There's actually the perfect spot for them to insert the story of Smeagol and Deagol in TTT. When they're in the Dead Marshes, Frodo talks about how Gollum was called Smeagol, and Gollum gets this far-away look in his eyes, and he says something like, "Yes... I was called Smeagol once." I was <I>sure</I> they were going to show it then (I'd seen spoiler pics of Smeagol and Deagol in a boat sometime this summer, so I thought it would be in TTT).
