AFTERMATH

The Swan Lake tape was not used in vain as those live are treated to quite a brawl. The CW might've allowed it to keep broadcasting between the CW and ABC stars, but the viciousness in which the CW stars tear into each other as well does not promote the brand unity they'd hoped to showcase tonight. That's because between these dangerous little divas on the CW set, there isn't much.

Nina Dobrev gets to her feet, but runs right into Emily VanCamp, who unleashes a vicious right handed palm slap across her face - regardless of stable solidarity. The first CW-on-CW violence occurs the moment Leighton Meester uses the ring to help herself up and finds herself solidly tackled from behind from Jessica Lowndes, eager to pile on the heartbreak. Candice Accola slides out of the ring, but is bodied up by Shay Mitchell, who attacks her along the ring. VanCamp is pulled off of Dobrev by a resurgent Annalyne McCord, who proceeds to stuff away shots towards her tummy. Dobrev charges towards Troian Bellisario as she gets up, slamming her back against the ring steps with a thud.

Hayden Panettiere and Kristen Kreuk are brawling wildly, but even the ABC stars aren't immune from attacking one another as Lucy Hale and Ashley Benson are rolling around on the carpet once again. That's before they're pulled apart – Kat Graham trying to scissor Ashley from behind and Rachel Bilson yanking Lucy Hale to her feet hard! Ashley Madekwe and Margarieta Levieva are piling on among the bantams – just assisting their ABC co-stars as the ABC solidarity appears to be of some help. But, that's before Willa Holland and Lyndsey Fonseca take a break from beating the hell out of each other to attack Ashley and Margarieta.

Missy Peregrym is in a loud and physical argument with Lana Parilla, while Jennifer Morrison was shoving back Charlotte Sullivan, both of whom were close to coming to blows. Sarah Hyland swept Jessica Lowndes off of her feet, allowing Leighton Meester to pounce atop her, slapping into her cheek repeatedly. Jessy Schram and Megan Ory from Once Upon A Time were not helping matters at all by tangling up with another, then going around in a slapping, squealing heap in the middle of one of the aisles. Elisha Cuthbert waded into the fray – eager to help her ABC co-stars and stablemates – trying to help separate McCord and EVC – but found herself entangled into their fighting instead.

It was left up to security personnel once again to try to break this up, but not with much success. Not only were they trying to separate the ABC and CW stars from fighting – but they were also working to prevent the stars from other networks from trying to get involved as they were also engaging in arguments on the outside. A few of the more aggressive “debates” included Dianna Agron and Naya Rivera from Glee, Katee Sackhoff and Cassidy Freeman from Longmire, Kaley Cuoco (BBT) and Cobie Smulders (HIMYM); Allison Scagliotti (WH13) and Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones), Demi Lovato (X-Factor) and Christina Aguilera (Voice) as well as Joanne Kelly (WH13) and Anna Torv (Fringe).

Things only took a turn for the worse when you added in Cassie Steele and the respective casts of 90210 and the Carrie Diaries. All of them piled on aggressively, leading to renewed efforts by the security personnel, which were increasing by the minute. As the security personnel increased, it seemed so did the fighters. The celebrities were out for one another – the tension brought on by their respective PPVs seemed to have only intensified and deepened their rivalries. ABC and CW stars fought relentlessly as it took quite some time to finally separate and dial things back to at least a controlled chaos. In the end, one of the hardest set of fighters to pull apart was a tangled group of Lucy Hale, Ashley Benson, Leighton Meester, Jessica Lowndes, Hayden Panettiere and Kristen Kreuk. This was nothing compared, however, to having to separate the assembled group of Katie Cassidy, Annalyn McCord, Emily VanCamp, Troian Bellisario, Shay Mitchell, Candice Accola, Nina Dobrev – all of whom were just as interested in fighting each other as they were their network rivals. Even Leighton Meester breaks free and jumps back into the fray. But, eventually, they were pulled apart – clawing, kicking, spitting, slapping and furiously screaming at one another – looking nothing like the celebrities and stars that had been on display early on in the evening's festivities.

It was clear that little had been settled by these respective PPVs, but had certainly led to fresh or in many cases, renewed rivalries between many stars. Once again, security and event staff worked hard to make sure there was no official record of the event, but much like the ABC event, it was common knowledge within the hour. It was a trending topic on Twitter and the subject of numerous YouTube videos, which their networks and stars would work diligently to remove over the next several months. No clear winner emerged, except for both ABC and the CW, who saw their ratings skyrocket for their premiere events, which would hopefully translate into increased viewership for their shows. Who would want to miss shows like Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries, 90210 and others? As Gossip Girl is so fond of saying - “you're nobody until you're talked about.” and after these events, nobody is talking about anything else. It'll definitely be an exciting season of television coming up – and in the FCBA as well!!
