Celebified: 'Beauty and the Beast' (singing)

Bridget Regan: Ohh, I know, it was so fun, wasn't it?

Celebified: Lord, the show is 'Epic'!

Bridget Regan: Yea, gorgeous, beautiful, wonderful experience, loved working on it, love Jay, love Kristin, it was so good...

A few weeks ago Austin Basis, J.T. in 'Beauty and the Beast', was asked on twitter if he had a favorite song from the show. His answer...

Also, the show's writers' assistant and 'BATB' comic writer, Sarah Hernandez, was asked the same question. Her answer...

Nice! Its one of my favorites too! I wonder if they know they share the same favorite song.

Anyway, what does this have to do with 'Smallville'? Well, Sarah mentioned it in her tweet...the song, "Wherever You Will Go" was also featured on 'Smallville'.

On 'Smallville" it was interpreted by 'The Calling' and on 'Beauty and the Beast', it is sung by Charlene Soraia. I LOVE both versions A LOT and what makes it extra special is that it was used during poignant scenes for the show's romantic leads...take a look!

'Beauty and the Beast' interview: Executive producer Jennifer Levin talks about Evan's betrayal and what's coming in 'Heart of Darkness' (warning: spoilers) - "...Speaking of revelations, Cat and Vincent also have to deal with another person -- Tess (Nina Lisandrello) -- knowing about their secret. While Tess isn't about to betray Cat anymore, there will be some tension remaining between the two friends. "Tess' friendship, Tess' loyalty is going to be tested," Levin said. But then she added,"I think it's going to get stronger. But obviously, there's going to be conflict along the way. [Tess] holds a lot of power now."

After "Heart of Darkness," there are only a few episodes remaining before the Season 1 finale. Levin confirms that this finale will be a major cliffhanger, and that fans can expect at least one beloved character to be in danger of losing his or her life before the season ends. Does a buildup like this mean that we can expect a seconds season for "Beauty and the Beast"? Nothing is certain yet, but Levin did express confidence that the show had a good shot at renewal..."

"'Beauty and the Beast' Producer on Surprising Twists and the 'Epic' Season Finale - "...The Hollywood Reporter: What should we expect in the return episode?

Jennifer Levin: After he's seen Vincent and Catherine making out on the fire escape in the last episode, Evan leads Muirfield to Vincent and when Catherine finds out, she's obviously upset but feels a bit of culpability because he proclaims his feelings for her. "I love you," basically. She realizes that maybe she led him on a little bit. We explore that. Through the episode, Evan realizes that maybe he might have been wrong about Vincent, yet he put things in place, so he has some big decisions to make. We get to go inside Muirfield and see what's going on..."

"Spoiler Chat: Scoop on Glee, Beauty and the Beast, Grey's Anatomy, New Girl and More! (warning: spoilers) - "Hilary: Not loving a Beauty and the Beast spoiler I read about Vincent getting jealous over Catherine spending time with Gabe. Should VinCat fans be worried?!

We don't think so, though the duo will be spending a lot of time together in the next few episodes. "There's totally a legitimate connection between them," executive producer Jennifer Levin says of Cat and Gabe. "There's a legitimate connection. It may not be romantic, but there's definitely a connection." P.S. Check back with us a bit later today for some "sexy" scoop on Vincent and Catherine!"

"Exclusive Interview: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST stars Kristin Kreuk and Jay Ryan - "...ASSIGNMENT X: Kristin, it's been awhile since we've seen you on TV, what is it about this how that brought you back to TV?

KRISTIN KREUK: The show is really interesting. The female character is really strong and complicated and I wanted to do that. When I met with the girls that created the show, Executive Producers Sherri (Cooper) and Jennifer (Levin) I just fell in love with them and I thought we would have a very good opportunity to create a female character that was really interesting.

AX: Were you a fan of the original show?

KREUK: Jay was.

