Interview with Isaiah Mustafa and Ben Watkins of “Cross” on Prime by Suzanne 10/29/24

I enjoyed speaking with one of the main actors, and the showrunner, of this great new series. I’ve spoken with the main star, Aldis Hodge, years ago (when he was in “Leverage”). Sadly, I did not get that chance this time.

Hodges stars as Alex Cross, the forensic psychiatrist and detective featured in James Patterson novels (and some movies). Aldis was one of my first one-on-one interviews, so it was memorable. He’s always very nice. I also spoke with him in 2011 and 2012.

Mustafa and Wakins, whom I interviewed recently, also were a joy to speak with. Mustafa is a former football player but has become quite a good actor. He plays John Sampson, Mustafa’s close friend and fellow detective. Ben Watkins created, wrote and executive produced the show. He’s worked on some of my favorites, including “Hand of God” and “Burn Notice”.

These are audio-only, even though I did speak with them on video. I didn’t realize that they were only going to send me the audio until yesterday (that was my mistake for not making sure). Oops!

You should definitely check out this series’ first season, which drops Nov. 14 and has already been renewed for season 2. It is a thrilling drama that everyone should enjoy. It also stars Ryan Eggold (“New Amsterdam”), Alona Tal, and Johnny Ray Gill.

Days Nitpicks & Flubs For The Week Of October 28, 2024

Posted on November 3, 2024 by Michele Johnson

Nitpicks & Flubs

Vivian

Monday

Stefan could be heard talking while Gabi and Javi were shown

How did Ivan and Vivian know that Stefan was at the DiMera mansion? He could have been anywhere in Salem.

Speaking of Stefan, how did Ivan and Vivian get in the mansion without anyone letting them inside?

Tuesday

It’s strange that Steve went to Marlena when he went home instead of going to Kayla.

Cat cried without any tears.

Why did Eric assume that Holly knew about Fiona hitting Sarah when she was in Paris.

Wednesday

Chad didn’t have to go to the police station to talk to Cat. What made him think that she would tell him everything he wanted to hear?

Why did the warden call Steve about Clyde? Why didn’t the warden call someone else to tell them about him escaping?

Thursday

Marlena saw Johnny on his birthday, so why did she give him a present after his birthday?

The blood on the knife that Arrow had looked fake.

Friday

Holly’s phone should have said whether her text message was delivered or read. She would have known if Tate looked at her message or not.

John hasn’t been in Salem, so why did Tate assume that he would have woke him up?

Johnny already slept with Joy, so you would think he wouldn’t tell her everything that happened with Chanel.

Eric and Holly

Days Opinions For The Week Of October 28, 2024

Posted on November 3, 2024 by Michele Johnson

Opinion Article

Gabi and Rafe

Why did the writers decide to add on to Rafe and Gabi’s family again? They don’t have faith in the extended family, so what’s the point of adding more people on to the show? Javi has been added to the show, and we couldn’t care less about his character. There are people walking around on the show without storylines, but the writers wanted to add a new character. They should have given stories to the people on the show. We will try to keep an open mind about him because he just started, but it won’t be easy to do. Days could use more minority actors on the show, so we will see how that goes. We hope that he doesn’t get shoved down our throats.

Vivian was back on the show again. We never mind seeing her on the show because she’s deliciously evil. The show needs a legendary villain on the show whose name isn’t Clyde. Vivian was a character who was able to accomplish whatever she wanted, and she did it again. She’s involved in two storylines. We’re excited to see the legends front and center. She was responsible for keeping Stefan and Gabi apart. The writers were good to keep her return a secret from the audience. In a social media era, that’s practically impossible to do. She’s also involved in Philip’s storyline. They were both written back into the show for this week. We’re not sure how long they are staying on the show. Vivian’s return could help give Kate a storyline outside of Body & Soul. Louise Sorel may not be back long, but she may give the show a much needed boost. Hopefully she will be back on the show for a while. We need a villain like her instead of Clyde doing everything in Salem. Fiona’s character isn’t enough and Kristen is getting stale as a villain. The writers don’t seem to know what to do with her, so Vivian is back just in time.

