Perhaps even more so than 'Game of Thrones' or 'The Walking Dead,' few shows manage to keep as tight lipped about upcoming stories as AMC's critical darling 'Mad Men.' Series creator Matthew Weiner manages to pump an impressive amount of secrecy into a series mostly focused on interpersonal relationships, but what's new of 'Mad Men' season 6? We've already seen photos of an excursion for two characters, but what new (and old) faces will we be seeing around Sterling-Cooper-Draper-Pryce?
The structure of 'Mad Men' seems ever-changing, but with an end to the series on the horizon through a sixth, seventh season of the period advertising drama, it's time to start buckling a few things down. We'd already heard that Jon Hamm closed a lucrative deal to keep Don Draper drinking through the next few seasons, but what of his co-stars? Will Peggy, and most importantly of all, Fat Betty return?
Whoa, Fat Betty. Blam a-lam. 'Mad Men' might rake in the Emmys year after year, but something at Sterling-Cooper-Draper-Pryce just isn't right when none of the series' immense acting talent have taken home the prestigious award for acting, despite multiple nominations. And even if you're not fond of January Jones or Betty Draper Francis, the actress' chances this year might have doubled with her size.
'Mad Men' star January Jones, who gave birth to son Xander in September, has a rather unusual way of dealing with the drain of being both a new mom and a busy working actress: a healthy diet, vitamins, and eating her own placenta.
Wait. What?
