ED and ZD Interview for Sky 1

The Deschanel sisters appear together on screen for the first time this week in the Bones Christmas episode, The Goop On The Girl.

We caught up with Emily and Zooey to find out if there was any sibling rivalry on set.

What was it like working together as sisters?
Emily: It was great. Our first day was less hectic - we had a scene it was just Ryan O'Neill and the two of us. It was really nice. We've never worked together before, except for our own plays that we've done together.

A few people sent this to me, but I waffled on whether or not to put it up, but there are pictures of ED that some may have never seen before at the bottom and the interview is interesting.

Questionnaire For Mr. Hart Hanson:

Best thing about being the creator of Bones?
Running a TV show is a lot of hard work with crazy hours, but it's time spent with talented people who make me laugh a lot. That's a pretty good hand-off.

If you walked into Timmy's right now, what would you order?

Describe the following cast members with only one adjective:
Emily Deschanel: integrity

New Emily/Zooey Interview

Here's a great big long interview found by @Choebe!

Highlight:

Emily on how Booth and Brennan grow closer during the episode: “I think that the episode brings up a lot of questions for Booth and Brennan. Brennan opens up and has a new level of compassion that you’ll see in the episode. I think any time characters have a breakthrough on some level, that either Booth or Brennan has some kind of breakthrough, then that brings both of us together. I think that brings us closer and you’ll see in the episode, Brennan has a new level of compassion and starts to have a paradigm shift in how she’s looking at certain situations. So Booth holds her hand through that. I think when you go through something, it changes you. It’s profound in a way. And if somebody is there helping you, that brings you closer together. I think that’s definitely what happens in this episode. Christmas brings people together, so as much as Brennan resists that aspect, she usually ends up together with people in the end on Christmas.”

Zap2It: Santa delivers a funny sister act in 'Bones' holiday episode

When "Bones" creator and executive producer Hart Hanson and his writing team devise a "very special Christmas episode" of their show, all bets are off. You can be sure of just one thing: It will have a macabre streak a mile wide.

And "The Goop on the Girl," a yuletide-themed episode premiering Thursday, Dec. 10, on Fox, is no exception, as the opening scene features a Santa suit-clad bank robber getting blown to smithereens (the "goop" of the title refers to little bits of St. Nick that get splattered all over witnesses).

Sparks Between Margaret and Booth?

Any scoop on ‘Bones‘ would be great. Mostly, we want to know for sure that there is no interest whatsoever between Booth and Brennan’s cousin Margaret (played by Zooey Deschanel). – Sarah

Will Rebecca Return?

Q.Is actress Jessica Capshaw the mother of Booth's son on "Bones"? If so, is she still on the series? And if not, where will we see more of her?

- Richard Rose, Watervliet, Mich.

A. Just to put a little more distance between fact and fiction, Capshaw's character on the Fox series, Rebecca, is the mother of Booth's (David Boreanaz) son, and she wouldn't marry Booth, according to him. Since the character is recurring and not regular, there's always the chance Rebecca could resurface, but Capshaw is busy elsewhere in series television now.

The daughter of actress Kate Capshaw and stepdaughter of Hollywood titan Steven Spielberg, she's now playing Dr. Arizona Robbins on ABC's "Grey's Anatomy." She joined the medical drama last season for what was projected as only a handful of episodes, but her stay has been extended considerably.

Transcript of Zooey/Emily Interview

Tipster: ChoeBe


After years of fans' pleading, begging and all-round hoping, it's finally happened! Zooey Deschanel has signed on for a guest appearance in big sister Emily's hit show Bones! The actress and singer stars as Dr Temperance Brennan's newly-discovered second cousin Margaret in an episode titled 'The Goop On The Girl', which sees Brennan juggling her lookalike relative while also unravelling the mystery of an exploding Santa Claus. We caught up with the sisters to chat about the Christmas-themed episode.

Why has it taken you this long to appear on screen together?
Zooey: "We have different career paths and it seems weird, but it's difficult to schedule. I'd talked about doing a Bones episode for a couple of years but it never ended up working out because with films you get a job and sometimes have to leave the next week. I think we both like having our own space and the one thing I would fear about working with a family member is you want to make sure you don't bring any silly bickering or family things to set, although we don't really do that anymore. I just wanted to make sure everything was right and it was really fun - Emily was extremely welcoming and accomodating and very sweet. I'm glad I did it."

What was it like working together?
Emily: "It was great, especially on the first day because it wasn't that hectic. We had a scene that was just Ryan O'Neal and the two of us, which was really nice. We've never worked together before except our own plays we've done together!"
Zooey: "It was really fun to watch Emily work and I enjoyed it and I'm excited to see the episode."
