Spoilers from Ausiello
Question: What are the chances of Tina Majorino returning to Bones next season? She was the best part of final sniper episode! -Hillary
Ausiello: I think the chances are very good. Awesome, in fact. “We love Tina,” gushes executive producer Stephen Nathan, “and would love to have her back next year.”
Question: With Bones going on a three-month mid-season break to accommodate Emily Deschanel’s maternity leave, how many original episodes does that leave us with in Season 7? -Rex
Ausiello: If I were a betting man - not an addict, just a fan of the casual bet every now and then - I’d say more than 13 but less than 18. And just so we’re clear I do not have a gambling problem.
Question: Any news on who’s replacing Saffron Burrows on The Finder? -Missy
Ausiello: The role hasn’t been cast, but I can tell you producers are looking for someone considerably younger than Burrows. We’re talking half her age. According to the latest intel, the new character - Willa - will be around 17. Much like Burrows’ alter ego, Willa has a criminal background and some hidden skills that Walter and Leo will put to good use. (Mackenzie Rosman, call your agent!)
