After the Episode With Josh: Season 3 Premiere Talk

Posted By LifetimeLisaR 2:41pm GMT

Drop Dead Diva Season 3 Premiere

To celebrate Season 3 of "Drop Dead Diva," we're giving you access to the show's all-knowing executive producer and creator Josh Berman! You may remember him from his Diva Dish guest appearances, and now Josh is answering all of your questions after each new episode. Monday, post-premiere, I asked fans on Facebook to dig deep for questions and concerns they had after the Season 3 opener. Below, Josh answers your burning questions:

Many of the Facebook commenters felt like Jane is different this season, more cocky and confident — what do you see as the biggest difference between Jane in Seasons 1 & 2 and Jane in Season 3?
Jane is becoming more confident. She looks in the mirror and doesn't see a stranger. She sees a beautiful woman looking back at her. She has a renewed sense of self-worth and that informs the way she goes about her personal and professional life. And, to be honest, it's a lot of fun to write about a woman who feels empowered.

Priscille B. on Facebook thinks "Stacy is BRILLIANT in the role of the intern" and wants to know if she'll be a big part of Season 3 episodes.
It's a big season for Stacy. She and Fred really heat up, but their relationship is not without its bumps. In Episode 2 (airing Sunday, June 26 at 9/8c on Lifetime), Stacy and Fred finally have sex. It's one of the funniest stories in "Diva" history as Jane, reluctantly, becomes Fred's sex teacher.

Doris C. on Facebook asked why Grayson decided to get married in a month/so soon? Why did he make the decision in the hospital?
Grayson's storyline is very organic. Last season, he pulled away from Vanessa but then, during the Season 2 Finale, had an epiphany that life is short, he cares for Vanessa and he wants to get married. Then, this season, he has a near-death experience. With a near-death experience it's not uncommon to want to speed up important events in your life. When you literally see your life flash before your eyes, suddenly, you want to make sure that you do everything you dreamed of doing. Grayson is the kind of guy who wants to get married and have a family. Waking up from the coma, he realizes that he wants to move on with his life and he doesn't want to wait any longer.

Jordan W. on Facebook asks, "why wasn't Deb in any part of the first episode? She is an integral part of the show and we need to see her so we don't forget about her." Will she be in future episodes this season?
Deb is in every episode — her soul is inside of Jane. If you're asking about the amazing actress who plays Deb — she will be back this season... and she's fantastic in a very unique flash back episode!

Sherry says: "Everyone is commenting on the Jane/Grayson thing... when my heart is breaking over Kim and Parker!" Will we see them rekindle this season?
Kim and Parker go on a roller coaster this season. Kim's heart is breaking because Parker deceived her. Kim comes from a broken home and is generally distrustful of men, in romantic situations. The question will be — can she trust Parker again? It's a long road ahead but filled with fun twists and turns.

April Dishes About Fred and Stacy in Season 3

Posted By LifetimeLisaR 6:36pm GMT

Drop Dead Diva April BowlbyDuring our Season 3 Premiere Twitter Party last night with “Drop Dead Diva” cast mates Jackson Hurst and Ben Feldman, Ben told us that Stacy’s hilarious one-liners were earning actress April Bowlby huge laughs. No surprise there, our girl(s) April and Stacy are hilarious!

Since Season 1, we’ve watched Stacy grow and adapt to some big changes — you know, like, finding out her best friend had come back to life as someone else. But beyond dealing with Jane’s new life, she’s made major movement in her own. As we saw in last night’s episode, this season will be full of professional and personal developments for our bubbliest blonde BFF.

In an interview with “Entertainment Weekly,” April dished about what’s in store for Stacy and the rest of the Divas, including tumbling, edgy storylines, guest star secrets and more. The star even revealed that she and Fred get it on in a future (hmm, like maybe… next week?!) Season 3 episode. Read the interview here and tune in this Sunday at 9/8c for the next, all-new “Drop Dead Diva” Season 3 episode!

Best Caption to Visualize goes to... Mike: ‎"I wonder if anyone is aware the I am doing my butt cheek clinching exercises right now."

Best Use of Caption as a Season 3 Plug goes to... Dorothy-Anne: ‎"I thought I looked hot last season, but I'll be even hotter this season!"

Best Cross-Promoting Caption goes to... Karen: "If they are closing Ft. Marshall, how are all the Army Wives going to stay connected next season??? Oh, wait! Wrong show! I wonder if Jane will let me play with Stacy?"

Most "Like-d" (Plus, Most HUH!?!) Caption goes to... Pauline: "Ladies underwear is surprisingly comfortable to wear... wish I had tried it earlier!"

Brandy Joins the Diva Cast

Posted By LifetimeLisaR 6:20pm GMT

Brandy on Drop Dead DivaFrom Liza and Delta, Paula and Rosie, Gregory and Tim, Season 3 of “Drop Dead Diva” had some seriously sparkly shoes to fill. But with an all-star roster including Wanda Sykes, Wendy Williams, Kathy Griffin, Lance Bass and Clay Aiken (just to name a few…) Season 3 is shaping up to be the best one yet!

The newest glorious guest to join “Drop Dead Diva” Season 3 is singer and “Moesha” star Brandy. In an exclusive interview with TVGuide, we find out that the beautiful Brandy will have a recurring role on the last three episodes of the season. Oh, and also that Brandy is a big fan of the show — reason #234 to love her! Here’s hoping we get to see a musical number of “The Boy is Mine.” Maybe with Brandy and Stacy fighting over Fred?!

But back to the Season 3 scooping: Brandy will play a former girlfriend of Parker — I like where this is going already! — who is seeking his legal help. Click here to read the article on TVGuide.com and get more scoop on Brandy's character and what Josh Berman has in store for Season 3!

Sassiest Caption goes to... Bob: ‎"Why thank you, co-counsel. I thought my hair looked pretty kicka** today too. But as for the evidence..."

Funniest Caption goes to... Robyn: ‎"I can't ask her if blondes have more fun, she's obviously biased!"

Most Deb-Like Caption goes to... Steve: ‎"I know RIGHT...I get to like cross examine Lee Ann Rhimes...oh, nice shoes."

Best Use of Parker's Hotness Caption goes to... Mitchell: Judge's thoughts: "MMMMmmmm, mmmmm, Parker, Parker! you sure are looking goooood today!!!"

Most "Like-d" (Plus, Most Clever!) Caption goes to... Rachael: Jane: "So there we have it! Our witness has stated that she is feeling "Blue" and a little "Crazy" because she just "Can't fight the moonlight." But hey, "No big deal," "Life goes on" and "This Love" will be the "Last thing on her mind."

Great job, everyone! I knew "Diva" fans had impeccable taste, but you all are also hilarious! Stay tuned to the "Drop Dead Diva" Facebook page for more caption contests with sneak peek photos from the Season 3 premiere!
