Dan here with a juicy little tidbit I’ve sat on for quite some time… It’s a secret that I wasn’t able to spill for fear of Bryan Fuller bitch-slapping me into Coeur d’Coeurs and luckily I didn’t have to, someone else did!

There has long been a rumor that one of the characters in the Pushing Daisies world is gay. Way back in the early days of the show, series creator Bryan Fuller told me that it was NOT one of the main characters but that one day he/she would be revealed.

I finally got that answer I was looking for and I vowed not to tell a soul…

Well, the good folks that I work for over at AfterElton.com have gone public with Bryan’s answer and I didn’t even write the article or give them the scoop!

Want to know who’s got a crush on our favorite knitter Emerson or possibly even our beloved Pie Maker? Head on over to AfterElton.com to find out! While you’re there, check out the video they posted from our red carpet coverage of the NYTVF Premiere of Pushing Daisies.

I hope you didn’t think our coverage of the PUSHING DAISIES panel at this year’s Paley Festival was over! It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to really celebrate the show, so we wanted to make sure we shared as much as we could for those of you who weren’t able to attend.

To that end, we decided to do our second Pushing Daisies Piecast Podcast - this one devoted to our Paley experience. Among other things we discuss some of what we learned during the panel, some thoughts on Season 2, and our experience with the cast on that great night.

The divine divas from E!, Kristen Dos Santos and Korbi Ghosh, hit the Pushing Daisies Paley Festival Red Carpet and got the poop, the scoop, the skinny, the haps, the dilly-o and the 411. Chi McBride also reveals that the writing staff is on crack. Mild Spoilers coming your way!

If you’ve been following our coverage of the Pushing Daisies Paley Festival panel then you know we’re planning on doing another Piecast Podcast to chat about how incredible the evening was but we couldn’t help get some information up after all the emails we’ve received.

The Piecast will hopefully be ready for Monday night as we’ve decided to hold out until after our visit to the Writers Room in the afternoon in case Bryan Fuller and Co. give us any scoop we can spill to all the fans. Fingers crossed gang!

As we’re really trying to save our thoughts until the Piecast, we decided it would be a good chance to have some of our loyal ThePieMaker.com readers in attendance share their thoughts with you all!

First up is Patricia from San Diego (who oddly enough happens to be the Sister of my friend Jenny, strange but true) who attended the panel with her husband Michael. Patricia’s got a ton of quotes from the panel as well as some fun tidbits that the cast and crew shared. Some of our burning questions are answered as well. Ever wonder if Ned is a Vegetarian or if Ned & Chuck could ever possibly have a baby? Well, read on…

Second will be reader Erika with a quick take on what it was like to be a fan and aspiring TV Writer in attendance of her favorite show.

Take it away ladies…

• …Ned’s costumes are always black and grey to keep him the calm center of the show
• …more of the Darling Mermaid Darlings in the 2nd season - more of their rivals back in the day
• …Lily and Vivian will open up more in the 2nd season and love interests may be introduced
• …more of Emerson’s pop-up book fascination (ha)

(Stay tuned for P2 of the interview next week)

Episode Summary: After a shocking turn of events, Ned tries to make peace with Chuck.

Warning! The following post and subsequent comments contain possible spoilers for upcoming episodes of PUSHING DAISIES. Read at your own risk.

We might only have one more show left of our beloved PUSHING DAISIES until the end of the writers strike, but that doesn’t mean we can’t speculate on some upcoming storylines, right?

According to E!’s Kristin Dos Santos, Ned’s big revelation to Chuck that he killed her father might not be such a big deal if we find out that Chuck’s father (and perhaps mother) are still among the living? Check out this latest Q&A:

Justin in Malibu: I’m dying, dying, dying over your Pushing Daisies scoop from your last show (click here to watch)! Chuck’s father might be alive?! What about her mother? What can you tell me? That show is so good, it’s just amazing.

Kristin: Watch the Vine show if you haven’t yet, and then let the guessing begin…Could Chuck’s mother be alive? Whom could she be? All I know is that this is certainly not the end of Ned and Chuck, but the rest of the season is about as bumpy as my skin was when I was 13. (Translation: Not pretty.) There’s lots o’ drama coming their way! And yes, the parental stuff is most certainly the biggest root of it.

So Pie Maker’s, what are we thinking? I’m of the thought that Chuck’s mother could be none other than Aunt Lily, but what about her dad? Could it be that perhaps the father who raised her was not really her biological father meaning her real father is out there somewhere?

Let’s dish…what do you think of this possible scoop?
