Revolution (Austin)
July 12, 2013
While the cast of NBC's hit when-the-lights-went-out drama was excited to get back on the set to film season 2, there was one thing they weren't looking forward to: the triple-digit temperatures on their new location in Texas. ''It's just a big old lovefest down here, but it is hard work, as you might imagine, when you're in 104-, 105-degree heat - especially since most of our stuff is shot outdoors,'' says Billy Burke, who plays rebel leader Miles Matheson. Other than thirst, the most looming on-set hazard? Clumsiness. Burke and his costars - including Tracy Spiridakos (shown), who plays Miles' spirited niece/fellow rebel Charlie - have to constantly worry about getting injured, though not how you might imagine. ''It's a very physical show,'' explains Burke. ''And there's no way to do fight scenes without actually doing them. But you never get hurt doing the big stuff. It's always doing something stupid - like tripping on your shoelaces.'' -Ray Rahman

Jenner: Thanks for the Revolution scoop in Spoiler Chat! Might I trouble you for s'more?
Who has s'mores? Oh, you mean "some more" scoop. Don't get us excited with talk of chocolate goodness and then take it away. Jerk. Anyway, Revolution is looking to add a new ally to the team around episode seven, and this character is definitely around for the long haul. This new guy will be smooth-talking, likeable and an all-around good guy. He'll probably rub someone the wrong way, but you don't want to go to blows with him. The new dude will be in shape and ready and willing to throw a punch or two.

Sep 06, 2013 | Fall TV Preview: 29 New Faces on Returning Shows - EW
Revolution
Fresh Face: Jessica Collins
Last Big Role: House
Why She's Buzzy: Collins will play Cynthia, a love interest of one of the protagonists for a four-episode arc. According to executive producer Eric Kripke, ''Cynthia is a beautiful young woman of deep faith, whose winning humor and blazing intelligence capture the heart of one of Revolution's leading characters.'' After last season's character carnage, including the finale death of Nora Clayton, viewers are going to need a sobering love story in the series' blacked-out, militia-ruled world. Perhaps Cynthia will pair up with one of the Matheson men? After all, Collins did play a doctor on House, where she must know a thing or two about love as the best post-apocalyptic medicine. -Jennifer Arellano
