Bates Motel: Casting related scoop and more on season 3 from TVLine's Michael Ausiello

Here's some scoop on Bates Motel from this week's (Posted on 9/30/14) Ask Ausiello column.

Question: My mother and I are huge Bates Motel fans. Got any scoop on Season 3? —Kornelia
Ausiello: Loads. For instance, even in the wake of Gil, Zane and Nick’s demises, the show won’t be short on nefarious baddies. Among the new crop of recurring connivers we’ll meet are middle-aged Chick Hogan, a tough guy who makes his living running a bike shop dealing in illegal firearms and seems bound to run afoul of neighbor Dylan and his dad/uncle (duncle?), Caleb; and Bob Paris, a fancypants old (read: former) pal of Romero’s whose business is shady enough that it comes with its own “fixer,” menacing Adrian.

Question: I wanted to know what spoilers you can tell me about Pretty Little Liars or Bates Motel... or both! —Megan
Ausiello: Both? You’ll take Bates Motel intel, and you’ll like it. And that intel is… it looks like Dylan’s getting a new love interest, since the show is searching for a sexpot to play Annika Johnson, whose chill attitude and rockin’ bod can’t disguise her guilty conscience. Question is: What is she guilty Of?
