Psst! Don’t let it get out, but production has just started on the third season of Paradise Falls, the wacky sendup of TV soaps begun in 2001. But who of the cast will be back?

Filming starts at the Sullivan Films backlot off Eglinton Ave. E., and then cast and crew are off to cottage country for exterior shots.

Signed, Sealed: ABC executives are hinting The View is that much closer to signing Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd (Less Than Perfect, The Wedding Bells) to the two vacant positions. Both comics would bring large dollops of humour to the proceedings without the angst caused by Rosie O’Donnell.

Add This Up: Danica McKellar, who played Winnie on The Wonder Years, is hoping to keep girls from imitating the antics of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan with her book Math Doesn’t Suck. The actor, who’s also a mathematician, wants to tell girls that “cute and dumb isn’t as good as cute and smart.”

Out of the Woods: When Men in Trees comes back for its second season, a brand new episode will be followed by five episodes still left over from last season. Things rev up on Oct. 12. “We’re hopeful we’ll get some new people watching,” says producer Jenny Bicks.

Shorts: Edward Herrmann has signed for a recurring role on Grey’s Anatomy, his first TV work since guest-starring all those years on Gilmore Girls. Herrmann won an Emmy for a similar guest gig on The Practice.
