These leads all come from Dustin’s site

- Roman falls for Andre’s plan this week, all due to Kate. Kate does try to warn him of course, but it is too late. Roman is then buried alive!

- Remember Shawn and Belle were locked in the freezer, well Bo and Hope save them this week. Is it too late for this couple though? I’m not talking life but as a couple.

- Steve gets stabbed this week when he confronts Andre. Remember he was already boiling over because of issues with Benjy.

- China Lee reveals to Nick a secret about her boys.

Looking gorgeous as ever, here’s how Milo looked walking into the Emmy Awards a few hours ago. I wonder if he called Alexis today to wish her a Happy Birthday? Wouldn’t that be sweet?

Samantha Who? - Samantha has bumped her head and has no clue who she is. She wakes from an 8 day coma and is told she has retrograde amnesia, her parents are a nuts too. But what happens when her boyfriend learns she cheated on him, will he stick it out or ditch her? Samantha is played by Christina Applegate. Airs October 15, 9:30/8:30c.

Cavemen - You’ve seen them in the Geico commericials but now they’ve made it into a tv series. Airs Oct 2, at 8/7c.

Carpoolers- Imagine a group of women carpooling with all the gossip and everythign…well now you get to see how men would act. Finding a carpool space is harder than finding a regular parking space and once a spot opens up it gets crazy. From sing-alongs to quiet times in the car, watch as these guys learn more about one another and share in the joys of carpooling. Airs Oct 2, 8:30/7:30c.

Pushing Daisies - He touches people that have died and they come back to life for one minute, touches them again and back to the dead they go. He tries learning exactly what or who it was that killed a person and tries to serve justice. Not only can he bring people back to life, if they touch him they can die. Airs Oct 3.

(more…)

Journeyman - Journeyman reminds me a lot or Premonition but a guy instead of a girl as the main character. He’s the only one going back in time, but when he disappears (or goes on his journey back in time) his wife begins to miss him and wonder. Course when he tries explaining everyone begins to think he’s gone nuts. I can see this being very funny.

Life - A police officer goes to prison and loses his family, but after many years the case is re-opened and they learn he never did anything. So now he comes back and once again is a cop and must go on with life after living in prison. This one will be a tv show that I tune in. Will you?

I do like the quote “Life was his sentence, and life was what he got back.”

Chuck - Did ya like OC? If ya did, you’ll probably like “Chuck” it is being created by Josh Schwartz, who created OC. Instead of teens though they are twenty-something spies. This should be a fasinating show. Chuck is the nerdy computer geek of course and he has lots of secrets at his disposal. Oh I can’t wait to see him get the blonde, he’s gotta know it’s a setup.

I know I’m a bit late with this but only by a few hours, so here is the weekly spoilers.

- Phillip is knocked cold and later told never to come back to the women’s shelter or April (the one in charge) will press charges. By the way, Belle went with Phillip. Oooh, I can only imagine Shawn’s feelings here. Even after getting bonked on the head Phillip states he won’t be leaving AZ without his son, Belle agrees to stay with him due to his bump.

- Later in the week Andre locks Belle and Shawn in a freezer and leaves them to die. Will they be found in time?

- Andre forces Kate to set a trap for Roman and Roman will be in deep trouble. Ya’ll know he’ll save anyone, even Kate…or should I say especially Kate?

- Stephano and Grandpa Shawn will confront one another.

Due to Passions moving to DirecTv there will be no shows, instead it will be replaced by some other show, today it was a Judge Show. It was very weird, even today I waited to see what would happen. I’ll continue to search what is going on and posting spoilers, but I won’t be able to watch the show itself as I did not move to DirecTV. Did you?

Psst. From what I hear Theresa and Ethan will end up together, however ya’ll know how Salem and Passions go, something is due to get in the way eventually. Gwen will also come forward with a child….Ethan & her child. Come on ya’ll knew that was coming.

To all those Passions fans, ya’ll already know they’ll be leaving NBC come September 27th. Which means the “Today Show” will now be getting a fourth hour for their show instead of just three. Yep, move over they are coming in. It seems Days of Our Lives will be taking Passions’ time slot. Not sure how I feel, I like the Today Show but for four hours?
