Yesterday Ashley Gable, one of The Mentalist Writers, was so kind to do another Question&Answer with the fans. She answered some questions about the show (I was lucky enough to see my question answered!), and I did a summary of it: - The new kitchen island. CBI found $ in the budget! :) (Plus we wanted actors 2 b able to face each other in a scene instead of facing the wall while making their coffee - how many scripts we work on at once. Rt now we have about five scripts in various stages of development. - Jane's motel, Lisbon's apt - design decisions made by #BrunoHeller in consultation w/actors/writers/directrs. design decisions - should add we have AMAZING production design team led by Michael Novotny. #HesBrilliant - eps: Bruno will not be credited with another #Mentalist ep until later this season, but he shapes every ep we do. In fact, Bruno is scheduled to write AND DIRECT later this season. #WhichIsAwesome - We have no plans to film in la France anytime soon.
