hearing th news. "So, that sounds great!"
Go, Veronica, go!
Also, I just found out that Thurs., Dec. 1, at 3 p.m. ET/noon PT, on UPN.com, I'll be hosting an hour-long interview (with live streaming video) of Rob Thomas, discussing the previous night's episode, as well as the episode airing Jan. 18 that he wrote and directed, and much more. Come on by!
