Now that Reiko Aylesworth has been dropped from ABC's The Forgotten, could SVU bring back her ADA character, Erica Alden, from Season 1? —Walt
MICKEY: It's an interesting idea, but a very well-informed source tells me that Aylesworth will not be returning to SVU. Instead, it's looking more likely that the new ADA will break the "young and female" mold — and they're looking at some big names.

Have you heard anything about Fox's Mental? We are enjoying it but have a feeling it won't stick around. — Merrily
MATT: Mental's ratings dipped after the premiere, but the entire 13-episode freshman run should unspool as planned. On the heels of the late David Carradine's appearance in this week's episode, John Pyper-Ferguson (Brothers & Sisters) and Spike Feresten (playing himself) guest on June 23, while Willie Garson (Sex and the City) turns up July 3, when the show moves to Fridays.

Can you tell me where to find the music from True Blood? — Patti
MICKEY: I'm guessing it was the show's brilliant opening credits that seduced you with its Southern Gothic gumbo of sex, religion and Jace Everett's "Bad Things." You can buy the soundtrack on Amazon.com or iTunes, but I'd hold off until you hear Christian pop singer Amanda Jane's version of "Jesus Asked Me Out Today," which appears in the second episode of Season 2. It's heavenly.

When does Californication return? And do we know yet how Rick Springfield fits into the new season? — Jackie
TIM: Season 3 of the David Duchovny series returns sometime late this year, with rock icon Rick Springfield playing a rock icon named Rick Springfield. The (hopefully fictionalized) Rick Springfield of the show is so debauched he makes Hank look like a Jonas brother. We can't actually say what he does in the pages of the script we've seen, but it involves butter, candle wax and... OK, that's as far as we can go.

If the cast of Dollhouse is going to stay intact, does that mean Miracle Laurie will be back, too? Mellie/November is my favorite character. — Katy
MATT: You and I are likethis when it comes to Mellie. Alas, we should both prepare for heartbreak. Though the Dollhouse scribes don't return to their Smith Coronas until next week, an insider tells me that since Paul negotiated Mellie's freedom from the Dollhouse in the Season 1 finale, "It would seem that Miracle's storyline has come to a close."

Do the kids on Glee do their own singing? — Jamie
MICKEY: Hold up there, Jamie. Who says they're "kids"? Fox has invested a lot of time and money into these sophisticated animatronic karaoke machines fitted with shiny hair and the latest mall fashions and they will not have you dismissing them in this manner. Ahem. Series creator Ryan Murphy told me that everyone in the cast had to submit to both acting and singing auditions. That said, to my ear the studio recordings sound "enhanced." For example, I only counted six people singing "Don't Stop Believin'" in the pilot episode, not 36.

I just watched the season finale of Without a Trace, and was curious: Were the photos they showed at the end actual missing persons that have been found due to the show spotlighting real cases? — Sonia
TIM: You're close: They were pictures of all the missing characters from the show's past season. But Without a Trace could easily have featured real people. The FBI says five people, most of them children, have been rescued as a direct result of the show highlighting their cases at the end of episodes. "We found it extremely useful as an avenue to ... have the general public assist in the location of these people," said FBI spokeswoman Michelle Goldschen. And yet still CBS canceled the show. Really, CBS: How many missing children has Cold Case brought home?

I know that Richard Dean Anderson is appearing in an episode of Stargate Universe, but will we see Amanda Tapping, too? Is there going to be a small Jack/Sam moment waiting for us? I also have a question about the Stargate Atlantis TV-movie — will Elizabeth be in it? — Hilla
MATT: Hilla, you're being a bit greedy hoping for SGU to stage such a reunion ... but in this case, you're in luck. As a source tells me, "If it's quality Jack/Sam time you're looking for, you won't be disappointed." However, you may be disappointed by the following. Atlantis boss Joseph Mallozzi tells the Buzz that while the first draft of Stargate: Extinction is done and is now being fine-tuned, "I'm sorry to say the character of Elizabeth will not be making an appearance."

I love Nurse Jackie already. What's coming next? — Kalleigh
MICKEY: I bet you're wondering if Jackie ever gets caught, right? The answer is yes. Also, look for Swoozie Kurtz and Blythe Danner to show up in a future episode — as ladies with direct ties to the All Saints ER.
