"Bones star Emily Deschanel has revealed that she &amp;quot;never even comprehended&amp;quot; the possibility of the show reaching its ninth season. The comedy drama - which was renewed by Fox in January - will return to US screens on Monday, September 16.  Speaking at Fox&amp;#039;s Television Critics Association (TCA) party, Deschanel told Access Hollywood: &amp;quot;I never even comprehended that nine was a possibility in any realm whatsoever. &amp;quot;When I started the show, I thought, &amp;#039;This show could go for three years!&amp;#039; but that was the longest I could possibly conceive of and then, as the show went on, it&amp;#039;s just like - it just keeps going and it blows your mind that it just continues. She added that she feels &amp;quot;blessed&amp;quot; to be a part of the series, which has now run for longer than successful Fox shows 24 and House. Deschanel plays Dr Temperance &amp;quot;Bones&amp;quot; Brennan on the long-running series, alongside David Boreanaz, who plays Seeley Booth.  She explained that the pair&amp;#039;s romance isn&amp;#039;t in a &amp;quot;good place&amp;quot; at the beginning of the ninth season. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s that serial killer stopping us from getting married and Booth has rejected Brennan&amp;#039;s proposal and she doesn&amp;#039;t know why and so they&amp;#039;re really unhappy at the beginning of the season,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;We just filmed the first episode back, so it&amp;#039;s unusual to see these characters in that way.&amp;quot; Earlier this year, Boreanaz confirmed that he considered quitting Bones after its eighth season, but chose to remain on the show after speaking to show bosses about upcoming storylines. Bones airs on Fox in the US and Sky Living in the UK. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
