Okay, so I've come across the first spoilers for the new season. Have a ball! I figured I would designate this as the "Official Spoiler Thread." So if you find anything regarding the new season that does contain spoilers, we have a place to put it.

Also you can use this thread for discussing everything and any new speculation.

I'm also not hiding anything behind "SPOILERS" in this thread because I warned everyone beforehand lol.


Psych - Episode 4.01 - He Dead - Plotline and Casting Call

STORY LINE
Shawn & Gus try to fulfill the dying wish of billionaire hedge fund manager WARREN CLAYTON, by seeking to unmask his killer...

[ALICE CLAYTON] The pretty, well-maintained, blue-blood widow of billionaire hedge fund manager Warren Clayton, she is furious when the police initially suspect that her husband's death in a plane crash was an accident, insisting that Warren was murdered, and is instantly impressed when Shawn agrees with her. In truth, Alice is a woman who was trapped in a loveless marriage, and has been having an affair with her tennis pro, so she has an excellent motive to want Warren dead. She hires Shawn to find the killer, but winds up with another devastating loss: her husband's hedge fund is a Ponzi scheme, and she's left destitute...GUEST STAR (10)

[NYNA CLAYTON PHILLIPS] In her late 20's-30, she is a stark contrast to the rest of her spoiled, wealthy family. Nyna is the oldest daughter of Warren Clayton, a beautiful hippie-progressive environmental activist who broke with her father long ago, and is treated by the family as if she is dead. Married to Charles Phillips, she's the co-founder of "The Great Green Hope," a political action group. Appalled by her father's golf course development, she reluctantly agreed to try and reconcile with him -- and after being falsely arrested for the homicide of Warren Clayton, she's horrified to ultimately realize that her husband is responsible for her father's murder...GUEST STAR (34)

[CHARLES PHILLIPS] The husband of Nyna Phillips, Charles is another environmental activist -- but unlike his wife, he's unwilling to turn his back on his father-in-law's massive fortune. Having pleaded with Warren to reinstate Nyna in his will, Charles turned bitterly vindictive when Warren refused, and coolly plotted the murder of his father-in-law -- a plot that's ultimately unraveled by Shawn.sptv050769..GUEST STAR (37)

[ROSA] The attractive Hispanic housekeeper-cook at the Clayton mansion, she in fact was having a clandestine affair with the late Warren Clayton, and appears to be the only person who is genuinely distressed by his death...1 speech & 3 lines, 2 scenes (16)

I like this thread!
And where do you find this stuff?!?!

http://spoilertv.blogspot.com/search/label/Psych

Here and there really. It's usually about this time where stuff starts popping up about the upcoming season. Just gotta be on the look out

thanks!

Yay, I love spoilers! Thanks a bunch, sarcasmlove I'll try to keep my eye out for spoilers as well.

No problem. Yes, anything you see go ahead and post.

I have to admit that storyline and the casting is pretty interesting. I can't wait to see what they have in store for us.

yay! i'm always exciited when this time of year comes around

i <3 spoilers

Not sure if this qualifies as a spoiler but Jason Berger, Steve's assistant, says that filming starts next week. So be prepared for more spoilers VERY soon. Also James was in the Psych Office, the *real* one in LA possibly writing an episode for this season.

The psychwrites Twitter may be one of the most amazing things ever invented

I'm assuming filming starts (in HD) on May 27th, since Jason said they start next week. I'm also going to draw my own conclusion from the picture of James at the writing office sitting with his Mac, that he is writing at least one episode this season

He'd better be! A lot of my favorite moments on the show have been in episodes he's written. Ironically, a lot of my favorite Lassiter B stories have been as well.

Yes, the HD part IS very important. My cable has been pretty crappy lately. Fingers crossed for it to clear up by July. And that is a good conclusion. I agree that psychwrites is one of my top ten greatest inventions. Now if only Jason would give us a clear answer on if James is writing AN episode for THIS season. But I'm with you. I mean he's been writing quite a few lately so for him to write...even direct...a few this season would not be out of the question.

I was adamantly opposed to Twitter, but then I looked at the psychwrites page. And I've converted. I figure any great spoilers will be there pretty quickly, maybe? If not, it'll be entertaining anyway.

