"Drop Dead Diva" is back (Season 4 premieres Sun., June 3, 9 p.m. ET on Lifetime) and there's a lot to clear up. Last season's big finale ended with Jane (Brooke Elliott) leaving after she saw Grayson (Jackson Hurst) kissing her best friend Stacy (April Bowlby) -- then Stacy telling Grayson Jane's big secret ("I'm not Deb, Jane is.").

Now the tables have turned a bit: Jane is happy with Owen (Lex Medlin) and Grayson is finally the one pursuing her. But who will she ultimately choose?

I caught up with star Brooke Elliott to get scoop on the new season, the ever-changing love triangle and the rumors that we'll see a big proposal this season.

"I don't know if I could reveal that. That's very secretive!," Elliott said with a laugh. "Maybe the relationship with Owen progresses, but people ... they've got to watch, I can't say."

She also teased that, even though we see Ben Feldman leave at the end of the Season 4 premiere (and we know Feldman has been busy on "Mad Men"), we probably haven't seen the last of Jane's guardian angel Fred. "He might pop up later in the season."

In the meantime, there's a new guardian angel keeping an eye on Jane, and Luke (Carter MacIntyre) is a little more determined to keep her in line. "He is hellbent on making sure that Jane does not tell anybody."

Elliott also dished about guest stars Patty Duke, Joan Rivers and Kim Kardashian ("she was very nice" was all she would say), whether or not Judge Paula Abdul would return ("We haven't had her back this season! Maybe next season we can grab her.") and the surprise actor that she'd love to have on the show.

Watch the interview below and tell us: Are you excited for more "Drop Dead Diva"? Who do you think Jane should end up with?
