Blind Vice! Will Harriet Talons Ever Work Again?
You certainly all remember Harriet Talons, right? Our Blind Vice maven was just inducted into monikered infamy and is already back for another round of d-r-a-m-a. Would you expect anything less from someone wanted killed off her own show?
Well, apparently, horrible Harriet isn't as confident in her job security as we think she should be, because the boob-tube broad has been secretly trying to book another gig...ya know, just in case!
Apparently Harriet is supremely nervous about her future—or so say people within her camp.
While we already told you Ms. Talons probably won't be canned from her juicy hit series anytime soon (or ever), she has caught whiff of the hostility directed her way and is worried that sooner or later her attitude may lead to her demise.
Hey, we're just shocked she had enough self-awareness to realize everyone thought her stuff actually did stink.
But instead of, we don't know, simply being nicer to her costars and hard-working crew, or being less of a diva at the office (that would make far too much sense), H.T. has been aggressively pushing her agents to find other work.
That way she'll stay one step ahead of any potential firing. We told you she was a crafty devil, didn't we?
Here's the thing: She can't find any jobs!
You might think producers would be eager beavers to book the seemingly so talented Harriet for their gig, but her pushy reputation precedes her. And no one wants to have Harriet's talons unleashed on their set, heaven forbid!
But really, can you blame them?!
AND IT AIN'T: Naya Rivera, Eva Longoria, Kristin Bauer

So Ted just admitted one of the GCB gals has a vice, and hinted that the GCB actress' vicey behavior is the opposite of whatever it is that she does onscreen. I don't watch that show, but I would have to guess that Kristen Chenoweth would be the top suspect for Harriet Talons if it were someone from GCB.
On the other hand, I like Dana Delaney for this too, if that show she is on weren't in trouble (I believe it is low in the ratings?. She has known substance abuse issues and have heard that she is very difficult on sets.
Leslie Bibb is on GCB, she is the "good girl". Cheno is the "good Christian" up front, but conniving behind the scenes. Annie Potts is also on GCB. Do any of them have reps for being difficult?
It's Sarah Michelle Gellar. The clues fit her and Ringer is very likely to be canceled.
I have no idea myself, but this show sounds more established and popular than some of those unless Ted's exaggerating again.
"killed off her own show," She's THE main star.
"popular boob tube babe," most people probably know who she is.
"Juicy hit series," indicates the show is not struggling for ratings or still searching for an audience.
"One of those hit series that's always being talked about," its' probably been around for longer than two months.
I think the always been talked about part refers to the cw slogen and how the network is all over their shows being sooo popular and hot.
i think it's someone on an abc show based on the AIAs.
kristin bauer--OUAT & DH
eva longoria--DH
emily van camp-- revenge
ellen pompeo--grey's
even naya rivera was on 8 simple rules, an old abc show.
I'm confused as to why everyone is assuming Ted's response in the Weekend Mail on 4/14 is about Harriet Talons? I did not see anything that made me think he had to be talking about that moniker. Besides, the lead-in for this response (usually a clue) is "Dubious Dallas", and later he answers a question about Debbie Doobie being on the small screen. Could Debbie be on GCB?
I still like Jennifer Morrison for HT and she definitely fits the ABC mold lns212 is putting together. OUAT is a hit show, and as she's the driving force behind it, JM is pretty secure...for now.
Not sure if she's difficult but how about Kate Walsh? She was married when her show private practice got the spin-off to some exec at ABC. (They were only married a year & the split was a bit sketchy to me). They have killed a few people off on the show. I know several people have pointed out the "office" references & since its a private practice the docs are in an office setting vs hospital.
Don't forget the clue from last time about another cast member whose life "hangs in the blanace." I don't watch "Private Practice" or "Once Upon a Time" but is there a character in either of those who has been sick/injured/dying?
No one guessed Michelle Trachtenberg?
I think it's her
Is Michelle Trachtenberg on something other than Gossip Girl? She may actually BE gossip girl, but that doesn't mean she can't get kicked off the show. I stopped watching GG ages ago, but it seemed like she was in and out then.
I strongly agree that the clues point to an ABC show. Body of Proof, The Middle, OUAT, and Private Practice are all good guesses.
I must have missed it when Ted said someone on GCB has a blind. Can someone post a link?
Is SMG still married? Maybe that's why her hot next door neighbor refuses to date her. See previous Harriet blind.
@Dr. Duck: It was in the Weekend Mail.
Dear Ted:
You recently told us that there is one Vice-loving star on the show GCB. I am wondering what category the Vice falls into? Drug, drinking, sex or diva 'tude (or a combo of these)? Give us some hints please! Love ya!
