Dressing up on Halloween can make you feel like a different person. If you pretend to be a vampire, or a cowboy, or a sexy nurse, then you take on that role for the night. On 'Parenthood' (Tue., 10PM ET on NBC), a couple plays dress-up for the evening. But then it leads to something real.

[Warning: Spoiler alert.]

After their son goes to bed, Crosby (Dax Shepard) and Jasmine (Joy Bryant) sneak downstairs to chomp on their kid's Halloween candy. They're still wearing their costumes: Crosby is daring stuntman Evel Knievel; Jasmine is Indian maiden Pocahontas.

The pair seems content, like they've recovered from their past history. Jasmine had a son with Crosby, but she kept this a secret for five years. She felt that Crosby was irresponsible and not ready for fatherhood. But now, the couple are back together again.

The set of 'Parenthood' is like a carnival and a three-ring circus combined. The night I was there to chat with the cast, there was also a big crazy dinner celebration at the Braverman house -- you'll see what that's all about next week, although star Joy Bryant did tease "lots of surprises, new announcements." Hmmm ...


Between scenes, I caught up with stars Erika Christensen and Sam Jaeger to find out if Joel will finally get to bring home the bacon, or if Julia will continue to be the breadwinner. And star Monica Potter cast her dream TV parents for Kristina, which includes a very controversial choice to play her dad. Plus, Bryant and Dax Shepard tried to bribe their TV kid with a trip to Magic Mountain.

We also dished about a cute new guy for Haddie and the castmember that everyone wants to have more scenes with ... any guesses? Watch and see the glorious madness that is 'Parenthood.'

In news that was-to-be-expected by fans of NBC's 'Parenthood,' both Joy Bryant and Tyree Brown have been upgraded to full series regulars for the show's upcoming second season, according to The Ausiello Files. Bryant plays Jasmine Trussell, who came into the series early on to reveal to Crosby Braverman (Dax Shepard) that they had a son, Jabbar (Brown).

Throughout the season, Crosby began to connect more and more with his son, and ultimately with Jasmine as well. According to Ausiello, Bryant was upgraded this past spring as her role became more prominent, but little Jabbar's deal was just finalized, meaning the Braverman-Trussell family unit will be complete, albeit in New York.

How do you hide an affair from your own son?

That's the question on 'Parenthood' (Tue., 10PM ET on NBC). Crosby (Dax Shepard) and Jasmine (Joy Bryant) are about to reconnect.

And by "reconnect," we mean "mess around." But when their son Jabbar pounds on the door, they suddenly have to break it off.

[Possible spoilers ahead]

On 'Parenthood' (Tue., 10PM ET on NBC) a father attends his son's birthday party, but things don't go exactly as planned. Absentee dad Crosby (Dax Shehard) shows up for son Jabbar's birthday. But Crosby has missed most of his kid's childhood, and his extended family is not exactly pleased when he arrives at the party.