LOL, Psych and Jason are the *only* reason I am on Twitter, and will likely remain so... though it is fun keeping up with you Psych-Os over there as well

Jason was the reason I joined twitter. But getting to know the other Psych-Os has been great as well. And psychwrites is absolutely amazing.

Episode 4.02 spoiler!!! Posted today at Spoiler TV

TITLE: Extradition: British Columbia

STORY LINE
Shawn and Gus are frustrated by their attempts to capture elusive art thief PIERRE DESPEREAUX while on vacation in Canada...

[PIERRE DESPEREAUX] Handsome, sophisticated, with a mischievous glint in his eye, Pierre Despereaux is a world-class art thief, who's been frustrating Lassiter's attempts to capture him for years. Elegant, confident, Despereaux is more amused than threatened by Shawn's efforts to bring him down, and is relaxed even when face to face with Shawn in a restaurant or hotel room. Eventually, Despereaux explains to Shawn exactly how he's managed to keep clear of the law for so long...GUEST STAR (5) LOOKING FOR RECOGNIZABLE NAMES

[STAFF SERGEANT HUGH MACKINTOSH] A boyish, fresh-faced, extremely polite Canadian police officer who still believes that great things happen to good people, MacKintosh takes down Shawn's information about sighting famed art thief Pierre Despereaux on the skiing slopes. MacKintosh is impressed with Shawn's apparent psychic abilities not just because he's somewhat naive and optimistic, but because he's open-minded to new techniques--in fact, he's got a lot of new ideas himself that are continually shot down by his superiors. MacKintosh goes out of his way to help Shawn and Gus get their man, but things go wrong, and he gets fired sptv050769...GUEST STAR (9)

[COMMISIONER ED DYKSTRA] In his early 60s, bullish but jolly, possibly not too competent, Dykstra is the RCMP commissioner who's instantly impressed with Shawn's psychic abilities when Shawn "guesses" that today's his birthday. Dykstra fully believes Shawn's inflated representation of his own rank, and infuriates Lassiter by referring to Shawn as his superior. Despite Dykstra's initial enthusiasm for Shawn, he gradually becomes skeptical of Shawn's ability, and eventually joins with Lassiter in what he thinks is a "good cop/bad cop" interrogation of Shawn...GUEST STAR (13)


Dykstra calling Shawn Lassiter's superior?! This is going to be good!

So... is this what was referenced on the 'Mr Yang' podcast when the triumvirate talked about how disparate the weather in Canada and Santa Barbara are? Were we being told that an episode was going to be set in Canada?

Okay, I just read that storyline and started laughing. Finally they're going to use Vancouver This is totally what Steve was hinting at in the Yang podcast.

Very nice find acu! These spoilers are all amazing. I love this time of year.

I started laughing when it said they were on vacation in Canada. I don't know I think it's funny though

I also thought it was funny, but only because I'm going to be in Canada around the time that episode airs

not reading spoilers, not reading spoilers, not reading spoilers... Ohh... Canadia? oops... not reading spoilers, not reading spoilers...

Canada!!! I don't know why I'm so excited. I mean the show already films in Canada. But I am and intend on staying that way. Filming starts NEXT week!!!!

Whoooooo! Season 4 gets closer and closer!!!

I feel better just knowing that they're filming new episodes, even though I won't see them for a couple months. I can't wait!!!

From TV Guide:

I miss Psych. Got anything to tide me over until the new season? — Audrey

TIM: Hmm. Without getting too specific, we'll say that Gus and Shawn's next cases (in episodes premiering sometime this summer) will involve Bollywood, the Wild West, and an exorcism. They'll also have a skiing-centered episode set in British Columbia, where the show films. Oh, and there's an episode about a time-traveling clone. (Siiiiike! Did they say that at your elementary school?)

I'm really excited about the Wild West one. Who's with me?

Dude, two words! Cowboy Hats! Holy crap, we better see some of James' Texas spirit come out!

An exorcism? Dude, Gus is gonna freak. I love this time of the year. Okay, why does it have to be so long until July. I will rest easier next week just knowing that they're going to be in Vancouver filming.

