Yeah, it'll probably take a while for them to figure out a schedule when everyone's available.

'Gossip Girl' exclusive: 'Lost,' 'Veronica Mars' alums flash back

"Let's do the time warp again!" is becoming a familiar refrain for more and more actors, now that Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage are filling out the cast for their '80s-set Gossip Girl prequel.

On the heels of Andrew McCarthy's hiring as the dad to Brittany Snow's Lily, my moles tell me exclusively that Lost alum Cynthia Watros is thisclose to a deal to play Lily's mom, CeCe. Also coming aboard, I hear, is Ryan Hansen, best known as Veronica Mars' aptly named Dick. He'll play Owen's (Shiloh Fernandez) pal, Shep, who's crushing (futilely) on Krysten Ritter's Carol.

So what do you think, peeps? Is all this gossip getting you psyched for the show? Or did Schwartz have you at leg warmers and shoulder pads? Don't keep it to yourself, share with the class below. (Additional reporting by Andy Patrick)

Please let Shep be like some character out of an Ellis novel and I'm sold.

Also, it's like Dick and Gia all over again.

I'll probably still think its Dick and Gia circa the 80's.

In Los Angeles, even better. I imagine there's going to be some slight drug references all around and lunches at the Ivy.

From TVGuide

Quote:

Friday Night Lights' Minka Kelly has landed the female lead on Body Politic, the CW's pilot about an absurdly pretty gathering of D.C. up-and-comers.

Kelly will play Hope, a sweet Michigan gal who, after her mother dies, moves to Washington to connect with the father she never knew — a senator-turned-attorney general (played by Animal House's Tim Matheson).

And what of Kelly's FNL gig? According to the Hollywood Reporter, should the NBC/DirecTV series get picked up for a fourth season, the actress likely would return for at least a few episodes, to wrap up college-bound Lyla's storyline.

Also on board for Body Politic is Jason Dohring, playing a reporter for the Washington Post. Following his run as Veronica Mars' Logan, Dohring most recently had a series regular role on CBS' short-lived Moonlight.

From Ausiello:

Question: It's been weeks since you've given us something on the Veronica Mars movie. Can you help a fan in desperate need of some good news? --Elise
Ausiello: Progress has been made! "I pitched [it] to Joel [Silver]," Rob Thomas reports. "He seemed to really like the pitch. Waiting to hear whether he can get The Powers That Be at Warner Bros. to take a chance on it. If they say no, we're out of luck, as the studio owns the rights. There's really nowhere else I can take it." Let's focus on the positive, shall we? Joel liked the pitch! Woo-hoo!

Glad that JD is cast in another pilot and great to hear about the update on the movie.

I forgot to drop both of those off last night, so thanks, Lizzie.

I'm looking forward to this new pilot of Jason's. Hopefully it gets picked up.
