Question: This is the first time I’m writing to you and I love your work. You provide scoops on all my favorite shows. But you have not been covering Jane the Virgin. Any scoop on the show would be awesome. —Huma
Ausiello: Mat Vairo (The Returned, Revolution) has been cast as Rafael’s half-brother Derek, a devilish and mysterious rich kid who dropped out of Pepperdine so he could travel and spend money. “He’s definitely going to complicate Rafael’s life, even though Rafael’s somebody who really does search and yearn for this sense of family,” says EP Jennie Urman of Derek, who makes his debut on Monday, March 7. “So he’s definitely going to be interested in figuring out if he can have a relationship with his brother.”

Revolution: Scoop on the search for Monroe's son from TVGuide's Adam Bryant and Natalie Abrams

Here's some scoop on Revolution from TVGuide's Adam Bryant and Natalie Abrams' Mega Buzz column, which was posted on 1/7/14.

Are we going to meet Monroe's son on Revolution soon? — Trina
Yes, but first they need to save Miles' life. Beware! The primitive course of treatment they employ will have you reaching for the barf bags. Once you recover, you'll see Sebastian's relentless pursuit of his son Connor (Mat Vairo), which will lead him south of the border. In a nifty reversal of fortune, Mexico is actually quite prosperous... for one person in particular. Let's just say that the manzana doesn't fall far from the arbol.

Revolution: Scoop on Monroe's son and more from Entertainment Weekly's Sandra Gonzalez

Here's some scoop on Revolution from Entertainment Weekly's Sandra Gonzalez's The Spoiler Room column, which was posted on 12/6/13.

‘REVOLUTION’ BOSS TEASES MONROE’S SON

An exciting mid-season finale on Revolution is going to lead into a second half that will see Monroe on daddy duty! As you may have heard, Mat Vairo is set to play his son, named Connor, in a recurring role when the show returns Jan. 8.

“Trusting that guy into the position of father has brought out some really unexpected and interesting colors in the character,” teases executive producer Eric Kripke.

And not long after we meet Conner, he adds, he will find himself among the group of people hoping to bring down the season’s big bad. “The second half of the season is part of our group marshaling their forces and pulling everyone together — that includes Monroe’s son and Neville — and bringing everyone together against the bad guys,” he says. “Meanwhile, the bad guys’ plan becomes terrifyingly clear as well as the audience getting to know really the big bad of the season, which is the president of the ‘United States’ — in quotes. All the chess pieces are moving into position for a final confrontation.”

Bonus scoop: Look out for the addition of a female warlord named Duncan (played by Katie Aselton), who, Kripke teases, “has a war clan similar to Titus, except she’s not completely bird-sh– crazy.” “Our heroes — though they were battling war clans at the beginning of the season — find themselves in the interesting and uncomfortable position of allying themselves with a war clan in the second half of the season in order to defeat the patriots.” Hit the casting couch in the comments!
