Fans of the Emily Deschanel/David Boreanaz series, Bones, won’t have to worry about their show being cancelled for awhile. FOX has just given the series a two year renewal.

Bones is centered on an unlikely alliance between an FBI agent (Boreanaz) and a forensics anthropologist (Deschanel) and her team. The rest of the cast includes Michaela Conlin, T.J. Thyne, Eric Millegan, Tamara Taylor, Michaela Conlin, John Francis Daley, Patricia Belcher, and David Greenman.

Considering that Bones’ ratings are strong, its seemed odd that the show hadn’t been renewed until now. According to Variety, the holdup was over a common topic these days, license fees.

To no surprise, the FOX network and the show’s studio, 20th Century Fox TV, are owned by the same company. While you might expect that that would make things easier, it actually made for longer negotiations. There are other profit participants involved so there was extra due diligence to make sure a renewal deal reflected the show’s true market value.

When the negotiations were finished, Bones executive producer Hart Hanson confirmed the news to fans via his Twitter account. He later wrote, “Thank you BONES fans for your response to our pick-up. Thank you so much. We are all so gratified. We love working on our show. Thanks.”

The show is expected to return in the Fall and FOX will announce its 2009 – 2010 schedule on Monday.

I am still updating this website so it might be a few days until it is complete again, plus including new screen captures of all TV shows and movies that Michaela has appeared in, it is quite difficult to get hold of.

I have added a new category Talk shows and interviews which I am now currently screen captured.

One of the joys of Angela Montenegro, the character played by Michaela Conlin on the hit crime drama Bones, is that she’s so refreshingly unpredictable. There’s just no telling what Angela, a bohemian artist working in a science lab full of “squints,” will say or do next. She has no inhibitions and knows no boundaries.

“I’m a pretty upfront person in how I live my life,” Conlin says. “But compared to Angela, I’m timid.” Almost anything is possible with her. This season, for example, after breaking off her engagement to Hodgins (played by TJ Thyne), Angela threw everyone in the lab a curve by getting back together with an ex. As in ex-girlfriend.

That was something we didn’t know about her. And now longtime Bones viewers, who have been speculating for years about a romantic future for lead characters Brennan and Booth (Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz), have a second true-love-in-denial relationship to worry about.

“People talk to me about it all the time,” Conlin says. “But to be honest, I don’t know what’s going to happen with the two of them.” New episodes return on Fox beginning at 7 p.m. CT on Thursday, Jan. 15, but don’t expect any immediate answers. That’s not the Bones way. In the meantime, reruns will have to do. The Brennan-and-Booth-in-London two-parter (in which Angela and Hodgins split up) airs at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 31, on Fox.

Then TNT serves up an 18-hour New Year’s Day Bones marathon, beginning at 5 a.m.What were your expectations with this show and with your character when you first signed on in 2005? Did you think you’d still be playing Angela today?“We’ve definitely surpassed all of my expectations. It’s our fourth season and we’re doing better now than we did in the first season. That’s pretty great. It’s kind of amazing when you do a series, because it’s like a living thing. It’s improving and moving and flowing and growing and that’s really what the last four years have been like. My expectations were just that I loved the pilot script.

I had been up for a couple of other shows at the same time and I chose to test for just this one. Thankfully, that decision worked out, because you never know what’s going to last. The pilot of the show was actually called ‘Brennan’ and I remember, the night before, I was talking to my mom, and I said, ‘I just love the way the women speak on this show. They’re really intelligent.’”

Michaela Conlin attended the Los Angeles Premiere of the Universal Pictures release Frost/Nixon held at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills on November 24.

The reveal doesn’t come entirely out of left field ? it had been established that Angela likes her men and her women ? but still, expect some murmuring tonight on Bones (8 pm/ET, Fox), when a beautiful blast from the forensic femme’s past resurfaces. Michaela Conlin shares a peek at whether Angela’s old flame might heat up a reconciliation for her and Hodgins.TVGuide.com:

So… Angela has a girlfriend.

Michaela Conlin: For now, yes. [Laughs] Who knows how long it will last. It’s somebody she dated in college, they had a relationship. And now she’s back for a bit.

