SPRING 2014: SCOTT BAKULA CAST IN 'NCIS' SPINOFF

NCIS' planned spinoff has found its main star.

If you haven't heard yet, NCIS is planning another spinoff in its franchise, and this time it will be based in New Orleans. News broke today that Scott Bakula, who is currently on HBO's Looking and was featured in the cable network's Liberace bio, Behind The Candelabra, has been cast in the lead role. Bakula will play Special Agent Pride and will demonstrate the very essence of New Orleans.

NCIS: New Orleans, or NCIS: NOLA, we're not exactly sure how they are going to title it, will be the hub of cases that affect the areas of Pensacola, Mississippi, Louisiana, and up to the Texas panhandle. The setting makes a lot of sense considering the military population bordering the Gulf. The spinoff pilot will air this spring as a two-parter on NCIS.

SPRING 2014: 'ONCE UPON A TIME' PLANNING TO KILL OFF A SERIES REGULAR

ABC's Once Upon a Time is enjoying a lengthy winter break (new episodes return March 9) but that hasn't stopped the show's creators from dropping hints on the season finale.

Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis have revealed that a major character will be killed off during the second half of this season. Now before you say to yourself "Oh they always kill off a character who comes back to life thanks to magic," let us say clearly that this character will be dead and done. According to the creators, the upcoming death will result in the exit of a series regular and right now everyone is a candidate.

Personally, Stay Tuned believes that the character to bite the dust will be Neal/Baelfire since the show has little to lose writing him off. A part of us, however, is pulling for Henry to be the victim. It would definitely spark a new conflict between the recently peaceful group of frenemies, and let's be honest, Henry Jared Gilmore is getting older and awkward and that just isn't cute when a tween fantasizes about fairy tales.

We'll just have to wait and see...Stay Tuned!

Earlier this week we learned that FOX's 24: Live Another Day will premiere on May 5 in a 12-episode series event. Now we are learning some details about the ever-increasing cast.

Benjamin Bratt has signed up to join the cast of the latest 24 adventure. Bratt will portray Steve Harris, the head of the CIA operations tracking fugitive Jack Bauer's movements in London. Bauer is in the UK to thwart a terrorist attack but Harris has other plans for our favorite fugitive.

SPRING 2014: '24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY' WILL PREMIERE ON MAY 5

24: Live Another Day is getting closer every day, and now the dates have been finalized.

Today, FOX announced the premiere date for the special event series, which picks up from the flagship series 24 though not necessarily right after the events of the final season and episode. Live Another Day is a 12-episode series that will reduce the need for filler as it will tell the events of the latest 24 hours in 12 episodes.

The action-packed drama centering on Jack Bauer's latest dilemma (and in London!) will premiere in a special two-hour episode on Monday, May 5. The following week, May 12, the show will air in its regular 9 pm time slot.
