(Warning: This post contains spoilers for Friday’s “The Blacklist.”)
“The Blacklist” went to the darkest place its been thus far with tonight’s episode, aptly titled “Katarina Rostova: Conclusion,” as it featured the demise of Katarina Rostova (Laila Robins). The death of Elizabeth Keen’s (Megan Boone) mother came in the final moments of the episode at the hands of Raymond Reddington (James Spader).
Red was worried Katarina knew too much about N-13 — whether or not that is actually Red’s identity has yet to be confirmed — and the archives after pulling information out of a dying Dom earlier in the hour. And so he murdered Katarina right in front of Liz, who got to the scene too late to prevent Red from doing the one thing she had demanded him not to do, despite the fact Red knew this act could be the final nail in the coffin of their relationship.

(Warning: This post contains spoilers for Friday’s Season 8 premiere of “The Blacklist.”)
“The Blacklist” kicked off its eighth season tonight with multiple shocking moments, including one that fans have been waiting for since the series began: a kiss between Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone) and her longtime partner Don Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff).
There were plenty of other shockers in the NBC drama’s Season 8 premiere, like Katarina’s (Laila Robins) theory that Red (James Spader) is actually a notorious operative known as N-13, who tried to kill her many years ago on the other’s of her father, Dom. But it’s a little hard to focus on anything but that smooch at the moment.
However, when TheWrap spoke with “The Blacklist” creator Jon Bokenkamp and executive producer John Eisendrath about the episode, titled “Roanoke,” we managed to compose ourselves long enough to get in a few other questions about where the season is headed.

Tom Pelphrey has a knack for choosing incredibly dynamic roles.
You should know him from Ozark Season 3, on which he played Wendy Byrde's bipolar brother, Ben opposite award-winning talent, Laura Linney.
Or perhaps you know him from Banshee or Iron Fist. Pelphrey makes an impression wherever he goes.
For me, it was the fall of 2004 when he burst onto the scene of Guiding Light as Jonathan Randall. Just out of college, Pelphrey held his weight against a soap-opera great, Kim Zimmer, who played his long-lost mother, Reva Shayne.
The energy he brought to that storyline was infectious. For just over two years, he was part of one of the most riveting storylines in soap history.
Always one to make a mark, Pelphrey joined the Cinemax series Banshee in 2015 as Kurt Bunker, a former Neo-Nazi who managed to change his stripes against all the odds.

On Broadway's night to show the world the magic that happens within a few Manhattan blocks, Irish pub music, Gershwin standards and American classics dominate.
Neil Patrick Harris hosts the 66th Annual Tony Awards Sunday, June 10, on CBS. Though details for the live show from Manhattan's Beacon Theatre were not set at this writing, expect traditional Irish music from "Once," with the most nominations, 11. And with 10 nods each, expect numbers from "The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess," starring Audra McDonald, and "Nice Work If You Can Get It," starring Matthew Broderick, also with a Gershwin score.
And if the audience is lucky, it will see a bunch of ragtag pirates dressed as mermaids in a number from "Peter and the Starcatcher." This delightful play, with nine nominations, details Captain Hook and Peter Pan's history. It would be an upset if Christian Borle (Tom on "Smash"), as an absolutely fabulous pirate prone to malapropisms,...

And if the audience is lucky, it will see a bunch of ragtag pirates dressed as mermaids in a number from "Peter and the Starcatcher." This delightful play, with nine nominations, details Captain Hook and Peter Pan's history. It would be an upset if Christian Borle (Tom on "Smash"), as an absolutely fabulous pirate prone to malapropisms,...

The 2012 Tony Award nominations were announced this morning by Kristin Chenoweth and Jim Parsons, with the musicals leading the pack. "Once" -- adapted from the popular indie film -- came out on top with 11 nominations, The Gershwins' "Porgy and Bess" and "Nice Work If You Can Get It," both also musicals, trailed close behind with 10 a piece, and "Follies" and "Newsies" took a respectable eight each.
"Peter and the Starcatcher" picked up nine nominations, the most for a play, edging out this year's closest thing to a favorite, Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman," which gained seven. Philip Seymour Hoffman predictably earned a nod for his turn as Willy Loman in "Salesman," alongside fellow big names James Earl Jones ("The Best Man") and John Lithgow ("The Columnist"). Ricky Martin's divisive portrayal of Che in "Evita" got no love. "Evita," however, did snatch three nods, including one for best revival of a musical.

Please cry for Ricky Martin and Elena Roger in the Broadway revival of Evita. The truth is, the Tony nominators didn’t love you. Those stars were two of the biggest snubs at this morning’s announcement of the 66th annual Tony Awards.
One of the biggest shockers? It seems that Angela Lansbury will have to wait for her chance to win a record-breaking sixth Tony Award. Despite critical acclaim for her role as a Southern political doyenne in Gore Vidal’s The Best Man, Lansbury was passed over for Featured Actress in a Play. The surprise nominee in that...