—MM
Dear Dubious Dallas:
Let's just say, life imitates art…though the actress (hint #1) doing the Vicing off set isn't necessarily doing that same naughty deed on screen (hint #2). Start mixing and matching, my crafty little belle.
I agree with Kim, I don't think that links GCB to HT at all, maybe, but definitely not a slam dunk
Jennifer Morrison is my top guess too. From the AIA's:
Eva Longoria & JM were nominated for the same award in TV Guide's 2007 Sexy Issue.
Kristin Bauer guest starred on Once Upon A Time for 2 episodes.
Naya Rivera were both child actresses/models in the 90's but becoming well-known now.
The last one is a bit of a stretch but that's all I got.
All the AiA are/were on ABC dramas
My idea is Snow White(ginnifer Goodwin). Don't know anything about her and others have suggested her, but the mention of 'she won't bite it anytime soon' makes me think of her nemesis the evil queen and poisonous apples. She plays a sweet schoolteacher, totally opposite character than Harriet. Whole show revolves around feud between her and the evil queen.The life hanging in the balance is Kathryn. Just a guess. Actually hope it's not her. She's not the main character, but a major one since she's Emma Swan's mom. Yeah so I obviously watch the show. I think it's on abc. First time poster, sometime lurker.
It's January Jones!!!! Read it with her in mind and there's no doubt!
@Unknown: January Jones has been notted.
Definitely, Maggie Q.
Lea Michele anyone?
What about Maggie Smith from Downton Abbey?
So the show has been on for more than 2 years. And remember people it is a network how (NBC,CBS,ABC,FOX) not cable. Plus its someone nommed or won a golden globe. Has me thinking its more and more someone from Gray's or Private Practice.
network SHOW not how - sorry
Michelle is right. Ted said today the show has been on for more than 2 seasons, which means Jennifer Morrison and fellow OUAT ladies are OUT.
Dear Ted:
Smooches from my calico, Sadie Belle. You said that Harriet Talons was on a show that fostered a lot of water cooler talk. My question is if her show is relatively new (less than 2 seasons), or if it's a long-running affair. And do we ever actually see Harriet sitting at a desk on TV?
—Kaci
Dear Sink Your Teeth In:
Harriet and her series are well established—so to answer your question specifically, yes, there are more than two seasons. The first season was definitely the best though, at least in my humble opinion—though surely you'd agree. As for your second question, very rarely…but she has before, yes.
Not sure why but I think it is an abc show b/c of the AIAs I could be totally off, here are the ABC dramas more than 2 years old:
Grey's Anatomy (2005–present)
Private Practice (2007–present)
Castle (2009–present)
Since Desperate Housewives is no more. Never thought of Castle, I don't watch it but isn't one of the leads a female, and since its a cop show I would bet there are characters who's lives are in the balance???
Yay Wikipedia - here is the list of Dramas that are over 2 yrs old on network, I ** those who I know has female leads who may fit:
ABC:
**Grey's Anatomy (2005–present)
**Private Practice (2007–present)
**Castle (2009–present)
NBC:
**Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999–present)
Parenthood (2010–present)NOT YET RENEWED
CBS:
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2000–present
NCIS (2003–present)
CSI: NY (2004–present)
Criminal Minds (2005–present)
**The Mentalist (2008–present)
NCIS: Los Angeles (2009–present)
**The Good Wife (2009–present)
FOX:
**Bones (September 13, 2005–present)
Fringe (September 9, 2008–present)NOT YET RENEWED
Plus the consider Glee to be a Drama - hmm, but he said Harriett didn't know chiquita so prob not on Glee
Not sure is CW is considered network, but just in case:
Supernatural (2006–present)
**Gossip Girl (2007–present)
**90210 (2008–present)
The Vampire Diaries (2009–present) - Nina already confirmed vice, only indispensible female really
Sandra Oh won a golden globe for best supporting actress on grey's. I haven't watched the show in years (and would agree with Ted-1st season was the best!) but someone's life was always in the balance. No one is safe for sure either...

what about sofia vergara? abc, longer than 2 years...she and madeline stowe were both nominated this year at the golden globes...
Ted said the first season was the best and Sandra Oh won a Golden Gnobe for the first season of Greys.
And Sandra OH played Porn Scarlett on Six Feet Under. Epi 5, first season of SFU
Ellen Pompeo on Greys Anatomy. She's the title character, but Meredith sucks and no one would miss her if she was off the show.
Ellen was an AIA on the first blind
I may have missed something (it's been known to happen!), but why are were only guessing dramas?
