updated 4:53 p.m. ET Oct. 29, 2009

Got a scoop request? An anonymous tip you’re dying to share? Just want to say hi? You can send any/all of the above to .

Question: G’day! How about you share some “Glee” scoop? —Vivian

Ausiello: OK, mate. There’s a crazy-ass rumor going around that Will will discover Terri’s faux baby plot, dump her, and then, in a moment of passion, get her pregnant for real! The really crazy-ass part? Sources confirm that two of those three things are true! And the other one? Not so much.

Question: I loved the Rachel-Puck hook-up in last week’s “Glee”! Is this something that the show may continue in the future? —Tiana

Ausiello: Not in the immediate future. In the immediate future, Puck is mostly into Quinn. Which is sweet considering he knocked her up and all.

Question: I have a really fun assignment for you, Aus. Create a chart listing every “Lost” alum there ever was, and then next to their names, tell us where things stand in terms of them returning for the final season. I just know how much you love to make lists. —Steven

Ausiello: I have a better idea: Let’s scrap the chart and forget we ever had this conversation. In return, I’ll share this “Lost” nugget with you: I hear Team Darlton will give us the answer to one of “Lost’s” oldest and most confounding mysteries. And I’m pretty sure it’s an answer none of us expected to get.

Question: Can you please find out what the deal is with episode 9 of “The Mentalist”? The plotline hasn’t been released, but I hear something big goes down at CBI. —Liz

Ausiello: Here’s what I know: It’s a big Red John episode and someone dies.

Question: Is Jenna the one who’s going to die on “The Vampire Diaries”? – Georgia

Ausiello: Nope.

Question: Have any “Vampire Diaries” tidbits? —Lauren

Ausiello: I have a tidbit. In episode 8, ****a* stakes ***o*.

Question: Is anything ever going to happen between Tony and Ziva on “NCIS”? —Lauren

Ausiello: I thought for sure something might happen in the Nov. 17 episode when the two sorta-lovebirds get trapped in an elevator overnight during a statewide blackout. But then an “NCIS” insider pointed out that it’s not Tony she’s marooned with, it’s another major male character. Guesses? Head to the comments!

Question: I’m really excited to hear about “Bones’” flashback episode. Does this mean we’ll be getting a visit from Zack? —Estee

Ausiello: “That’s still up in the air,” responds exec producer Stephen Nathan. “We would like to have him in the episode, but we have to work out scheduling as well as story issues.”

Question: When are you going to post your Q&A with the “Smallville” producers? — Trisha

Ausiello: I’m eschewing the customary Q&A in favor of a parceling-out approach. Here’s one scoop. Here’s another. And, looky here, there’s a bunch more below!

Question: Will Clois move full-steam ahead on “Smallville” or will there be a monkey wrench that derails the train? —Murnice

Ausiello: While the relationship hasn’t exactly moved along faster than a speeding bullet, you’ll be glad to know that there are blue skies on the horizon — beginning with this week’s big smooch. “They both have a few issues, so things never go as smoothly as you think,” says exec producer Kelly Souders. “But what’s great about the relationship, because it’s sort of more adult, mature relationship, is it actually brings their issues up to the forefront, and makes them start dealing with them instead of being the younger versions of themselves, where they might not have been that conscious of it.”

Question: Will Clark ever find out about Lois’ so-called “Sex Dream” on “Smallville”? —Lisa

Ausiello: “I would say tune into (episode 9) ‘Pandora,’” Souders teases. “Reality is relative in ‘Pandora,’ but I will say that when (Lois) goes to the future, there’s some skin there.” Souders adds that “‘Pandora’ is literally like a finale. It’s huge. You’ll see an alternate ending for everyone in the cast. You’ll see what could happen to them and the future is dramatic. You won’t be disappointed.”

Question: When will Clark put on the iconic glasses on Smallville? —Jackson

Ausiello: “There’s something coming up in these first nine episodes,” Souders reveals, “in which Clark might at least contemplate glasses.”

Question: Why has Allison Mack had so little screen time on “Smallville” this season? —Kathy

Ausiello: The calm before the storm, perhaps? “Chloe fans will not be disappointed,” Souders maintains. “There will be some budding romance in her life from an unexpected source.” Oliver? “I’m not saying.” In possibly related news, Souders reveals to me exclusively that during the second half of the season, “Chloe is going to meet a new hero who is not all that he’s cracked up to be.” Will this hero be carrying a DC Comics certificate of authenticity? “I don’t think we got the rights to his name cleared,” says Souders, “but it’s somebody fans of the show will be familiar with.” Guesses?