JAY RYAN: I was a huge fan. When I was little and it played in New Zealand it was a very popular show. I actually watched it with my Nana as she watched after me after school. So when I got the call to audition I was excited to see how it progressed from the original series..."

Beauty and the Beast Boss Teases Identity, Jealousy... and Pregnancy?!? - "...TV Fanatic: Catherine and Vincent they seem to be in a pretty good place, which of course of makes me think they won't be in a good place for long.

JL: They are in a pretty good place. In the next episode, Cat and Vincent have to deal with the fact that Evan saw him leaping from the fire escape and alerts Muirfield to where Vincent is. So Cat has to go in and deal with Evan and Evan quickly realizes that he might have been wrong about Vincent and then he has do to something drastic in order to help the situation. So it all sort of spirals out of what Evan saw off of the last episode.

TVF: Is it safe to say that Evan is acting out of his emotions for Catherine or has it just become the right thing for him to do at some point?

JL: I think both. I mean, I think he really believes the vigilante is a bad guy and that he wants to clear the city of New York of him but, also, he wants to protect Cat. He doesn't want her to be with a dangerous person and obviously there is the jealousy since he is in love with her..."

Beauty and the Beast Boss Teases "Sexy" Vincent-Catherine Episode, "Epic" Season Finale - (warning: spoilerish) "..."One thing that they deal with is this issue with Gabe. Gabe is getting closer and closer to the fact that Cat knows the vigilante and what her connection is, so it just causes some conflict between the two of them," Levin teases. "Vincent starts to get jealous of Cat because she gets closer to Gabe, particularly when he reveals that he knows about Muirfield."

Another source of drama for VinCat will come in "Anniversary," in which "Cat starts to think that her mom might still be alive. That causes some tension with Vincent who just wanted to move on, move, past it, move forward and not be dragged into the past." While Levin won't say much about Cat's mother and the family secrets, she explains, "We did it mostly as a way for Cat and Gabe to come together. That was sort of the motivation behind it..."

Executive Producer Jennifer Levin Talks BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, Mapping Out the Story, DNA's Role in the Plot, Romance vs Action and Keeping Fans Happy (warning: spoilerish) - "...Were you surprised by some of the fan outrage over the Vincent-Alex storyline and relationship, or did you expect that?

LEVIN: Oh, we expected that. It meant to us, "Oh, my god, they care about Vincent and Catherine!" To us, it was a good thing. It felt like a real, grounded problem. It felt like this would really happen. It also indicated that people really cared about them being together. We totally understood it and almost predicted it, but we were happy about it. It was way better than them being like, "Wait, we'd rather have him be with Alex. She's cool!...Do you think fans will ultimately be happy with the remaining episodes, or will they be left with a bittersweet feeling?

LEVIN: They'll be psyched! We have an episode called "Date Night," where Vincent and Cat get to go on a date that's not in his apartment. So, we're trying to give fans as much as we can, given the limited number of episodes we have left, and I think they'll be really happy..."

'Beauty and the Beast' Season 1 finale: Kristin Kreuk says 'fans may not like' season's ending - "..."On 'Smallville,' we were pretty much sure every single year that it would be going again. It's a different environment when a crew doesn't feel as stable, but we have a really wonderful team. Nobody knows anything for sure, but everyone's staying positive. And I think we're proud of the work that we've done."

That includes the development of Catherine's relationship with the beastly yet hunky Vincent (Jay Ryan), her self-appointed protector with whom she's finally become romantically involved. "I don't think any of us, including the producers, thought we would go there this season," Kreuk allows. "I feel like them in a relationship is a little more interesting in some ways than them out of a relationship. Their love was clear almost from the start, so I like the struggles they go through in a relationship -- as opposed to the struggle of, 'Are we going to be in a relationship or not?'..."

'Beauty and the Beast' Executive Producer Reveals Shocking Finale Twist (warning: spoilerish)- "...But the strange thing is that Evan doesn't expose Vincent for malicious reasons. "He hopes to protect Cat," Levin says. "He obviously knows that Catherine is in love with this guy but he thinks that [Vincent] is a force of evil. And he also hopes to get Cat. He's jealous."

