After the strike does end, how long will it take for new episodes to be written and how long before they air?

We have a few scripts that aren't far from being ready to shoot. Best case scenario, we could be ready to resume shooting two weeks after we return to work.

Will there be any more insight into Dr. Addy's (Eric Millegan) personal life? Some fans have commented that they feel that it kind of left off in "The Boy in the Tree" with slight details about Naomi.

We've talked about all sorts of scenarios for all our characters' personal lives, but ultimately, the final decisions lay with the show's creator and my boss Hart Hanson. With Brennan and Booth (Emily Deschanel & David Boreanaz) commanding so much storytelling "space" if you will, and now with the relationship between Hodgins and Angela (TJ Thyne & Michaela Conlin) taking off, not to mention Cam's rise to prominence, we've had limited opportunities to dig into Zack's personal life. So far.

Fans have commented that they love the Parker and Booth scenes!! Are there going to see more of Booth's family and their background shown in the future?

We had some fun with Booth and Parker in the Christmas episode that aired before the strike. The challenge is to not "hit the same bell" too often. We've covered Booth's strained relationship to his ex and his feelings about sharing custody of Parker. Until we can find new ground to cover, which we undoubtedly will at some point, we'll probably maintain our focus on Booth's relationship to Brennan and out other characters.


The writers have masterfully been able to have the Booth and Bones relationship grow little by little. At one point they will have to put them together. I believe Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz have a truly unique chemistry that can be successful. They are in a league of their own. Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers of Hart to Hart are a close second...and they portrayed a married couple! I wish they would stop comparing Bones to Moonlighting. Why do you fear the Moonlighting curse?

The Moonlighting curse isn't a curse at all. The fact is with Bruce hooked up with Cybil, viewers found their relationship less interesting. Ratings went down. The unburst bubble, if you will, goes further with audiences than you think.