I'm going with Stana Katic on Castle. I remember early in the show, Nathan Fillion had to give her a stern talkin' about being nasty to EVERYONE (crew/fans.) He's very popular b/c of how gracious he is to everyone and lots of people watch to see him & Firefly throwbacks.
Someone dies every week, they work in a police station (office) and she's the muse and main co-star. Also on ABC and has been on air a few seasons.
Oh and she was nominated/won a few awards on Castle (TV Guide, Shorty Award, won PRISM award and others I think.)
I think you're on to something, Robot. I noticed a lot of uses of the word "book" in this post, which on Castle, Stana's character inspired a character in Castle's book.
@onehotrobot Yeah but the previous blind about HT says that another character's life hangs in the balance on the show, and nobody's even close to dying on that show.
And Ted said that it was someone who has been nominated or won a Golden Globe.
So it doesn't really fit...
I thought he just said it was someone who has been to the Globes (I could definitely be wrong)
someone from glee? quinn's life was hanging in the balance
You know, I just realized that "another character's life" bit could be that they may not come back. Like, not dead but moving away from the story line. Isn't the teen wanting to go away to college? That's been a recurring theme on Castle. Haven't watched in a while but it was a huge part of her character.
I'm also not seeing the Golden Globes nom/win except with relation to the original AIAs connection. Did I miss something?
There was a BB a while back where someone asked something about awards and Ted said that Harriet was a "Golden Globes Babe" which I take to just mean she has been to the Globes, not necessarily a nominee/winner.
I dunno, everyone has BEEN to the Globes, so why would he even bother mentioning that if it's not even a real clue LOL :)
Today's Morning Mail points to Grey's. And I found this about Sandra Oh. I'd be sorry if it were Sandra.. http://www.pinkylovejoy.com/2010/03/open-letter-to-sandra-oh.html
Also, Lainey has written a couple of times about Sandra being not so pleasant. http://laineygossip.com/Articles/Celebrity/20344/Details/10952/Sandra-Oh-Emmy-awards-2008
Whoa - never thought of Sandra Oh like that. If so, Greys had a double dose of mean; first w/Katherine Heigl and now her. Which character is actually in jeopardy there now?
Yeah, it does kinda point to Grey's. Ted wrote that Harriet and Katherine Heigl have "probably rubbed elbows a time or two".
Can't see it being Stana Katic. I follow a lot of Castle cast & crew on Twitter and they only have lovely things to say about her. Only last week she bought a special lunch for the crew. Molly Quinn who play's Castle's daughter alos tweeted a picture of some flowers that Stana had bought everyone. There's no way she's hated by the whole crew and cast per Ted's blind item. She may have been a bit green when the show first started but I don't believe that Blind Item from a couple a years ago about Nathan dressing her down infront of everyone. Can't see him using that kind of language. No way she'd still be in the job if she were that bad. The show's call Castle not Beckett so she'd have been easily replaced.
FOr those asking go back and look at the preivious blinds comments with the BBs from Ted, he's given a lot of clues on this one. He said it was Network Drama. And yes the rubbing elbows and having no curves at all in Ted's BB today screamed Sandra Oh to me. although suprising if she can't find something b/c she done movies too and is considered very talented
What character on Grey's life is hanging in the balance? I don't watch the show anymore.
Ted's responses in the BB made me think this is Lea Michele... The first season of Glee is considered (by some) the best, she has a reputation for being a diva, all she has lined up according to IMDB is voiceover work, and most importantly, the week this blind was written Quinn (Dianna Agron)'s life was hanging in the balance. She already had a BV that was revealed so she could in fact have another new moniker.
I think at one point Ted said Harriet and Chiquita were not friends or in the same circle. Since Chiquita is strongly believed to be Naya, I don't think Harriet is Lea.
I don't think it's that chick from Castle either,I just checked out her Twitter, she won't shut up about how great the crew is.
If this turns out to be Sandra Oh I'm gonna be bummed, she's so good on Grey's. :(
Ted said Harriet is on a drama and I'm pretty sure Glee doesn't fall in that category. For all of the other reasons above (rubbed elbows with Katherine Heigl, network drama, ABC AIAs, etc.), I think it has to be Sandra Oh.
First AIAs Ellen Pompeo, Emily VanCamp, Jessica Lange.
Ellen Pompeo and Sandra Oh are costars.
Emily VanCamp and Sandra Oh are from Ontario.
Jessica Lange and Sandra Oh ? I haven't found a link .