Johnny, Chanel and Joy’s storyline has the making of a classic soap opera. Johnny and Chanel were on the outs because he called her a cheating slut. He jumped into bed with another woman (Joy) before he found out the truth. Joy came back to haunt him because she’s part of Body & Soul. She’s going to play Chanel’s enemy on the show. They are fighting over the same man. It sounds eerily familiar to their storyline. Johnny was in for a shock when Kate introduced Johnny and Chanel to his worst nightmare. Joy was hired to work on the show. They will be working together on the soap. Johnny wanted Joy to keep their one-night-stand a secret. We know their affair will come out at some point because they always do. She might end up getting pregnant especially since Chanel wants to have another baby (she made that declaration in the trailer for the show).

Tate, Holly, and Sophia also have a triangle brewing. Tate and Holly broke up so that left the door open for Sophia to get the man she wants. She and Tate ended up having sex with each other because he thought his relationship with Holly was over. Apparently, he jumped the gun because Holly wanted to make up with him. She sent him a text to talk, but Tate didn’t see it. He had sex with Sophia before he saw the text. Holly and Tate made up, but that secret night with Sophia is lingering over Tate’s head. Will he come forward and say something to Holly? Will Holly find out because Sophia decided to tell it?

The writers do a Halloween episode every year. We know they want to take a break from their ordinary stories and get away with doing something unusual. They decided to make it related to Body & Soul. It was a waste of an episode because the murder mystery was surrounded by characters who aren’t on the show. We had to watch the characters from their faux soap opera be front and center. It was a waste of a storyline. We love mysteries as much as the next people but there was no need to have it involve characters from Body & Soul. It could have easily featured the characters from Salem.

Days Nitpicks & Flubs For The Week Of October 14, 2024

Posted on October 20, 2024 by Michele Johnson

Nitpicks & Flubs

Fiona and Brady

Monday

Sarah told Fiona that she remembered what happened while she was alone.

Why would Julie tell Steve that Chad went to Paris?

Holly didn’t know Abby, so she had no reason to eavesdrop on her phone call.

Brady suddenly remembered that Fiona was the one who drove the car. He was too drunk to function, but he suddenly remembered everything.

Xander was the only one who saw Fiona taking Sarah out of her room.

Tuesday

Xander could be heard talking while Brady was shown.

Brady gave everyone credit for helping him except for Kristen. She was willing to help him from the beginning. Kristen was the one who moved the car to keep him from staying in jail.

You would think Marlena would want to help Abe with his soap opera. He’s supposed to be her friend, but it took Leo to convince her to help with the show.

Chanel was at the hospital one minute and at the mansion the next.

Speaking of Chanel, she was on the left side of the bed and now she’s on the right side of it.

Wednesday

Mark talked about murdering Chad at the town square. Anyone could have heard him talking about that.

Abby cried without any tears.

Why would Chanel ask Alex to help plan the party? She knows that Johnny is jealous of her relationship with him so why would she ask him to help her? Johnny has a lot of relatives in Salem so she didn’t have to ask Alex to help her plan his party.

Johnny conveniently knew where Alex lived. He never went there before, but he knew where to find him.

Thursday

Chad clearly avoided looking at his phone. He put the picture down and clearly tried to avoid looking at his phone. Chad should have seen the text that Kayla sent him.

Xander cried without any tears.

Fiona was talking while Xander was shown.

Friday

Chad’s phone should have blacked out, but Abby managed to see Kayla’s text to him.

Why does Sophia have to tell everyone her problems? What makes her think anyone cares?

