Tonight’s Pushing Daisies episode featured more Olive Snook than usual - and we loved it. The former jockey and current crusher of Ned proved to be a brave soul and a loyal friend, even to someone she barely considered a friend: Chuck.

Tonight, on Pushing Daisies…

When jockeys start turning up trampled to death, Olive - a jockey in her life before the Pie Hole - hires Ned and the team to investigate. Meanwhile, Ned finds himself haunted by the ghosts of his own past as Halloween nears.

We can only imagine what sort of fun this show will scare up on Halloween. Talk about it now in our Pushing Daisies forum.

Many, many thanks to Kristin from E! Online for the following coup: she tracked down Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller and asked him to personally answer a few questions from fans.

Here are a few samples, full of helpful Pushing Daisies spoilers from the man behind our favorite new show…

Q: Will Paul Reubens be back on Pushing Daisies? I know they recast his original role, but I’m hoping he will show up on the series later on. He’s great.
Bryan Fuller: Paul is back on the set this week, and he’s fantastic. The crew loves him, and he keeps everything light and easy. We introduce Paul’s character in the seventh episode to air, and you’ll see a lot more of him in the back nine episodes.

Q: Kristin Chenoweth and Ellen Greene singing “Birdhouse in Your Soul” was my favorite part of this week’s Pushing Daisies. Any chance we’ll get some more singing in upcoming episodes?
B.F.: I’m so glad you like our minimusical numbers. The next time we have singing will be in an episode called “Smell of Success” that I believe airs in November and features Ellen Greene covering Cat Stevens.

Q: I love, love, love Lee Pace and Pushing Daisies. But I am a teensy bit confused. Does the show take place back in the day or is it just quirky like that? I adore this show and am sooo glad it got picked up for a whole season!
B.F.: We exist in Pushing Daisies time, which is essentially now with a caveat or two. We want the show to have a timeless quality to maintain the fairy-tale feel, which is why you’ll see cars from the ’60s and ’70s mixed in with modern-day jobbies like the Prius.

Q: Does Chuck’s touch not count when she touches Ned’s clothes? My heart just about stopped when I saw her touching his clothes.
B.F.: The touch thing has to be flesh to flesh. So, Chuck can hold Ned’s hand or dance with him or even kiss him as long as there is some kind of barrier preventing their skin from connecting.

For fans of Pushing Daisies, the question isn’t whether or not Anna Friel is adorable; it’s more an issue of how adorable this British actress is in the role of Chuck.

Take a look below, though, and see how closely Friel resembles another star from an ABC series, Lost.

Anna Friel and Evangeline Lily are both beautiful stars from popular ABC shows.

Chuck and Ned can’t touch lips, despite a couple efforts with beekeeper suits on and saran wrap protecting themselves.

But the same can’t be said of Anna Friel and Lee Pace.

During a recent Pushing Daisies fan event, these two actors laid a nice smooch on one another. Check it out and prepare to swoon…

Thank you to those that responded last week to our Pushing Daisies Caption Contest.

There weren’t too many replies this time around, but they all made us chuckle. The winner was submitted by “CODdler.”

Check it out now, below the photo. And remember to come back and play every week!

Vivian: It’s settled. The eye has it.
Lily: That’s not funny.

The fourth Pushing Daisies episode saw ratings dropped a bit, but there was a good excuse for the fall: many viewers were tuned in to FOX to watch Game One of the World Series.

In the end, the show finished a respectable second behind baseball, as 9.45 million viewers tuned in, good for a 3.0/ 8 among adults 18-49 at 8 p.m.

Don’t worry: there’s no way the World Series will still be going on next Wednesday night. The Red Sox will be wrapping it up shortly.

First saran wrap, now beekeeper suits.

Ned and Chuck continue to find ways to touch, as we continue to be amused and entertained by the show. The story moved forward a bit tonight, also, as Olive and Chuck might have a lot to discuss in the near future.

Pushing Daisies has been picked up by ABC for an entire season. And new viewers will quickly see why after watching tonight’s new episode, “Pigeon.”

As always, we’ll publish a detailed recap of the hour after it airs, complete with Pushing Daisies quotes, photos and more.

In the meantime, talk about “Pigeon” and other aspects of the show in our forums!

Pushing Daisies is a show about a man who can bring people back to life.

So it’s hard to imagine the series getting more creative than that - but it’s sure gonna try!

The latest issues of TV Guide Magazine provides a fun look into a couple future episode. For example, the Halloween episode (“Girth”) delves into the backstory of Kristin Chenoweth’ Olive and her previous incarnation as, naturally, a horse jockey.

“Someone’s killing people from her past,” says creator Bryan Fuller,”and she’s on the list.”

In another episode, Ned (Lee Pace) discovers that one of the dead guys he wakes up was killed by on of his four wives; and they were are all dog breeders. Teases Fuller, “Will they be forced to be polygamous because of the circumstances in their relationship?”

From there, a pair of fun guest stars will show up:

• Paul Reubens comes aboard November 14 as “an olfactory expert who smells something very different about Chuck,” Fuller says. “He’ll be our version of the nosy reporter.”

• Molly Shannon appears in a later episode as a woman who opens a saltwater taffy store across from Ned’s pie shop. A rivalry will develop between the two as they try to put each other out of business. A fun, hilarious rivalry, we’re sure.