In the first BI Ted said "Sorry, crew folk," that makes me think of the movie "Sorry, Haters". Sandra OH played a character in .
Sandra Oh was in SFU.
I'm new here but I think I know who it is! Shenae Grimes from 90210! She was at the Golden Globes, a few of her co-stars lives have been in danger this past season. She's the main character and there have been major reports that the cast hates her.

Also Ted said Harriet doesn't have any curves, and Shenae Grimes has been in the tabloids for being too skinny.
I thought Shenae Grimes was already a BV. Otherwise, she would fit. Check the list.
Sandra Oh does fit. Esp after the KHeigl comment.
I still think it's Felicity Huffman. She and William H. Macy just got stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, plus they kill people off all the time on Desperate Housewives.
It can't be Felicity or anyone from DHW - they're jobs aren't secure, the show is ending, this is the last season, although Ted did say one of the female stars has a bv from this year.
I agree with Michelle. Besides, Felicity was always known as the nice one on Desperate Housewives. She tended to step away when the other ones were fighting.
Ted's latest thing about Harriet Talons suggests that she had another BV that was already revealed. That suggests to me that it's either Lea Michele or Teri Hatcher... but since Desperate Housewives is ending, I think it's got to be Princess Lea.
"Dear Ted:
Has Harriet Talons been involved in any other Vices?
—Ali
Dear And How!
But a Vice by any other name would have been…revealed."
Lea Michele!
Holy cow!!! I wanted to write Ted and ask if Poisonous Puss is back to her old ways, and then this!!
Nice catch Blurry!
Has Ted notted Lea Michelle??? I can't help but to think this is her especially since he already revealed her previous moniker and she's over due for.a new one!

Maybe it was Ted twisting things when he said that she didnt hang with chiquita, or maybe that they are not close or dont even get on...p
Also didnt Lea lose a role in Les Miserables? wonder if that was due to her reputation
"supremely" and "hanging in the balance"... Sounds like a show centering in the courts
Sounds like Lea Michele, except have you noticed that Dianna Agron has all but disappeared from Glee? There was a rumor a while back (somewhere) that Ryan Murphy did not exactly like her since she tried to distance herself from that awful Terry RIchardson shoot. She did one movie and disappeared from film. I'm sure she'd love to get out of dodge.
I instantly thought Sofia Vergara when I read this...
She's on a popular show that's always talked about, Modern Family, which is on ABC. (the "d-r-a-m-a" being spelled out alphabetically, as in the "alphabet network", being the clue for me here)
And she was the break out star from that show too so I would assume people would be mad if she "left" the show..
I could see her trying to pursue other projects since her fame has now sky-rocketed but I find it strange she has yet to book any bigger gigs yet. Maybe she's hiding a diva 'tude?
I'm going to take a stab at this and say Mariska Hargitay.
She's won a Golden Globe, is the main star of SVU, and it would relate to the court references. Since SVU is in its 13th season, it's well beyond established.
"Dear Ted:
Would you consider Sally Pearlsmyth and Harriet Talons friends?
—Tiffany
Dear Pearls Before Swine:
Not at all."
This is NOT Mariska Hargitay. PEople, read the above. Ted says this is someone who has had a REVEALED BV before.
Top suspect = Lea Michele
As said by Ted: the show is a network DRAMA, HT doesn't run in the same TV circles as Chiquita (Naya Rivera) and isn't friends at all with Sally Pearlsmyth (Dianna Agron).
NOT Lea Michele.
I always thought Lea and Dianna were BFFs they lived together at somepoint
Although desperate housewives is finished when this was written a big character was going to be killed off mid season. Teri Hatcher fits everything about this, she was revealed as death mint mertyl and has no curves, it could be Ted deliberately misleading by saying about the job security as she could also be killed off before the series finishes...but its unlikely...
I don'tthink its fair to say Lea Michele is top suspect, or Chiquita and Sally are wrong top suspects b/c she knows and is friends with both. PLus she's dating CM so you can't say eveyone in the cast hates her
@valhalley, Ted has said in recent bitch backs that Lea and Dianna are no longer friends. They're apparently not even on speaking terms anymore. He's also said that Lea and Naya are not friends. It is possible to be on the same tv show as someone and travel in different circles socially.
@Savannah, here's exactly what he said:
Dear Ted:
I have an obvious hunch of who Harriet Talons may be. How about this, is she friends with diva Chiquita?
—Elyse
Dear Diva BFFs:
Unfortunately no, the two don't run in the same TV circle. But, that would be a match made in bitchy heaven.
It's TV circle, which doesn't mean social circle at all. It means drama/comedy/network/etc.
