What Can We Expect From Oprah �Eclipse� Episode?

With �The Oprah Win�frey Show� set to air its �Twilight�-themed episode on Fri�day (April 23), we can already imag�ine the talk-show host intro�duc�ing the cast in her trade�mark vowel-hugging inflec�tion: �Taay-LOR LAUT-ner! Kris-TEN STEW-art!� Or maybe, �Ro-BERT PATT-inson!� But Twi-Hards will have to wait until the show airs to find out for sure.

Details about Winfrey�s �Twi�light Saga: Eclipse� show are being as closely guarded as the KFC recipe. What we do know, though, is that fans will get their first look at the David Slade-directed third film in the fran�chise. The unveil�ing was first teased on the offi�cial�Twi�light� Twit�ter account: �Visit our social net�works after to chat live with sur�prise guests from the cast.� The tweet con�tin�ued, �After the trailer launch, stay for a live video chat at 8:15 p.m. ET/ 5:15 p.m. PT with Bryce Dal�las Howard, Nikki Reed and Julia Jones!�

That, of course, seems to imply that Reed (Ros�alie Hale), Howard (who takes over as vam�pire Vic�to�ria in �Eclipse�) and Jones (Leah Clear�wa�ter) will appear on the chat show and then go online after�ward. Who else the Queen of Talk will inter�view from the immensely pop�u�lar vam�pire series remains to be seen.

Even more tan�ta�liz�ing than Oprah�s guest list is the promise of the best glimpse so far at �Eclipse.� The June 30 release recently hit a few speed bumps, as word leaked that addi�tional scenes required re-shooting. A peek at some of the spe�cial effects and character-driven scenes that Ash�ley Greene recently raved about could make every�one for�get very quickly about any anx�i�ety over poten�tial release delays.