Abby

Days Opinions For The Week Of October 14, 2024

Posted on October 20, 2024 by Michele Johnson

Opinion Article

Holly

Why did the writers make Holly so vital to Chad and Abby’s storyline? She just happened to be listening to Abby while she was on the phone with Mark. Holly never said one word to Abby, but she instantly recognized her. It’s not believable that Holly suddenly spotted Abby while she was in Paris. Needless to say, Holly’s discovery became important later in the week. She confronted Abby about the phone call. It led to Chad discovering the truth about Abby. Chad needed the fall from grace because Jennifer and Steve tried to tell him that she wasn’t Abby. Chad refused to listen to them when they warned him that something was off with Abby. Now he has egg on his face since the truth is out. Let’s get back to Holly. We aren’t thrilled that Holly had to be the one who caused the truth to get revealed. She wasn’t involved in the story at all and suddenly became an important factor in it. Steve should have been the one to cause Chad to see the light. We loved how Steve played Mark and found out he lied about the DNA test. He tricked Mark by giving him DNA that belonged to him and Kayla. We loved how Steve was involved in the storyline. He should have been one of the driving forces of the story since he’s related to Abby.

Does Johnny want to get divorced like his father? He kept making digs about Chanel being with Alex. He saw Alex having sex at the hospital and thought he was with Chanel. There’s no way he could confuse Stephanie with Chanel. Stephanie is a Caucasian woman while Chanel is an African American woman. Each time the flashback was shown, it was easy to see part of Stephanie’s arm. We wondered why Johnny didn’t interrupt them. He stood there and watched them having sex without saying a word. Who would do that? Most people would say something about what they saw. They wouldn’t watch and then walk away. Johnny was making digs about them being together. He thought the worst of Chanel because she told him that she and Alex didn’t rehearse, but he didn’t believe her. It was easier to think the worst of her than approach her about what he saw. Why would Chanel have sex with another man when Johnny could have seen them together? They would have been somewhere more private. If he keeps acting the way he is, Chanel will end up divorcing him.

It’s time to shift gears. We noticed that Xander was being judged for his actions towards Brady. He wanted to get revenge on the person who he thought hurt his wife. There isn’t a man in Salem who wouldn’t want to do what he was willing to do to Brady for hurting Sarah. We knew that Brady was innocent, but Xander didn’t know that. As far as Xander was concerned, he was guilty. Every man reacts the way he did. For some reason, he looked like the bad guy for wanting to make Brady pay for what he did.

Sarah and Brady finally remembered what happened the night of the accident. With help from Eric, they remembered who really hit Sarah. Sarah confronted Fiona about hitting her with the car. We thought that was stupid of Sarah to confront her when she was alone. Sarah was defenseless against Fiona, but she told her that she was going to tell Xander what happened. It wasn’t a surprise that Fiona tried to kill her. Xander showed up in time to stop her from killing Sarah. We were waiting for the revelation to happen, and it finally did. Fiona had to confess to what she did. Xander went off about what she did. He wasn’t over the top with it. Xander talked to her as if he were disappointed in her for destroying his trust. He couldn’t believe that he was gullible enough to fall for her lies. Brady told Fiona off when she was at the station. She tried to explain what she did, but he didn’t want to hear it. We don’t blame him for not wanting to listen to more of her lies.

Primetime TV Review: Happy’s Place

TV Review!

“Happy’s Place” Review by Eva 10/20/2024

Happy’s Place stars Reba Macintire as Bobbie who inherits the bar named Happy’s Place after the death of her father.

Bobbie is stunned when, at the reading of her father’s will, she finds out she has a half-sister named Isabella (Belissa Escobedo) who owns half the bar. The two sisters must get to know each other and run the bar together. The bar has a cast of quirky employees and customers. Melissa Peterman plays Gabby the bartender at Happy’s Place who wishes she was Bobbie ‘s half-sister.

The show has plenty of funny moments, most notably, when Reba and Melissa Peterman are on screen together since they worked together before on the show Reba. They have their comedy timing perfect with each other. The other cast members need more time to work together on their comedic timing. The cast needs time to relax and get into a rhythm with each other.

The show airs Fridays at 8 PM EST/7 PM CST.

I think this is one of those shows that will get better as the season goes on and the audience gets to know the characters in the show.

I give the show 3 out of 5 stars.

Primetime TV Review: Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage

Posted on October 20, 2024October 20, 2024 by Eva Diaz

TV Review!

“Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage Review by Eva 10/20/2024

I miss Young Sheldon, so I was glad to hear that Georgie Cooper (Montana Jordan) and Mandy (Emily Osment) were getting their own show.