Also, I've been checking his bitch-backs and he's been dismissing the rumours that there's bad blood between Lea and Dianna, he just said they're not as close anymore and simply grew apart, but are still friends. Just check the tags and these are all posts from April.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2141549/Desperate-Housewives-feud-finally-open-Teri-Hatchers-left-off-crews-farewell-gift-cast.html
It's Teri Hatcher. She fits so perfectly, actually. And the part from the first blind about being neighbors with a heartthrob and trying to date him....I'm pretty sure she is neighbors with George Clooney and there were brief dating rumors at one point that he denied.
Also Harriet Talons HT - TH Teri Hatcher
It may be outside the show but there is court drama going on
Why is Lea Michele the top suspect? Teri Hatcher fits waaay better.
I think there's no way this could be Lea, based on what valhalley said (that Ted has never said Lea and Dianna are not friends at all anymore)
As I said earlier Teri Hatcher was revealed as Death Mint Mertyl, so she is perfect for this...the time it was written there was all the hype about a main character being killed off in Desperate Housewives, if they were to kill other characters towards the end of the series it may be her (but unlikely)...
Today Ted said that HT is a GG winner, which Lea Michelle is NOT. That said, I have no clue.
Ha can we please take Lea Michele off as top suspect, don't know why she was ever put really, she hasn't been a top suspect at all - Ted finally sealed that today - she hasn't won a golden globe - Also the reason it can't be Teri Hatcher is b/c her show is done, she doesn't have a secure job like Ted said. ITs Gotta be Sandra Oh
Megley, Teri Hatcher is a Golden Globe winner for Desperate Housewives.
Teri Hatcher no longer has a job, the blind says the show is still going strong - DH is over, can't be her
I just it's kind of hilarious that Lea Michele is the top suspect and wasn't mentioned half as much as Teri Hatcher, Sandra Oh, etc. in the comments.
And it's been proven with the GG win that it's not her, so... I also vote for taking her name off.
Just saw one of the E! Stories is that a major character is supposed to die in the finale of Grey's.... So between the katherine Heigl clue and the fact that the major players in grey's (including sandra oh) renewed their contracts for 2 years, I wouldn't count other guesses out yet.
While I agree that Ted makes it sound like it is someone that has been revealed, he never actually says that. It sounds like people were getting too close and he was just trying to throw people off track by not answering the question to me.
"Dear Ted:
Kristin Dos Santos is TV Girl, true, but you are Gossip Man. So, Chyler Leigh gets killed off Grey's. The Internet explodes with hate. Shonda defends herself by thinly
alleging Chyler wanted off the show. If so: Did Chyler want more lines? Does she work with a Harriet Talons-ish stars who also want more lines (in their new
contracts)? What's the E! True Hollywood Story behind the demise of Lexie Grey?
—Yep, It's Me, Sunflower
Dear Train Plane Wreck:
Harriet Talons on the Grey's set? Hardly (though not a horrible guess). As for how much the behind-the-scenes drama played into the small-screen death, it's nothing
like the Isaiah Washington scandal of yesteryear. Sometimes people need to bite the dust to keep ratings alive, right?"
I wasn't sold on Teri Hatcher, as DH was on its way out to begin with. I'm going with Kyra Sedgwick (for now) because drama is spelled out; TNT's slogan is We Know Drama.
"
Dear Ted:
Harriet Talons—would her character be more likely to be a doctor, have dated one in a prior season, or both be a doctor and date them? On another note, I think I've
figured out what secret was in the new neighbor of Wisteria Lane's box. Kisses!
—Desperately Hoping You'll Answer
Dear What the Doctor Ordered:
No, no and no. She's done some hospital scenes on her show, though, if that helps?
Dear Ted:
Kate Walsh has to be Harriet Talons! Tell me I'm right, Ted!
—A
Dear Talons in Private:
With all the latest Private Practice drama, it does seem like a rather good fit. But no, Harriet Talons is not Kate Walsh. Not a bad guess though at all—you're on the right track.
Dear Ted:
Please tell me Harriet Talons isn't Amy Brenneman. Brenneman seems like such a smart, funny, and cool woman, and I really hope she's not Harriet. But your recent reply about the Kate Walsh guess has me wondering. My rescue bunny and I say thanks. :)
—O
Dear Private B.V.:
You're in luck, O, Amy Brenneman is not Harriet Talons. Keep the guesses coming, though. You're getting warmer."
so Nicolette Sheridan was the victim? who will hire her??? her show's going down the drain...i'm surprised it's still on, should've been cancelled a long time ago!
