Question: Any chance for a romantic spark between Cal and Gillian on Lie to Me? —Julie

Lie to Me Returns June 7th, 2010 for the Second Half of Season Two

Kate — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:22:44 +0000

For everyone who has been asking: Lie to Me finally has a return date. It will start the second half of season two on June 7th, airing at 8:00 p.m. As speculated, it will be paired with the new Matt Nix action comedy “The Good Guys”.

By putting Lie to Me and The Good Guys on in the summer, Fox is setting up a schedule that would enable it to have new shows almost year round. If it works, this move could prove to be a “game-changer”, as The Wrap so succinctly put it.

So, how excited are you?

Question: If you see Brendan Hines from Lie to Me at press tour this week, please ask him if there are there any plans for a Loker character-centric episode in the near/possible future? —@spillednotes
Ausiello: Ask and you shall receive: “I think that’s coming up in another two or three episodes,” he told me. “In the meantime, we’ve got a really good episode that we’re about to start shooting that involves a bombing near the office. I get mixed up in it quite a bit, so that’ll be fun for the one reader who wrote you.”

Melissa George Scores a Recurring Role on Lie to Me

Kate — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:30:56 +0000

According to EW’s Ausiello, Melissa George will be guesting on Lie to Me as “Clara Martin”, a recurring role that starts in episode 11. Her character was described in the casting call previously announced, but, in short, think Anna Nicole Smith.

According to Ausiello, Clara “is the sassy wife of an older billionaire who has been murdered. After being exonerated in a high-profile murder trial, she assumes control of her husband’s empire. Lightman sees himself in her — naughty, fearless, strategic, and always game for the next adventure.”

UPDATE: According to TVGuide.com, Melissa will appear in at least two episodes. They also state that she and Lightman will “bond over their shared eccentricities”.

So, are you looking forward to seeing her “go toe-to-toe with Tim Roth”?

Ask Ausiello – 11/4/09

Question: Any news about Lie to Me? —Nicole
Ausiello: There’s a big episode coming up on Monday for Mekhi Phifer’s Agent Reynolds where we learn that he’s been hiding something in his past from the rest of the group. And as we all know, nobody hides stuff from Tim Roth, so expect some sparks to fly.

Will Lie to Me Get a Full Season Pick Up? Maybe You Can Help…

Kate — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 19:04:32 +0000

As previously reported, it appeared Fox was leaning toward picking up the back nine of Lie to Me’s second season. However, as a possibly intermediary move, they ordered three additional scripts. An okay sign, but not ideal.

Now, if you’re reading this post and you’re on the blog, that obviously means you’re a fan of the show. So can you help the show stick around? Well, EW’s Ken Tucker seems to think so. In a post published yesterday entitled “Lie To Me: Why it deserves to live. Why it may not. You can help.“, he lists three reasons why Lie to Me deserves more than 3 additional scripts. In short, they are as follows:

• “It’s gotten better: more tense, funnier, smarter.”

• “Lie To Me deserves to prove itself over another season, to demonstrate where it’s going. It’s clear that Ryan, the producers, and the writers have a plan — they want to provide more intensity to the show.”

• “Last night, we saw how good Lie To Me can be. With a superb guest appearance by Garret Dillahunt (Deadwood) as a gun-wielding hostage-taker, Roth and co-star Kelli Williams really got to show what they can do. Lie To Me has all the makings of a solid, maybe even surprisingly original series.”

But he follows this up with the comment: “But it needs more of a vote of confidence from its network. And from you.”

So here’s your mission: Today on Twitter I put out a task for the readers to Re-Tweet the article from Ken. If you’re on Twitter, please do that, and encourage others to do so as well. (Try to include @LieToMeScoop in the Tweet so I can monitor the RTing… So far there’s been a good response.) And, in the next several days leading up to the show, continue to spread the word about it, whether via Twitter, Facebook, or plain, good ‘ol word-of-mouth. Fox has shown that they have some confidence in the show, but they could definitely use some encouragement along the way… a nudge in the right direction. They’re at the point where they need to make a decision. Let’s just hope it’s the one everyone’s pulling for.