Georgie, Mandy and baby CC move in with Mandy’s parents after they get married. Mandy doesn’t get along with her mother Audrey (Rachel Bay Jones) because Mandy’s mother thinks she could have done better than Georgie for a husband and she only married Georgie because he got her pregnant.

A big part of the show is the constant conflict between Audrey and Mandy and how Mandy’s father, Jim ( Will Sasso), tries his best to be the peacemaker between Audrey and Mandy. Georgie is also determined to make Audrey see that he is a good man who loves Mandy very much and would have married her even if she hadn’t gotten pregnant. Young Sheldon fans know that Georgie’s father, George Sr. (Lance Barber), died in the series finale, so Jim becomes a father figure for Georgie, and they have some touching moments in the show. I enjoyed the moments between Jim and Georgie the most.

If you are a fan of Young Sheldon you will enjoy this show very much, but even if you have never seen Young Sheldon, you can still enjoy the show because it stands alone with occasional mentions of characters from Young Sheldon. The audience can get to know Georgie better. I think this show is well written and acted it is worth watching. If you miss it you can stream it on Paramount+.

The show airs on Thursday nights at 8 PM EST/7 PM CST.

I give this show 5 out of 5 stars

TV Review!

“Tracker” Review by Eva 10/20/2024

Tracker stars Justin Hartley as Colton Shaw whose father taught him survival skills and now he uses those skills to find missing people. Colton collects the rewards offered by the police or family members only if he finds the missing person. Colton is also trying to figure out how his father died because he doesn’t think his father committed suicide.

I didn’t think I would like the show because I thought it would concentrate too much on Colton’s survival skills, but it really doesn’t show that too much. Colton has a talent for finding people and reuniting them with their family. If you like solving mysteries this show is worth watching.

I give this show a 5 out of 5 stars.

If you want to watch the show, it comes on Sundays at 8 EST/7 CST.

There are occasions when show times may vary because of sports. If you subscribe to Paramount+, the show can be streamed there the next day.

When Brooklyn gets the idea to have William, the owner of her favorite bakery, cater her scout troop’s posh annual holiday event, she asks Angela to work with him on pitching the idea to the moms in charge.

Primetime TV Review: High Potential

Posted on October 13, 2024October 14, 2024 by Eva Diaz

TV Review!

“High Potential” Review by Eva 10/13/2024

This is a new show based on a French tv show of the same name. The show stars Kaitlin Olson as Morgan a single mother of three children who has an IQ of 160 and she is considered a high potential intellectual which means, among other things, that she notices details other people miss.

Morgan worries a lot about problems and sometimes loses sleep until the problem is resolved. Morgan works as a janitor for the LAPD and one day Selena (Judy Reyes) notices that Morgan has a natural ability to solve crimes. Selena decides to hire Morgan to help the major crime unit. Selena pairs Morgan with Detective Karadec (Daniel Sunjata) who is skeptical of this experiment until Morgan helps him solve a case.

I enjoy these types of crime shows that aren’t too serious while they investigate crimes. They are fun for me to watch, although, other people may like more serious crime shows. I also like serious crime shows, but at times, I like humor mixed with crime solving.

If you enjoy shows like Monk, Castle and, Will Trent, you will like this show. It is well written and interesting to watch how Morgan’s mind works to solve a case.

I give this show a 4 out of 5 stars because the cast needs a few more episodes to find their rhythm. The show goes too fast and the viewers can miss important details in the episode.

The show airs on Tuesdays at 10 EST/9 CST on ABC. You can also stream the show on Hulu on Wednesdays.

Days Nitpicks & Flubs For The Week Of September 30, 2024

Posted on October 7, 2024 by Michele Johnson

Nitpicks & Flubs

Chanel Johnny and Alex

Monday

It’s strange that Johnny imagined his wife making love to another man.

The DiMera mansion must have more than one bathroom, but Chanel chose to take a shower at her mother’s place.

Abe was talking while Bonnie was shown.

Stephanie wasn’t on the phone that long with Jada, but she told Alex so much about Everett being innocent.

