"It’s not a stretch to call the characters on Empire duplicitous,” says Dave Schilling. "This is a soap opera, after all. On soaps, people lie like dogs lick themselves: whenever they have a free moment and a bit of privacy. But other than The Sopranos, I can’t think of a series more preoccupied with the unassailable benefit of deceit and the code of the streets. Lies, and the consequences of duplicity, are the fuel that makes this show move forward.” PLUS: Wendy Williams wants Terrence Howard booted off Empire, and Lee Daniels addresses Cookie's J.Lo diss.
