NEWS: Ashley Madekwe, Terri Conn, Beverly Collard, Victoria Rowell, Bobbie Eakes, Joylessness of Sex on TV

Ashley Madekwe leaving REVENGE
Madekwe will not return to the show next season as Ashley Davenport. Her option was not picked up due to (lack of) storyline reasons.

Beverly Collard returning to CORONATION STREET
Collard is returning to CORRIE two years after she quit over mental health problems. The actress, who has played barmaid Liz McDonald since 1989, will appear on screen in October.

NBC renews HANNIBAL
More than two weeks after its upfront presentation, NBC has decided the fate of its last remaining bubble series, giving drama HANNIBAL a 13-episode second-season renewal for a return next midseason or later.

Terri Conn, Anthony Rapp, Patrick James Lynch, Stephen Payne and Katy Wright-Mead Will Read "Deleted Scenes"
A benefit reading of "Deleted Scenes" will be presented June 10 at The Mainstage Theater to benefit the Hemophilia Association of New York.

The Cast of OWN's THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS Dish on Their Characters
With a tagline that reads, "The rich get richer and the poor get even," the Tyler Perry-created drama, THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS has all of the camp of a daytime drama, but it's on primetime (move over, "Dallas"!), with a cast that boasts a bevy of familiar faces from soap operas past, including ONE LIFE TO LIVE, AS THE WORLD TURNS and PASSIONS.

Robin Roberts' Name Floated for Daytime, She Nixes Idea Of Her Own Show
One of the several potential stumbling blocks to such a new talk show would be finding a time slot for it on ABC-owned stations and stations in other markets. The most natural place for a Roberts vehicle is at 3 p.m., where Katie Couric's Disney/ABC talk show currently airs on ABC O&Os and on many ABC affiliates that took ABC's offer to take back the hour of time from the network in order to carry the syndicated KATIE.

Is NASHVILLE the most feminist show on TV?
Country music isn't known for its progressive sexual politics, but the ABC drama is surprisingly subversive.

The Joylessness of Sex on TV
Sex on TV is more risque, more graphic and more raunchy than ever. So why is it so incredibly unsexy?

Foster care shaped soap star Victoria Rowell
“It is who I am,” said the woman best known for her role as Drucilla Winters in THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS. An actress, writer and New York Times best selling author, Rowell told an audience this weekend at the Urban League of Greater Stark County it is because of the foster homes she lived in that she achieved success.

GAME OF THRONES adding three major characters for season 4
The Magnar of Thenn. Styr isa major part of Mance Rayder's Wildling army — although a lot of his part in the book has already been given to Tormund Giantsbane. In the book, he leads the scouting party that climbs the wall, which Jon Snow and Ygritte are part of. But presumably he'll play some other huge part in the Wildling attack on Castle Black.

Mace Tyrell. The son of Lady Olenna and father of Margaery and Loras — we've already heard from Lady Olenna that he's a disappointment. Presumably coming to town for Margaery's wedding.

Oberyn Martell. The first person from Dorne we've really met — he comes to King's Landing to take a seat on the Small Council, and winds up playing a huge role in Tyrion's storyline.