Stephanie’s mascara was running down her face one minute and gone the next.

Tuesday

Bonnie cried without any tears.

Kayla could be heard talking while Hattie was shown.

Wednesday

Fiona’s flashback could be heard before it was shown.

Brady was at the police station, but he wasn’t handcuffed.

Eric poured a cup of coffee but there was no smoke coming out of the mug. He also walked out of Xander’s office without drinking the coffee.

Why was it so easy for people to come and go at the police station to visit Brady in the interrogation room?

Thursday

Eric told Holly that Jude was sick. If that were true, he should go home to make sure he’s okay.

Did the writers decide to change Xander and Sarah’s story? He has been there for her, but Maggie made it seem like he hasn’t been there for her emotionally.

If Holly was so worried about Nicole being there for her to help her get into college, why didn’t she move to Paris with her? Holly wanted to stay in Salem, so she shouldn’t be upset that she’s not with her.

Friday

There weren’t any nurses at the hospital. The nurses’ station was completely empty when Rafe was walking around.

Gabi’s wounds healed up very quickly.

Felicity said that Chanel told her that she could leave work early. Chanel should be getting ready to shoot for the soap opera, so it’s not likely she told her that she could leave work early.

Rafe said he was tired of staring at the walls at the hospital. He just got out of the coma recently, so he wasn’t staring at the walls long.

Days For The Week Of September 30, 2024

Posted on October 7, 2024October 7, 2024 by Michele Johnson

Opinion Article

Bonnie and Hattie

Since there wasn’t much movement in the storylines this week, we decided to do something different with the opinions article. We hope that you enjoy it. It may happen again if there’s movement in the stories.

Biggest waste of screen time: The Body & Soul storyline
We have read different message boards and blogs, so we know we’re not alone with this vote. The Body & Soul episodes are such a waste of airtime. The writers are trying to be tongue-in-cheek with this story, but it doesn’t work that well. We give the actors/actresses an A for their effort, but the story doesn’t work with the show. The writers wasted two episodes on Hattie and Bonnie’s fight behind the scenes. They also wasted time on Johnny and Chanel’s argument over her scenes with Alex. The actors are trying their best to make this a fun story, but it’s just a waste of screen time. Diedre Hall and Judi Evans have been involved in better storylines, so this shouldn’t be the only way they get airtime. Unfortunately, the writers won’t show them much without the soap storyline. Marlena gets airtime in psychiatrist mode, but she can do more than that. Johnny and Chanel’s storyline stalled after the death of their child. Are we supposed to believe this is the best they could do with their characters? If that’s the case, they could have written them off the show and sent them to California the way they were supposed to earlier in the year.

Useless triangle: Tate, Holly and Sophia
The writers need fresh stories to tell. They aren’t getting off to a great start with Tate/Holly/Sophia’s storyline. The audience needs new couples to root for, but they didn’t hit the mark with Tate and Holly. Their love story is tainted because she didn’t love him. She was head over heels in love with Johnny and then suddenly fell in love with Tate. They don’t have chemistry since Tate was recast. We couldn’t care less about them being together. For some reason, the writers chose to “spice up” their relationship by including Sophia in their storyline. Tate doesn’t like Sophia, so there’s no story. Characters must be torn to make a storyline work, and Tate doesn’t have feelings for Sophia. The writers are wasting their time with the triangle. Sophia forced a kiss on Tate, but it didn’t matter because he wasn’t interested in her. We shouldn’t have to endure a triangle when there won’t be a payoff. The audience may not care who Tate chooses because the story is boring.

Spoiled Brat: Holly
Holly deserves this award because her behavior has been reprehensible. She lied to Tate, so she could investigate his father and expected him to be okay with it. Tate had every right to get upset with Holly for what she did. She got into an argument with Sophia and slapped her. It was okay when Holly said her peace, but Sophia wasn’t allowed to hit her below the belt. Holly was the one who used Sophia when she knew that she liked Tate first. It’s obvious Holly believes every man in Salem should want her, so it was okay that she went after Tate. Now we’re supposed to cheer her on when she slapped Sophia. We were waiting for Sophia to hit her back, but it didn’t happen. Fast forward to the end of the week and Holly was throwing a tantrum because Nicole left her in Salem to follow Eric to Paris. Did Holly forget that she didn’t want to go with Nicole to Paris? She went on and on about Nicole not being there for her when she could be in Paris.

