Wilma. News are coming in on S2-! :) BEAUTY AND THE BEAST: We’ve still got a week before the Beauty and the Beast Season 2 premiere, but you’ll notice something missing from Vincent when we next see him: the scar on his face. The show explains what happened in the first episode back but new showrunner Brad Kern told me that there were lots of conversations about losing the scar for good: “Practically there were some production issues because it does take time to put on the scar, it does take time to take off the scar, and [Jay Ryan’s] skin didn’t like the scar that much all the time." There is also a creative and aesthetic reason to lose the scar, Kern explained: “We wanted a very super charged Vincent and open the door to mythology that we’re just beginning to talk about at the beginning of the season. We wanted Cat to notice right away that he’s different and we wanted the audience to know right away that something’s different then that becomes a mystery to be solved.” The scar may be gone but, thankfully, Sendhil Ramamurthy’s Gabe is not. No spoilers in how he cheats death in the season premiere but Kern teased: “There’s definitely a romance in store for Gabe in the course of the season.” As for saving Gabe’s life, Kern said it wasn’t easy. “When I was hired they showed me the season finale and he was shot 19 times in the chest. I said, ‘So isn’t that a challenge!?’” Kern also said that Gabe will spend of his time during season 2 trying to make amends to Cat for what he had a hand in last season. (Beauty and the Beast kicks off Season 2 on October 7 at 9/8 on The CW.) Read more tv spoilers at: tvfanatic/2013/09/jims-notebook-lisa-kudrow-on-scandal-changes-to-beauty-and-the-b/#ixzz2gOoeb3aC
