Fringe Promo Photos: Bound

Here are the promotional photos for Fringe episode 111 - Bound, which premieres January 20th, 2009. In the photos, we see Walter working out of the back of an SUV, a captured Olivia with a scary masked person (David Jones?), and Olivia's sister, played by Ari Graynor.

Fringe Episode 111: Preview #2 of "Bound"

Fox aired a new trailer last night for Bound, the next new Fringe episode which premieres January 20th, 2009. This one features the captured Olivia, and an unknown masked man. My money is on David Esterbrook, who previously threatened Olivia in The Cure, and is no doubt working for David Jones.

'Fringe' Exclusive: Look who's playing Olivia's sis!
by Michael Ausiello

How's this for a top-secret Fringe twist: Olivia's got, like, the coolest sister ever! Sources confirm to me exclusively that rising star Ari Graynor, who played Meadow's college roomie on The Sopranos and, more recently, won raves for her hilarious turn as Kat Dennings' boozy BFF in Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, has been tapped to play the younger sister of Anna Torv's Olivia. Graynor will appear in a minimum of three episodes, the first of which airs in January. Per a Fringe insider, Graynor's character pays Olivia a surprise visit and ends up crashing at her place for a few weeks. "She's dealing with some man trouble back home," the insider explains. "But the exact nature of that trouble isn't clear." 'Lil sis also has a 'lil travel companion: a daughter. Anyone out there see Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist? If so, I'm guessing you're as jazzed about this casting coup as I am.

TV Guide reports that former Dawson's Creek alum Mary Beth Peil will be making an appearance on the show, as Jessica Warren. Warren is the mother of the lab assistant killed in Walter's Lab, who shows up after finding out that Walter was released from St. Claire's.

TV Guide Exclusive: Get Ready for a Dawson's Creek Reunion... on Fringe!
by Mickey O'Connor

(Cue up that annoying Paula Cole song)
I don't want to wait/for our lives to be over...
(OK, that's enough.)

Would it be too embarrassing to reveal how much of a touchstone Dawson's Creek was on my own Massachusetts upbringing? Yes? It would? OK then, never mind.

Instead, let me reveal exclusively that there will be a Dawson's Creek reunion on Fringe! In an upcoming episode, Mary Beth Peil, who played Jen's loyal Grams on Creek over five years and 128 episodes, will cross paths with Joshua Jackson's Peter Bishop. (Jackson, of course, made his name as smartaleck Pacey Witter on Dawson's.)

Peil's character, Jessica Warren, is important to the Fringe mythology. She's the mother of a young woman who was killed 20 years ago in an explosion at Walter's lab, the incident that led to his incarceration. Jessica shows up when she finds out that Walter has been released from the mental institution.

Peil's episode is scheduled to air in January.

TV Guide: Sci-Fi Preview

TV Guide has a feature on Fringe in their 2009 Sci-Fi Preview. Exec producer Jeff Pinkner reveals some details from future episodes: Peter's past will catch up with him, Olivia's sister will make an appearance (played by Ari Graynor), and John Scott's memory will reveal something important. Thanks to Susan and DarkUFO for the scans!

Fringe Episode 113 Title

J.R. "Rick" Orci, the supervising producer of Fringe, leaked this photo of himself and executive producer / show runner Jeff Pinkner pulling an all-nighter. Upon close examination of the photo, you can see the very top of a script, which reveals the episode title "The Transformation"!

This appears to be the title of Fringe Episode 113, based on the date of the script, and a supporting Orci's twitter post.

No word on the Episode 112 title yet...
