by Matt Webb Mitovich


Is Criminal Minds‘ Hotch headed for heartbreak? Is NCIS finally pulling the trigger on “Tiva”? New bromantic tension for Neal Caffrey and Peter Burke? What kind of gal will pop Nolan’s collar on Revenge? Read on for answers to those questions plus other teases from fall and summer shows.

San Antonio Story: Thomas Gibson

Thomas Gibson

SA Story: Splitting his time between LA and SA, the longtime TV star and all-the-time family man is more likely to be seen on the sidelines of a youth soccer game at Fort Sam Houston than courtside for the Lakers.

I might be the only one, but I am sad about Hotch and Beth's breakup on Criminal Minds. How will it affect Hotch? — Stephanie

ADAM: Cheer up, Stephanie! Although Bellamy Young, who plays Beth, will have a limited presence on Minds this season since she's just been made a series regular on ABC's Scandal, executive producer Erica Messer assures us that Hotch isn't in for more heartbreak.