TVGuide.com: How hot-and-heavy were Angela and Roxy, back in the day?

Conlin: I’m sure it probably was like any relationship ? I don’t think they were exclusive. It was what it was. But they were together for a little while.

TVGuide.com: You certainly could do worse than Nichole Hiltz, that’s for sure.

Conlin: I know, she’s so lovely. A lovely person.

TVGuide.com: What implications might Roxy surfacing have on the Angela-Hodgins relationship?

Conlin: Anytime anybody shows up from somebody’s past, it’s affecting for both people. But the thing I really like about it is it shows us who Angela was before she even got to this place and this job and into that relationship with him. I think it’s important for them in the long run, if they are to come back together eventually, to see that other part of her. I honestly don’t know what’s going to happen between Angela and Hodgins.

TVGuide.com: It’s probably exciting for you as an actress to explore Angela’s back story.

Conlin: Oh yeah. Angela doesn’t comment on the fact that it was a woman. She just happened to be attracted to a woman. That’s who she wanted to be back then. That’s how she approaches everything.

TVGuide.com: The Angela-Hodgins fans were thrown earlier this season by their sudden break-up, using words such as “random,” “rushed” and “not befitting the characters” to describe it. What’s your take on what went down?

Conlin: Yeah, that’s what I’ve heard people have been saying. I think the strike was definitely difficult on all the story lines that had been up in the air, so that was part of it. I think they rushed to the altar in the beginning anyway. We could have seen more of how the two of them were together.

TVGuide.com: So you’re saying the break-up wasn’t the rushed part, it was the build-up of the relationship?

Conlin: Yes. Personally, I would have liked to see more of them making it as a couple. We may still see it, I don’t know. That’s more of a guess. But I really didn’t feel the break-up was rushed.

TVGuide.com: I’m curious, what will be Angela’s take on Booth’s brother, Jared (played by Brendan Fehr starting Nov. 12)?

Conlin: She likes him. [Laughs] Angela pretty much likes any being that’s in any manner sexual. Look, it’s like having Booth without having Booth. Angela would like to see Brennan and Booth get together, so I’m sure she figures, “Hey, this is the second-best thing.” But yeah, Angela is definitely is a little bowled over when she meets him.

TVGuide.com: Now that Angela’s openness to women has been established, maybe Thirteen from House could crossover for a little romance?

Conlin: [Laughs] I would love that! [Olivia Wilde] is fantastic. I just watched that episode where she brings someone home, and she was great. I love the way they’re approaching that, like it’s not a big deal.

TVGuide.com: Give us one last tease about what’s ahead for Angela.

Conlin: You’re going to see her in a lot of different circumstances this season, being single, I’ll just say that. Being on the open market… it’s going to be an interesting year for her!

Though Michaela Conlin, the 29-year-old star of the TV show “Bones,” likes oatmeal and yogurt in the morning, another trick carries her through the day.“I recently got a juicer,” said the stunner, “and I’m addicted to juicing everything I can get my hands on ? beets, carrots and celery” especially.

Michaela ConlinWednesday, November 29 2006, 15:53 GMTBy Ben Rawson-Jones, Entertainment ReporterWith the second series of Bones underway on Sky One, what better time could there be to catch up with one the show’s stars, in the shape of Pennsylvanian actress Michaela Conlin?For the uninitiated out there, Bones revolves around a team of specialists trying to solve crimes and catch killers based on the clues left behind in the skeletal remains of the victims.Acting alongside David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel in the gory drama, Conlin plays Angela Montenegro – an artist who constructs three-dimensional recreations of a victim’s face from their decomposed remains.We chat to her about life on Bones and whether the gruesome content makes her flesh crawl at all…How has your character changed since the start of Bones?”That’s a good question. Angela has begun a relationship with Jack Hodgins, who’s the bug guy in the lab. I think she’s gone from chasing lots of different men to being chased by one guy, which is a big change for her. Part of her identity in the first season was her going out and partying and experiencing life and trying to bring that in with her. This season the writers and producers are focusing more on her having a relationship within the lab, and the complications that that brings.”
