On Friday night the ATX Television Festival staged a surprise reunion of the Friday Night Lights cast, including stars Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton.
The fest confirmed Scott Porter, Gaius Charles, Matt Lauria and Brad Leland for the panel, but when special guests Chandler and Britton took the stage too, the audience erupted in cheers.
There were several sweet moments during the discussion, including Chandler’s admission that he was “lucky to could work with everyone”, to which Porter responded, “No, we were lucky.”

Fans of The CW got a special treat during last weekend’s ATX TV Festival when The Vampire Diaries’ Arielle Kebbel moderated the Hart Of Dixie panel with show creator Leila Gerstein and stars Scott Porter and Wilson Bethel.
Scott and Wilson shared a few interesting tidbits about when and how they were cast in the show – and their weird connection to Grimm.
The actors, who play George Tucker and Wade Kinsella (the two points of the show’s Zoe Hart love triangle), explained that they were both auditioning for roles on Grimm when Wilson got the call offering him the role of Wade. But, Scott didn’t have to sweat it out for too long. According to Gerstein, he was always her first choice for George.

Today’s panel began with a show of hands. “How many people in this room donated to the Kickstarter?”
It was roughly 3/4 of the room. I knew then that the Veronica Mars discussion with writer/creator Rob Thomas and Chris “Piz” Lowell was going to be amazing.

There was a reason I didn’t put on eye makeup Sunday morning. Sure, laziness was part of it… but I also had a sneaking suspicion I’d end up sobbing during the American Dreams reunion. And boy, was I right.
Thankfully, I wasn’t the only one. Many on stage, including Vanessa Lengies (Roxanne Bojarski), were visibly wiping away tears after footage depicting the Philadelphia riots was shown. Most of the event was spent with cast and creators reminiscing and sharing stories. Lengies and Brittany Snow (Meg Pryor) were candid about how grateful they were for landing their roles and meeting each other.

During the Vampire Diaries panel at the ATX TV Fest, Arielle Kebbel and and the show’s Executive Producer Julie Plec talked about everything from The Vampire Diaries season 5 to their favorite “ships” to the top 3 most difficult character deaths* and even the VD spinoff, The Originals.
First off, Kebbel plays Lexi, a fan (and personal) favorite, so getting to hear her opinions on the show was a pure joy. She is obviously against “delena” and pro “alexi,” the ship christened during the Q&A. Of course this is for a teased relationship between Lexi and Alaric (Matthew Davis). Yes, please!

To say that Boy Meets World impacted a generation would be an understatement. It was never more obvious then when Girl Meets World, the sequel/continuation/next chapter of BMW, was announced. Although creator Michael Jacobs is quick to note that Girl “is going to be its own show.”
The assembled cast was jubilant and passionate during the press conference at ATX Fest. Ben Savage (Cory Matthews) leaned over to joke with Matthew Lawrence (Jack Hunter) multiple times and said everyone “picked up exactly where they left off.” That was clear.