Biggest Wimp (For now): Brady
Brady talked with Marlena about Kristen and what she was willing to do to help him get out of prison. He seemed like he was torn when Marlena asked if he had feelings for her. We stared at the TV in complete shock. After everything they have been through, why would he want to consider being with her? He needs to clear his head and move on with his life. Brady knew she destroyed his life and took Rachel from him, but he thought about her having feelings.

Convenient plot point: Rolf’s discovery
Rolf conveniently developed something that could help Sarah walk again. Kristen needed to find a way to help Brady by any means necessary, and Rolf suddenly appeared. He came up with something that would make Kristen and the company rich. Kristen asked if it would work for spinal injuries, and he believed it could work for that. The writers had to come up with something to make sure that Sarah could walk again. No one really thought she would remain in a wheelchair. Rolf didn’t try the experiment out yet, so it might not work. Kristen jumped on using it to blackmail Xander into leaving Brady alone. It was very convenient that Rolf was working on something like that because Brady needed a way to get out of what Fiona did to Sarah.

Now Sir has escaped and is on the loose, and her biggest secret is now her biggest threat.

Interview with Bárbara Mori and Fernando Rovzar

TV Interview!

Bárbara Mori and Fernando Rovzar of "Women in Blue" on Apple TV+

Interview with Bárbara Mori and Fernando Rovzar of “Women in Blue” AKA “Las Azules” on Apple TV+ by Suzanne 9/18/24

This is such a wonderful series, and everyone should watch it. It takes places in 1970, when women were encouraged to join the police department in Mexico City, only to find that they’re being used for political reasons. The women then have to prove themselves in the search for a serial killer targeting young women. María, Valentina, Gabina and Ángeles are the focus of the show as we learn about each of them and how they work together. It’s intriguing both as a look back on how women were treated then, and as a riveting police drama. Mori starts as María, so I was delighted to speak with her and Rovzar. He created and wrote the show, as well as directed some of the episodes. I didn’t know (until María mentioned it in this interview) that the two of them are married. I was fascinated to learn more about the creation and filming of show after watching many of the episodes. I hope you enjoy our interview as well! Tomorrow is the series finale, so don’t miss it! It’s worth binge-watching. If you don’t like to read subtitles, and you don’t know Spanish, you can watch it in English (dubbed). They have all of those options for you on Apple TV+, which is great. I prefer dubbed, myself.

Days Nitpicks & Flubs For The Week Of September 9, 2024

Posted on September 15, 2024September 15, 2024 by Michele Johnson

Nitpicks & Flubs

Rafe

Monday

It was daytime on Friday, but it was nighttime in this episode.

Sarah must be a heavy sleeper because she managed not to hear Fiona talking before she tried to smother her with a pillow.

Did the writers forget that Eric isn’t technically Tate’s uncle? We know they want us to believe that Eric and Brady are brothers and that’ fine. The problem is that they forget that Tate is related to Eric through Theresa too. He’s also his cousin.

Sarah heard Xander talking from the door but didn’t hear Fiona talking beside her. She also didn’t hear her grab the pillow and put it on her face.

Fiona’s flashback could be heard before it was shown.

Holly cried without any tears.

Tuesday

Why did Stephanie refer to herself by her first and last name when they were family once?

Why was Rafe lying on his back when Connie stabbed him in the back?

How is Melinda going to the bathroom while she’s tied to Connie’s bed?

Speaking of Melinda, she’s been tied up for days, but her makeup is still intact.

Marlena was Everett’s psychiatrist, but she didn’t show up at the ceremony.

A messenger had legal papers for EJ, but the envelope was open. Did the messenger get curious and decide to open the letter?

Wednesday

Jada knocked on the door a few times, but the door suddenly opened on its own.