We wouldn't hold our breath for a relationship with Cat if we were Evan, however: Cat won't be feeling too warm towards her work friend after his actions lead to Muirfield successfully capturing Vincent. That's right, we said capture — not kill. Vincent's life won't be in danger, contrary to what he and Cat have always thought. "There's more that they can learn from him by studying him, since he survived out there for a long time," Levin explains. "We get to see inside Muirfield. We get to learn about what they're up to, and [we learn] that they're active... It's not just about cleaning up the past. So perhaps Vincent could help them in their active endeavors..."

"Beauty and the Beast Sneak Peek: Catherine, Tess and J.T. Have a Powwow in the Ladies' Locker Room—Watch Now! - "...Of having Tess and Evan (Max Brown) learn Vincent's secret, executive producer Jennifer Levin explains, "We didn't really have a plan for when, it just sort of happened. We had a plan that they would, but we didn't know when. So we always knew that we wanted Tess to find out; we wanted Cat to have a confidant. We also love Tess' energy and thought she would be fun to have in the mix. Evan, it feels like he was on this trail 'cause he's a smart guy, so it felt like eventually he would catch on, it's just how it laid out we didn't plan..."

(Oh, in case you haven't seen it, here is my 'WonderCon' coverage of the 'BATB' panel *shameless plug*)

After a long three week hiatus, a new episode of 'Beauty and the Beast' airs tomorrow. Yay! But before the long awaited episode titled 'Heart of Darkness' airs, several online sources are releasing juicy 'inside scoop' on what's in store for the show's remaining five episodes.

Warning: Do not continue reading if you don't wish to be spoiled...

From eonline

"Daisy: I know you just spoke to Beauty and the Beast's executive producer, so I want some scoop!

All right, all right! J.T. and Vincent are getting a new bachelor pad! "It took us a long time to find it, we spent a lot of time," Jennifer Levin teases of the duo's new digs. "It's not a warehouse, it's not a tunnel. We wanted a place that's inviting, that Cat would want to be in. It's kind of awesome." So yes, Cat will be spending a lot of time there."

"Beauty and the Beast: A Curious Cat, A Hidden Agenda and More Season-Ending Qs Answered - "...WHAT FAMILY SECRETS WILL SHOCK CAT? | Although an upcoming episode synopsis reveals that Catherine will come to suspect that her famously murdered mother is actually alive, that might — might — be a red herring of sorts. "Cat's family issues aren't what you think they are," Levin cryptically shares. "They're not what she thinks they are."Playing with Fire Elsewhere on the family front, we're going to venture that Heather might not want to buy any green bananas. "I can say, I think, that someone's life is put in danger," Levin warns. "Someone that we really care about...

IS THERE NO MORE TIME FOR SEXYTIMES? | (After all, as seen above, there seems to be a lot of drama ahead.) "Oh my God, I hope not!" Levin answers. "No, almost all of the episodes" coming up, she says, have moments to please VinCat fans. Asked to single one out, she thinks for a moment before saying that Season 1′s penultimate hour, "Date Night" (airing May 9), "is a special one that comes to mind..."

Beauty and the Beast: There's a Possibility Vincent Can Be Cured -- But Does He Want to Be? - "...What would you say is Cat and Vincent's biggest concern as a couple heading into the final episodes?

Levin: There ends up being a possibility that Vincent can be cured, and I think that their biggest struggle is what's normal for them, which might be him being a beast and the good aspects of that and the aspects they've come to depend on. So Vincent's DNA becomes more of a source of conflict. When we started, Vincent had spent 10 years in hiding and he had just given up hope. Now Cat is back in his life and maybe she's triggered hope in his life, but where does that lead?

Will we get to see happy times for them too?

Levin: We have an episode called "Date Night," where they get to leave and do something romantic and fun..."