An exorcism...wow, lol. I can't wait to see what the show does with that!

Bollywood?! That's awesome! I also echo everyone else's comments on the exorcism-Gus is going to freak!

As a Texan, I must say I'm looking forward to the Wild West one. That just sounds like the most fun to me. I really hope they get Lassiter into it because I imagine Tim would absolutely love playing that! (And he'd look great in a cowboy hat...)

Exactly


Hahah, I can't wait to see Gus in this one. July is taking forever!!

Can't wait to see some more of this! Haha!

Ack! It didn't work Insert pic of James in cowboy hat til I can find another one!

These are great tidbits! All of these ideas sound pretty dope!

Is it July yet?

-Beth

anyone else think this character is just like McNab? even has the "Mc" sound in front of it. hahah.

and i guess i'm probably the 10th person to say this or something but: I can't wait till july!!

Definitely excited about Wild West. Hopefully more of this...

I love Roday in a cowboy hat! Really, I love pretty much any guy in a cowboy hat, and will therefore be upset if we don't see all of our Psych men in one by the end of the episode.

Question: Got anything on Psych? --Sean
Ausiello: I've got the first significant piece of guest casting for season 4! In an early eppy, Christine Baranski will play Alice Clayton, the well-maintained widow of a billionaire hedge fund manager who believes her husband's death in a plane crash was not accidental, but murder.

Christine Baranski!Yay! She is so great. I just watched Mama Mia this weekend!

Also, someone on another board I watch wondered if the Bollywood episode could possibly include Dulé dancing! That would be perfect.

Thanks sarcasmlove for the updates.

http://spoilertv.blogspot.com/2009/04/psyc...british_23.html

You can actually view some casting sides from the episode. So basically you're looking at script pages.

Edit: I just read through them, and I think it's awesome. I was cracking up at some parts.

Okay, I've read through most of them now, and I think they're hilarious! I absolutely can't wait!!! I often wonder if it's easier to wait if I have no new Psych info, or if I do and it's really awesome. I haven't decided where I stand on that yet.

I personally have never had a problem with reading the spoilers. If anything I need them because of the long hiatus, because I go through Psych withdrawals. LOL, so they help me keep my sanity

Oh I'll never stop reading them, even if I decide they make it seem harder to wait for the new season. They make me happy and I'm just too impatient to wait.

"I'm really excited about the Wild West one. Who's with me? "


Ok, they MUST give Lassiter a handlebar moustache. I have a feeling there are some great Lassiter moments to be had in this one, given his penchant for Civil War reenactments.




Texasartchick

Very exciting news.



Very happy about this one. Skimmed them more than read. Cause I'd like some surprise when I'm watching the ep, but loved the Mentalist reference and possible Shules moment.

I just read through the casting sides and they were great! I could not stop laughing when I read the Mentalist reference!!

Even though they do film in Bristish Columbia, I am glad one of the episode is taking place outside of Santa Barbara!!! That is awesome! And I can hear Gus now: "No Shawn. No exocisms." And probably both of them, screaming like little girls (which I always find funny).


Yeah, and James on a horse, again. I love this picture of him and Michael Weston. I sure hope Michael comes back on the show as Adam Hornstock or "H"stock as Shawn called him.



First, we had Cybill Shephard. Now Christine Baranski!



Again? It will the second time that they mention that show, but I laugh at the first Mentalist reference. Watch out Patrick Jane; Shawn Spencer is the orginial fake psychic on television!!

The original and BEST fake psychic on television. No question.

I had to laugh when I read this. In one of my random web searches, I came across a Bollywood website where someone said that James Roday had the nose to be a Bollywood actor.

For grins and giggles, here's a picture of Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi and James

Seriously!! Definitely the best. No one should ever copy that.

(And why would you even try?)

The psychwrites Twitter page said this afternoon that Extradition: British Columbia will be episode 4.01, not 4.02.

okay so...this is weird.

I just read there will be a wild west episode of psych...but i just posted a script for a wild west episode like three weeks ago!!

interesting...

Cool! I wanted to see the Extradition: British Columbia first! I remember in Season Two that they shot Psy vs. Psy first but was aired third after American Duos and 65 Million Years Off!
