Oooh,it's a big day for WilSon on today's Days of Our Lives

News

Arrow has cast its CountVertigo. He'll be played by Dirty Sexy Money and Fringe alum Seth Gabel.

Yes, Joe Bidenfilmed a cameo on Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? I love it.

In a promising sign, Go On has promoted Sarah Baker, who plays "Cat Lady"Sonia, from recurring guest-star to series regular. At first glance, Sonia looked like a one-note character, but she's given the comedy some great stories, so I take this as a sign that the Go On team has, at least, a clue.

In case you thought the cancellation of Jersey Shore meant our national nightmare would soon be over. Not so fast. MTV is giving Vinny a "hybrid talk/reality series".

Joss Whedon's S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot added former star of The Fades, Iain De Caestecker. He'll play a tech guru.

ABC is developing the show of my dreams, a soap opera set on the set of a soap opera fighting cancellation as the genre struggles. It's produced by Josh Duhamel who probably will turn to his years on All My Children for inspriation. Any chance of casting Carol Kane as the soap's head writer?

On the other hand, ABC also thinks Disney's Big Thunder Mountain ride will make a great TV series. Okay.

The upcoming season of Newsroom will include this year's presidential race with Grace Gummerplaying a reporter embedded in the Romney campaign.

TBS is filming a pilot for an adaptation of the British panel show, Have I Got News for You with Sam Seder hosting. (Sherrod Small and Michael Ian Black also participated in the pilot.) I keep hoping the panel show will finally find some success in the U.S. and I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for this one.

Nip/Tuck stud Dylan Walsh has booked an arc on Revenge as a rival hedge fund manager to Conrad.

TV Land has ordered ten more episodes of The Exes, extending its second season. The network also ordered a second season of The Soul Man.

Add Kyle MacLachlan to the impressive list of guest-stars to join The Good Wife.

The Browncoats may not have had the influence to make Serenity a hit, but they were able to give the Science Channel its most-watched Sunday night thanks to the Firefly reunion special. In a few years, we're probably going to look back to this day when Science's schedule is made up of The Big Bang Theory repeats and nerd themed reality shows.

Anderson Live (syndicated) Check local listings
Andy Cohen joins Anderson today to talk with Adam Levine (Anderson is supposed to have a surprise prepared for Adam, I'm sure there's no way he can meet up with the surprises our imaginations are creating) and get hurricane preparedness tips from the cast of Doomsday Preppers. No, I am not making that up.

Days of Our Lives (NBC) Check local listings
It's finally here! Will and Sonny pass a landmark moment and have their first love scene — only thing, since no Salem residents are expected to interrupt the action, President Obama has scheduled a press conference that might pre-empt a big chunk of the event. (I mean, seriously, the President has gotten into the WilSon-interrurpting action?) We're going to liveblog what we can, so be sure to join us!

Nature (PBS) Check local listings
Paul Giamatti offers some narration for a look at the life of a wood duck family in "An Original DUCKumentary". I hope that title is only the beginning of the silliness. Maybe they can finally settle that duck season vs. wabbit season thing.

Nova (PBS) Check local listings
While other channels stepped up to cover NASA's Curiosity mission to Mars, I held my excitement back for Nova's take, since Nova is still the show that knows best how to tackle these topics with depth.

Arrow (CW) 8:00 PM ET
The arrival of The Royal Flush Gang gets Ollie to think about expanding his focus beyond the list (kind of like how Emily Thorne decided she needed to take a break from drawing Xes on the faces of the Greyson Global board) but, tragically, this Royal Flush Gang aren't as... er, flatteringly dressed as they are in the comics.

The Middle (ABC) 8:00 PM ET
It's Thanksgiving as far as ABC's Wednesday lune-up is concerned and that brings Brad back. For some reason, Sue's spending the holiday looking for a chicken mascot costume.

Supernatural (CW) 9:00 PM ET
Not only is Castiel back on earth, (looks like he's shuffling along with a lost look you never want to see on someone so powerful) in tonight's episode. Kevin and his mom (I love that Supernatural is the show that discovered that Lauren Tom can play characters who do't speak in a squeaky voice) turn to the Winchester brothers for help in dealing with a double-crossing witch.

Modern Family (ABC) 9:00 PM ET
As Cam and Mitch try to find a baby gift, Phil meets a guy who attended the same school (Matthew Broderick).

Suburgatory (ABC) 9:30 PM ET
Since Tessa decides to spend Thanksgiving with her mom's family, George needs something to do if he's going to avoid spending the holida alonye, pretending he's really interested in the ingredients of his cereal. Thus, Dallas fires her chef and asked George to cook.

Deals from the Darkside (Syfy) 10:00 PM ET
Syfy's newest reality series finds the overlap in the Venn Diagram of the paranormal researcher and the unique antique shows by following collectors who seek out items that have a rather macabre history. I think this is as close as you'll ever get to a reality TV version of Friday the 13th. I hope someone figures out a way to get Robey to visit.

American Horror Story (FX) 10:00 PM ET
The Anne Frank story wraps with — what else — the appearance of a Nazi hunter. I'll be listening closely to see if this Nazi hunter is named Sylvester for an unexpected Glee crossover.

Chelsea Lately (E!) 11:00 PM ET
A new book gives Chelsea to talk with Nate Berkus.

Watch What Happens Live (Bravo) 11:00 PM ET
Tonight, Gail Simmons and Peter Facinelli hope its not their turn to play "Plead the Fifth".

The Colbert Report (Comedy Central) 11:30 PM ET
Playwright Tony Kushner will be facing Stephen tonight.

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (NBC) 11:35 PM ET
As if tonight's late-night lineup weren't faboo enough (it's like everybody's celebrating WilSon's monumental moment), Kylie Minogue is scheduled for tonight's show.

What will you be watching tonight? Please share in the comments!
