on the woman who plays Alex Bridet Regan on her twitter page someone ask her how many episodes she'll be in and she replied 4. So I wonder how they will have her in four episodes if Vincent is going to tell her to move on and that he loves cat 4??Oh i hate her i just can't accept her.  I think Vincent has to make a choise between Cat who accept him and knows about the beast thing and the ex who had feelings in the past but she doesn't know anything about what happen to him now.Maybe his feeling wake up again for Alex but this would not be the same again.And if Alex learn that he is becoming a beast would run away by herself. |

The relationship between VinCat took some great steps forward in the last episode, I would hate to see it ruined by the Ex showing up. Before 1.09, I was certain we would get a cute moment or two in the episode....but we got MORE than that IMO. There was some real progress in the building of their bond despite the lack of a kiss. The one thing that bugs me is that Catherine missed the opportunity to tell Vincent her feelings....it looks like it is somehow addressed in the next episode...but where does that leave the Ex?
Can we really believe after everything that happened in the latest episode, Vincent will suddenly go cold on Catherine and want to hook up with his Ex? Before 1.09, I could totally see that happening..but I'm not so sure now. Then again, this midseason finale was shot as a 2 parter..so anything goes!!! I guess in TV land anything is possible, but I'm also curious how they play this out. I'm guessing some old feelings are rekindled when Vincent sees his Ex. He will probably tell Catherine that, and Catherine will back off and give him some space to sort out his feelings. There also is the possibility that with the Ex back in his life, he realizes how much he put his Ex through and decides to tell Catherine he is afraid of doing the same to her and they decide it would be best if they cool off on the relationship for a bit.
I still think a majority of the Ex's screen time with Vincent will be in flashback form. I'm already dreading the fact that we'll probably see Vincent kiss his Ex before Catherine. One thing that I find interesting is that on twitter, Bridget seemed to indicate she would be shooting some scenes with Kristin. So Catherine/Ex will be getting some screen time together...can't wait to see how that turns out!! I do want to see jealous Catherine..I just hope she doesn't have to witness some intimate moment between Vincent/Ex that will break my shipper heart!!

On twitter photos of director Fred Gerber we see a little "bridge" (i don't know how to name it)in a lake and under the photo they are saying "Not a bad place to start shooting" and they have Jay's ,Kristin's and Bridget's name below.I would like to see a scene with all together it would be very interesting! |

My guess either Alex will tell cat to stay from Vincent to them a chance to work things out or be helping cat with a case for Vincent

Hopefully no one minds me posting my expression of enthusiasm for seeing Bridget on my TV screen again. She really is a great actress, and I have no doubt that she will do the character of 'Alex' justice. Now I'm not going to say I'm 'jumping up and down' excited that Alex is the ex. I mean it's gonna keep Vincent and Catherine apart for a bit and that is probably going to throw a rock in Vincat for a bit, so I'm not excited about that. But at the same time, if there's anything I've learned from being a Bones and Castle fan it's this: all the 'distractions', are just that. Distractions. Temporary distractions that add dimension to the story, and add that tension of 'will they' 'won't they' find each other, but ultimately these distractions are not going to put a permanent stop to the end game. Josh was in the way of Caskett a couple seasons ago....and Hannah was in the way of B&B a couple seasons ago. But each of those couples...are now together and my shipper heart is at ease. So I am not extremely worried about the ex, after all she's only going to be there for 4 episodes. The only thing I'm slightly worried about is a VicentxAlex kiss before a Vincat one....  . That is kind of making my shipper heart freak...it would definitely add a lot of that tension, but might cause me to throw something at my tv at the same time. LOL! It's realizations like that where I like to remind myself that Bridget has a lot of fans (myself included), at the very least 32K of them on Twitter. And her fans tuning in to see her character may help ratings, which would then be good for looking ahead to season 2, and then we also may get some new permanent fans. Either way, I just really like her. She was great in the Legend of the Seeker and I enjoy reading her tweets. So personally, I am excited to see Bridget, and I hope her 4 episode arc attracts viewers and helps with ratings. |

I do like how you describe her being a distraction and not permenant, its a nice way of explaining it. I know I'll also be alittle upset if Vincent and Alex kiss first but to to it'll only make Vincat kiss sweet because that means Vincent sent Alex away and know he's meant to be with Cat. Also what if Alex kisses Vincent which he did not to happen and tells Alex to move on and he only loves Cat and Cat sees this kiss and assumes that means they back together and stays away until Vincent sees her and explains the truth. |

I'm glad I made sense in my explination. LOL!
I kind of like that point you made though. Cat sees them kiss, backs off, and then Vincent goes to her, and some conversation of Alex being the past would ensue. Would be a very interesting route. Kind of like it actually....