Connie’s pocketbook looked empty. It was as flat as a palm when she took her knife out of her bag.

Paulina took a long time to get help when Rafe woke up. She also could have pushed his buzzer instead of leaving his room to look for Kayla.

Abby shouldn’t have talked to Stefano’s portrait out loud when she knew she could have been caught.

Thursday

The bruises on Sarah’s face were cleared up.

Brady conveniently didn’t hear Fiona admit that she was the one who hit Sarah. She practically screamed the confession, but he didn’t hear what she said.

Kristen was clearly showing her tablet to the camera because she had it tilted to the side while she read it.

Friday

How come there was no one else in the office at Brady Black? It looked like Brady was the only one who worked there.

Marlena could be heard talking while Fiona was shown.

Brady didn’t want to risk both of Rachel’s parents being in jail, but he was okay with Tate’s parents going to jail.

Holly wasn’t helping Sarah, but she knew she was having trouble getting around in her wheelchair.

Melinda and Connie

Days Opinions For The Week Of September 9, 2024

Posted on September 15, 2024 by Michele Johnson

Opinion Article

Holly

We may be in the minority, but we are having trouble believing Holly’s anger about what Eric did to Daniel. For those who are new to the show, Eric was driving drunk and killed Daniel. It’s understandable that Holly would be upset that she was lied to about her father’s death, but we don’t buy it. Her acting isn’t genuine at all. Holly didn’t know Daniel so it’s hard to believe that she cared that much. Before you get shocked by what you read, please continue reading. Holly knew Eric as a father figure and now she’s treating him like dirt. She was raised by her mother her entire life, but she treated her like dirt. Maybe we’re being heartless, but we don’t feel her pain at all. We lost our father (R.I.P Daddy) so we know how that feels, but we were raised by our dad. She never knew Daniel, so her bitterness doesn’t feel genuine. Instead of cheering her on, we were rolling our eyes at her. Holly was right to get upset with Eric for the lie. She didn’t seem torn about her feelings at all. Holly went from zero to sixty with nothing in between. She was willing to hate Eric instantly without saying that she loved him, and he hurt her. We don’t feel sorry for Eric because he’s not a saint, but it’s hard to sympathize with Holly.

Speaking of Holly, she didn’t care about Sarah at all until she found out that Brady was accused of hitting her while he was drinking. She didn’t say two words to Sarah after she helped her recover from her drug overdose, but now we’re supposed to believe that she cares so much about Sarah’s accident. We know that she only cared because she felt guilty for her role in the accident. She also wants to take her anger at Eric out on Brady. When did Holly because the moral police? If she and Tate weren’t sneaking around the accident might have been prevented. Fiona might have hit someone else that night because Sarah wouldn’t have been on the road that night to get the keys for the cabin. She wants to help EJ prosecute Brady for the hit-and-run accident. Holly was willing to forgive EJ for what happened even though he knew what Eric did to Daniel. She should be mad at everyone who kept the truth from her, but she was mad at Eric and Tate. We know the writers must give Holly and Tate something to do now that Theresa and Nicole were written out, but this was ridiculous. Holly targeting Tate’s father won’t help them be a couple.

Speaking of Tate and Holly’s relationship, let’s briefly talk about the slant the writers put on Sophia’s character. For some reason, the writers chose to make her the villain in the story. She was the one who liked Tate first when Holly had feelings for Johnny. For some reason, she looks like a schemer since plotted against Holly and Tate to cause trouble. Holly kept the truth from her that Tate didn’t want her, but she looks like she’s suffering because of her. We want to see what Sophia does to Holly and Tate since they went behind her back and hooked up.

Stefan might be getting his karma for what he did to Chad. He was upset that EJ slept with Gabi. Did he forget that he did the same thing to Chad? Stefan’s actions are supposed to be okay because he didn’t know about Abby’s DID, but he still had an affair with her. Fast forward and he’s upset that Gabi slept with EJ. We think he got what he deserved when EJ did the same thing to him. Gabi didn’t have to jump in bed with his brother, but he knows how that feels. For some reason, Johnny judged EJ for being with Gabi. He understood why Stefan slept together, but he thought it was wrong for him to be with Gabi.

