‘Mad Men’ season 7: Where can you see Jon Hamm, cast discussing new episodes?

“Mad Men” is not going to return to AMC until April, but who says that you have wait that long to actually see some of the cast members in action?

In case you missed the news earlier, the Paley Center announced today the full roster of panelists that are coming up for PaleyFest in Los Angeles, and there is a bevy of people related to the Matthew Weiner hit who are going to be stopping by for a panel discussion. Specifically here, we are talking about the likes of Jon Hamm, January Jones, Elisabeth Moss, Vincent Kartheiser, Christina Hendricks, John Slattery, and Kiernan Shipka.

Now, what is somewhat interesting about this list is the notable name that is omitted from it: Jessica Pare, otherwise known as Donald Draper’s still-wife-despite-their-problems Megan. Is this a sign that she is not going to be around the show the rest of the way? We really don’t think so, Instead, we see this a little bit more as Weiner being unwilling to really tip his cap one way or another when it comes to what is coming up. The only other explanation? That maybe Pare merely just had another commitment and could not be in attendance. It’s much more interesting to claim that it is the first possibility, though, since we like to imagine Weiner as this sort of brilliant guy who is always a step ahead.

While there may be new episodes discussed, don’t expect any major spoilers. This show is notorious for keeping things under wraps.