I hope thats the way the writers go with it because it would be a great way to tell it for several reasons
1 vincent NEVER wants/wanted to be with his ex, that his feels for Cat are growing stronger
2 it also would explain the distance between Vincent and Cat see backs away because she is hurt by seeing that and doesn't want to get even more hurt
3 will explain how his ex will exit their lives and how she will now move on
4 it would be a great way for Vincent to declare his love for Cat actually saying I love you and then the kiss!!

its very interesting reading everyone's speculations. I think Catherine would be understanding about Vincent's ex fiance. I also think that Vincent would tell her and let her know since they decided not to have secrets between each other and they have been pretty honest with each other (I love that part of their relationship). That Cold Turkey definition is interesting.It sure sounds like Cat may start assessing the risks of being around each other again even though getting shot had nothing to do with Vincent. Who knows, maybe its in reference to a supporting character. And the mixed tape this is interesting too. Maybe Vincent returned from Afganistan to his ex thinking he could find a way to act normal but then had to leave her when he realized it was uncontrollable or changing thus it didnt work out so well. Is it possible that the ex already knew he was alive but has not seen him since he left her because he was supposedly in trouble with the govt or is that what she is going to think when she realizes he is actually alive when she believed him dead? The mix tape reference is a really interesting thought. I also like Curly's speculation above. We don't realy know exactly what happened after Vincent came home from Afganistan. In interviews that I have read, they mentioned that all Alex knew or would know is that Vincent is hiding or in trouble with the government. So that could fit in with the speculation or what Vincent tells her in the next episode. Seriously just the title of this episode screams the thought of Catherine and Vincent having to part. But it can't be since from the preview for episode 10 Catherine is saying that she accepts all of him. Ugh the suspense! Hahaha. I guess we will have to wait (which sucks) especially waiting for a month till the next episode. |

Im starting to think that if Catherine is having scenes with Alex than something went down that they are all together. Perhaps they were confronted by Muirfield again or the ex was. She has probably been under surveillance by them since he went into hiding and now both he and Cat have to keep her safe because she has come into contact with him and thus they go on the run in woods etc...I'm guessing he will not beast out, (uses a gun) they will try to keep that from her and he will tell her to stay away, he's in trouble with govt. I'm also willing to suggest that maybe he sees the interaction between Cat and Vincent and she realizes that he is in love with someone else. (Cat). He tells her to move on and she agrees. This will probably be unknown to Cat though just for added angst.

I am a big VinCat fan and I like Bridget and I am excited about the Alex story line...Trust me all I want to see is VinCat kissing, staring at eachother, laughing and hanging out everysecond of every episode but that will eventually make them boaring! So while I want to see VinCat atleast be a couple or act like one for an episode I am happy that they are briging people that will test their love and commitement for eachother. The Beautiful Bridge Regan is only fitting for our HOTTTT Jay Ryan---While I am dreading it. I think I will throw something at my TV if he smiles looking at her but VinCat are worth it  |

Nope, not looking forward to Bridget's (the ex) appearance. I mean 4 episodes is way too much. We don't know if we'll be getting a second season. I want the time we do have on VinCat. We are adding too many characters as it is.

We are adding too many characters as it is. I agree, 4 episodes is a lot to give to a character that can truly threaten the main relationship. What if they write Alex in a sympathetic light.........she didn't want him to go in the Military, she still loved him while he was gone, she didn't break off the engagement but he did or didn't......or worse, maybe they never broke their engagement and she just thinks he was dead or MIA? If they write her in a way that makes the audience sympathize with her, the writers will create a potential for a fanbase for this couple before they firmly establish Vincent and Catherine the "Main Couple". You have to build up a shipper fanbase, give them "something" ie......declarations of love, kissing, signs of a "love" relationships so that if someone else comes along, the fans aren't left feeling so threatened that they are always in a state of distress........will they or won't they? That is good for a short time to create drama.....but if VinCat aren't well established then the relationship will have too much of an uphill battle and frankly, people WANT TO SEE CONTACT between the two main characters. Keeping VinCat apart for 2, 3, 4, episodes is WAY, WAY too much! Frankly, if they do that, I will become disinterested........been there done that, .........I won't wait 2 or 3 years for the main couple to get together. An Ex-fiance is a legitimate threat........whether she broke up with him or he broke up with her or worse, they never resolved anything.............FEELINGS can still be lingering and that would create DOUBT in the investment of Vincent and Catherine! I like that she is a Doctor,............maybe she is used as a future resource if Vincent gets shot or wounded and she has to treat him in secrecy. I could see that, but if she is still in the picture she is a threat, IMO. Whether Vincent and Alex declare their love for someone else or move on from each other.....her presence, again IMO, is a threat to VinCat. The more they share screen time and VinCat DO NOT, then it creates a DIVIDER in the fandom. Also, if they make Alex someone who looms in the background that can come back any time is not cool. I don't want the idea in the back of my mind that Vincent can run TO HER!! As mentioned before, having less than 5 minutes of screen time per episode between the main characters is bad for the show. I will lose patience. In the next few episodes they have to give the fans a "no turning back" moment for VinCat. They declare their feelings or express it to each other. Just because the Title is "Beauty and the Beast" doesn't give the writers/producers the assumption that the fans are completely SOLD!! There is romance and courting, but there is a time to take the LEAP!! To get that second season, you can't go there thinking that the main couple are wishy-washy or so breakable that any new character threatens them. That is why, giving Alex "4" episodes is a big investment and when she is gone (if she does leave permanently) she needs to STAY GONE!! I don't know Ms. Ryan......everyone seems to like her as an actress...and she seems a good believable fit for Jay....so I think it will be good for the show. We will see how it plays out.....if she leaves and people are SOLD with her character, they will want her back and that is not good! But I don't want her to die, then she gets mourned ......more emotion given between Vincent and Alex......the bond between them needs to be broken, convincingly. *Crap, .....now I just stressed myself out about this now*  |

. That is kind of making my shipper heart freak...it would definitely add a lot of that tension, but might cause me to throw something at my tv at the same time. LOL!
