During her time at APA, Tashman has repped writers and directors including Anything’s Possible scribe Ximena Garcia Lecuona, writing duo Katie J. Stone & David Daitch, Natasza Parzymies, Julie Siege and Joe Sousa.
“Lucy has become an invaluable member of our Content Development team and is doing tremendous work for our clients, and this is a richly deserved promotion,” said Loftus and Parker.

Last Resort, Season 1, Episode 10: “Blue Water”
Written by Eileen Myers and Julie Siege
Directed by Bill Gierhart
Airs Thursdays at 8pm (Et) on ABC
As the USS Colorado’s blockade and fight against the Us government continues, the desperation of both the locals and the crew of the sub have become increasingly unpredictable and violent. While last week’s visit from the Cinderella Liberty was meant to bring some respite, both in the form of supplies, and in allowing some of the crew to go back home, last week’s events effectively put an end to that in the near future. Now, with Chaplin finding it more difficult to maintain harmony amongst his crew, and Kendal off trying to find Christine, the captain’s resolve would be tested even more strongly than ever before, and this week’s episode took a walk down that path, revisiting the global ramifications...

Last Resort, Season 1, Episode 8: “Big Chicken Dinner”
Written by Julie Siege
Directed by Gwyneth Horder-Payton
Airs Thursdays at 8pm (Et) on ABC
The adverse effects that Chaplin’s sudden separation from the Us government has had on the crew of the USS Colorado is not an avenue the writers have been afraid to go down. As the conflict and siege draws on, and the conflict between the islanders and the crew keeps reaching new heights, there were bound to be people affected as a result who may otherwise not have been. While we have seen how people closest to the conflict, such as Kendal and Prosser, have had to alter their expectations as time goes on, how the secondary crew members have been affected by the delay in getting back, especially since they aren’t privy to all the information that someone like Chaplin has, is something the show...

Supernatural 5.17 99 Problems Written By: Julie Siege Directed By: Charles Beeson Original Airdate: 8 April 2010 In This Episode... The Winchester boys are racing away from a band of vicious, unseen demons when a band of mercenaries attack with fire hoses filled with holy water. With their asses saved, Sam and Dean accompany the Sacrament Lutheran Militia back to their compound, built around a church. They arrive in the middle of an informal wedding - the eighth that week. Everyone in the church is packing - including the priest. No one knows who the Winchesters are - except for Leah. The preacher's daughter speaks to the angels, who tell her where...

I can't tell if tonight's episode title, 99 Problems, is in reference to the Jay-z song or not. If so, I may have myself a little DVD bonfire. Clever, though, as tonight was the show's 99th episode. And what a strange episode it was — as if Hookman (or Faith) and The End had an angsty love child in the middle of the Vietnam War. Shut up. It makes sense in my head.
Where you sit on this episode probably depends on where you stood at the end of the last episode. If, like me, you were a little confused about what exactly Dean was forsaking when he threw his amulet in the garbage, this week probably confused you even further and characterization issues abounded. If, on the other hand, you agreed with some of the very good comments last week that the amulet in the trash was more about Dean giving up on Sam (I agree,...

As fans of Supernatural are well aware, last week Sam and Dean went to Heaven, and this week it looks like they're out of the frying pan and back into the fire. Thanks to The CW here's a sneak peek at Season 5, Episode 17, "99 Problems".
For an idea of what's in store for our demon-hunting brothers, here's the synopsis:
Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) are outnumbered by demons but are saved at the last minute by Rob (guest star Michael Shanks) and his townspeople, who are aware of the Apocalypse and have been training to fight and kill demons. The small town is very religious, and Sam and Dean meet Pastor Gideon (guest star Larry Poindexter), who introduces them to his daughter, Leah (guest star Kayla Mae Maloney), whom he claims is a prophet. Leah tells the townspeople they must obey her orders if they want a spot in Heaven,...

Thrilled by his new handsome and built body, Gary (now Sam) investigates a case with Dean (Jensen Ackles) and takes advantage of Sam’s good looks and age by hitting on women and getting drunk. Meanwhile, the real Sam is stuck inside Gary’s teenage body, dealing with intrusive parents and high school.

As fans of the series are well aware, in next week's episode of Supernatural we get to see Dean as he might look as an old man. And for those of us who just can't wait until Thursday, the 30th, The CW has graced us with a clip from "The Curious Case of Dean Winchester."
Chad Everett nabbed the part of Dean the Elder, and while his name didn't occur to us when we first started guessing who it might be, now that we've seen him, we can't imagine anyone else. Here's a brief synopsis of the episode: Bobby (Jim Beaver) risks his life by betting 25 years of his life on a poker game run by a witch. Dean tries to save Bobby but ends up drastically aging. The episode was written by Jen Klein (story) and Julie Siege (story and teleplay) with Robert Singer directing.

First is "The Curious Case...", in which Bobby (Jim Beaver) risks his life by betting 25 years of his life on a poker game run by a witch. Dean tries to save Bobby but ends up drastically aging. The episode was written by Jen Klein (story) and Julie Siege (story and teleplay) with Robert Singer directing.

Phobia Friday: Phasmophobia - Fear of ghosts "Fallen Idol" Written By: Julie Siege Directed By: Jim Conway Original Airdate: 8 October 2009 In This Episode… The brothers head out to Canton, Ohio, when they hear a guy got into a head-on collision in a parked car. The victim was found dead in what he believed to be the car James Dean died in (the guys later discovered it was merely a copy). But when another man in town is mysteriously shot in the head and his housekeeper swears it was Abraham Lincoln, Sam and Dean definitely have to investigate. It would appear that dead celebrities are killing their super fans, so...

Supernatural fans haven't been this worked up since Eric Kripke confirmed he was going to introduce a third Winchester brother in last year's "Jump The Shark." Paris Hilton is guessing on this week's episode of Supernatural, "Fallen Idol," and a lot of Supernatural fans are hopping mad about it. Indications are, though, that Hilton's cameo will be the epitome of Supernatural's legendary wit. Check out some pics and details ahead.
Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) decide to start hunting together again and their first case leads them to a small town whose inhabitants are being killed by famous dead icons like Abraham Lincoln and James Dean’s car. However, after two teenage girls come forward and claim their friend was kidnapped by Paris Hilton (in a cameo role as herself), the brothers aren’t sure what they are hunting anymore.

The moment Supernatural fans have been waiting for has finally arrived. Paris Hilton's guest starring episode is upon us. Thankfully, the celebutante is actually only making a cameo – as a suitably evil version of her self – but Supernatural fans may be mildly excited that this episode marks a return to the monster-of-the-week episodes. As pumped as we've been for Supernatural's fifth season, the last four mythos heavy episodes have been – on occasion – tedious. Big time. So a little episodic Supernatural fun is well over due. We have a couple of clips from Supernatural 5.05, "Fallen Idol", just ahead.
