In the car on the way to the White Collar set, series creator Jeff Eastin (@jeffeastin) answered fan questions. Here's the best stuff. SPOILERS ENSUE
1. Episode 3.08 sounds Jones-centric. Jones will get a love interest in this episode also.
2. Andrew McCarthy who played Adler last season is directing this week.
3. Diana's girlfriend and June's granddaughter may appear again if the scheduling works out.
4. No plans for the Burkes to have kids.
5. Matt Bomer uses his real Texan accent in the next episode.
6. Tim DeKay will direct an episode.
7. Plans to shoot the season 4 premiere somewhere outside of New York. If there is a season 4. No plans to regularly shoot anywhere but NY because of production costs.
8. Look for goodies at the White Collar fan event at Com-Con.
9. June will continue to show up in the season. (I didn't know this was questionable.)
10. Look for Eastin in a cameo at some point.
11. Ideally, Eastin would like George Clooney to play Neal's father. Pierce Brosnan would be a good choice too.
12. The character of Lauren Cruz is gone for good. The actress is starring in another show.
13. Peter knows Mozzie's real name. (Huh? This one surprises me.)
14. Neal's family will be featured and take a larger role in season 4, presuming they are renewed which seems likely. The writers and Eastin have already started planning the season 4 arc. Eventually we will see Neal's parents. No word if that will be a flashback or not.
15. Eastin does occasionally read White Collar fan fiction and look at fan art.
16. They are scheduled for 16 episodes through the USA - Fox deal but Eastin hopes they can get 18 instead.
17. Diana's last name was supposed to be Lancing but the clearance was messed up. Her last name is spelled Barrigan.
18. Eastin's favorite episodes: Pilot, BOH, Free Fall, Hard Sell, Out of Box, Bottlenecked, Withdrawal, Copycat Caffrey, Front Man, Point Blank, Forging Bonds
19. Agent Blake will be in future episodes. (Sounds like he may be the new office/van sitter instead of Jones. Anything to get Jones into the action.)

Thanks for collating them all
ReplyDeleteSounds like not only season 3 but season 4 has some good twists in it. Can't wait until season 4 is official because I would love backstory on Neal's family. And of course the 3.08 episode sounds like I can scratch another item off my wish list. I hope we get some backstory on Jones too.
ReplyDeleteI'm still surprised that they made the actress playing Sarah a regular this season. She hasn't done very much thus far while Jones has been in the show even more than before.
ReplyDeletelol at 11!!! XD
ReplyDeleteAccording to Eastin, Charlie Hewson who plays Agent Blake can be followed @cwhewson
ReplyDeleteEastin tweeted that she was contracted for only a certain amount of episodes.
ReplyDeleteWe know when we'll get to see Alex back? Kinda miss her.
ReplyDeleteActually he was asked that question but skirted it to answer the Sara part of the question. Either they want to make her return a surprise or we'll get zip this season. I really hope it is the former because I love the Alex character.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like more and more producers, actors, etc. are sharing mini interviews on Twitter. I love this trend because it allows everyone to participate instead of waiting for an article to come out. USA seems to be particularly good at this. If you missed the Live chat with Willie Garson on Tuesdays, go to http://chatter.usanetwork.com/show.php?show=whitecollar. click on Live Event and then click on more at the bottom.
ReplyDeleteVery curious to learn more about Neal's family. What is it with them that turned Neal into a Con-man?
ReplyDeleteAwesome spoilers! I love all of them.
ReplyDeleteAnd can we get a Burke baby eventually? Please?
