Meanwhile, Emerson Cod, indulging his own passion, has begun making pop-up books. He’s created a series of books about “Lil’ Gumshoe”, a young girl detective.

6/18 - 2.03 - Bad Habits: We flash back to young Olive, age 9 years (20 weeks, 4 days, 11 hours, 33 minutes), fresh off her first riding lesson and completely besotted with horses. She asks her parents for an Arabian, but her request is summarily dismissed. Exhibiting a tenacity still evident in the adult Olive, the young girl decides to dig a hole to the Middle East and find a horse herself. Part way into this endeavor, she discovers a fossilized dinosaur. Young Olive trades the priceless artifact for her heart’s desire - a white Arabian horse. Back in present day, Sister Olive, still inhabiting the nunnery, digs for truffles with Pigby, her truffle-hunting sow. One of her “sisters” turns up dead in an apparent suicide, but Olive doesn’t believe that and hires Ned and Emerson to investigate. As it turns out, the deceased wasn’t quite as devout as she seemed. With a pair of eavesdropping, gossipy nuns tripping them up, Ned, Emerson, Chuck and Olive attempt to get to the bottom of the crime before the Vatican Police - aka the Pope’s 007s - arrive. Meanwhile, Ned is concerned that Chuck is so intent on clearing up her past while Chuck ponders her purpose in the present. Source: Pushing-Daisies.com

6/11 - Lee Pace Interview: Bon jour, mes chers! Greetings from the 48th Monte Carlo Television Festival in beautiful Monaco on the Mediterranean! OK, so I'm not really there, per se. (I'm actually at my office in the beautiful mid-Wilshire tar pit area of Los Angeles—sooo glamorous!) But I did send a lucky bastard of a correspondent, Bryan Reesman, all the way across the pond to get some face time with the TV stars attending this year's fest in Monte Carlo, and I had a banana-Nutella crepe and an Orangina for lunch today, so that sorta counts, right? All this week, some of our favorite TV peeps (Lee Pace, Jorge Garcia, Naveen Andrews and more) are soaking in the French sun while meeting up with international press, and Bryan graciously packed some of your recently asked questions into his carry-on bag, so check back all this week for TV star Q&A's from the land of wine, cheese, l'amour and this week only...small-screen scoop! Up first: the highly adorable Lee Pace! Click in for the Pushing Daisies news from Ned himself...Will Ned and Chuck ever be able to touch? Is there a way out of that rule? No, no way out! They can't. Ned and Chuck will never touch. If I touch her, she's dead. Doesn't that make you sad? No. It's good. It gives us something to play. It would be cheating if somehow we made it to the fifth season, and there's a special trick, like I hold my ear while I touch her it becomes OK. We have to keep the integrity of it. Do you feel that's the heart of the show? Yes, this show is very much about secrets and people who can't connect with each other. Ned can't touch anyone, Olive can't connect with the man she loves, and the aunts can't get out of their house. It's about people who can't connect and have lots and lots of secrets, and in the second season, which we start shooting on Monday, we really start digging up those secrets. Will Ned and Chuck start seeing other people in season two? Maybe. One of the big things that happens at the beginning of the second season is that Chuck moves out. So it's not going to be easy anymore for Ned. It's good. They need to see other people. Is there a moral lesson we're supposed to take from a show where the lovers don't sleep together? That wasn't the intention. Some people in America have interpreted it like that, and I don't think it's a bad thing. These are two people who love each other very much and choose to be together even though they're never going to get drunk and sleep together. It's not that show. I think it's kind of sexy that they can't touch. It's the longest foreplay ever. Source: E!Online

6/03 - Pushing Daisies- Season 2 Details: Episode 2.1 Olive has a breakdown and packs up to leave in the middle of the night. Fearing that she'll spill some pretty big secrets, Aunt Lily whisks Olive
off to a nunnery in the country. Episode 2.2: We open with Young Ned at school, using his gift to revive some baby birds. Unfortunately, the side effect of his gift impacts the class project. A woman named Georgeann Heaps hires Emerson Cod to find her missing daughter, Nikki. The investigation leads them to a circus, a man named Bryce von Deenis, mimes who aren't talking, and a car full of dead clowns. Ned and Chuck are still trying to find a way to be around each other, despite all that's changed. It's awkward, but they both want to start fresh. In an attempt to be more independent, Chuck has moved into an apartment across the hall from Ned so they are no longer living together, but she still visits The Pie Hole regularly. As do her no-longer shut-in aunts, which means lots of jumping behind counters and darting through doors for Chuck. Olive, still in the nunnery, decides perhaps she needs to stay a while longer and turn over a new leaf. Source: Pushing Daisies

6/03 - Episode 2.02 will be called "Circus Circus".

3/25 - Question: Pushing Daisies is my absolute favorite new show. Any scoop/news?— Marjorie Ausiello: Just when I thought I couldn't love this show anymore, they go and add producer/writer Lawrence Trilling (Felicity, Alias, Invasion) to the staff.

3/19 - Question: I'm dying without a Pushing Daisies fix! — Hayley Ausiello: Then my scoopy dispatch from Saturday's Paley Fest panel on Daisies may just save your life! One thing I neglected to mention was that series creator Bryan Fuller told the crowd that ABC already approved his outlines for next season's first five episodes. So the network is apparently pleased with the "harder, more aggressive direction" Fuller plans on taking Daisies in next fall. Speaking of Paley, mucho thanks to all those who sent in questions for tonight's Friday Night Lights panel, moderated by (squeal) me! I'll try to get them answered in between tossing my cookies.