Is anyone else ready to throw something at Brady whenever he’s shown? We know that we are. His family wants to help him, but he insists on being punished. He thinks that getting punished will make up for what he thinks he did to Sarah. Earlier in the week, he wanted Ava to keep the fact that she saw him with Fiona quiet. We don’t understand why he would do that when that would prove he could be innocent. He insisted that she didn’t tell anyone that she saw him with her. It didn’t make any sense because he didn’t remember hitting Sarah and that could explain it. He’s trying so hard to be a martyr in the story. We know that he’s innocent, but he doesn’t know. His family has to beg him not to plead guilty because he would lose his family. He knows he has people who want him around, but he refuses to listen to them.

Fiona should feel bad for what she did to Sarah and Brady. She just made up with Xander, and she’s going to ruin her relationship with him again. Fiona hit Sarah and didn’t say anything about it. She allowed was willing to smother Sarah to keep her from talking about what she did. If she cared about her son, she wouldn’t have tried to kill his wife twice. She also allowed Brady to take the fall for her crime. Fiona told Xander and Sarah not to pursue Brady because it’s not worth it. If you committed the crime, you wouldn’t want them to pursue it either.

Interview with Tim Rozon, Melanie Scrofano and Emily Andras of “Wyatt Earp: Vengeance” on Tubi by Suzanne 9/5 and 9/10/24

I just love chatting with these actors, which I’ve done several times now; it was great to also meet Emily (the creator/writer). They’re all extremely nice and fun. Emily has an amazing enthusiasm that I’ve rarely seen in anyone I’ve talked to, let alone a writer, producer or showrunner. Don’t miss Tim and Mel’s return to this delightful universe that Emily created. I hope this special is very successful, so that they can do another special, movie or TV series. You should be able to enjoy it even if you’ve never seen it before, I’m told. I apologize that the videos are on speaker mode and not gallery like usual… This was some glitch with the PR and not with me! I always prefer gallery mode. Enjoy!

Interview with Lea Thompson, Schuyler Fisk, Genevieve Angelson and Wendie Malick of “The Chicken Sisters” on Hallmark+ by Suzanne 8/19/24

These were two fun interviews! I was so glad to speak to the legendary actresses, Wendie and Lea, whose work I’ve enjoyed so much over the years. The other two young actresses also do a great job in the show. Everyone was very nice. Fun fact: Schuyler Fisk is the daughter of movie star Sissy Spacek! Anyway, the show is not only funny but heart-warming. However, it’s not sappy or saccharine. I enjoyed the episodes I’ve seen so far. Hallmark is starting their first streaming channel, Hallmark+, and this is one of their first original series on it. You can only watch this series on Hallmark+. It begins Tuesday, Sept. 10, and new episodes will premiere every Thursday beginning on September 12. I hope you enjoy the series as much I do! It’s worth adding another streaming service for this. You can always try it with the free trial and see if you like it.

"The Chicken Sisters" key art - Sisters Amanda and Mae reunite when reality show “Kitchen Clash” comes to their town of Merinac, heating up the competition between their feuding fried chicken restaurants – and families. Based on the NY Times bestseller and Reese’s Book Club selection of the same name.

Sisters Amanda and Mae are reunited when reality show KITCHEN CLASH comes to their town, and the competition between their two feuding restaurants heats up. Starring Schuyler Fisk, Genevieve Angelson, Lea Thompson and Wendie Malick.

About THE CHICKEN SISTERS

The Chicken Sisters is a new original series based on the NY Times Bestseller of the same name and Reese’s Book Club selection penned by KJ Dell’Antonia. Coming home to roost on Hallmark in September, the eight-episode series from Showrunner and Executive Producer Annie Mebane stars Schuyler Fisk (Sam & Kate, Orange County), Genevieve Angelson (The Handmaid’s Tale, Good Girls Revolt), Lea Thompson (Switched at Birth, Back to the Future) and Wendie Malick (Young Sheldon, Shrinking, Just Shoot Me!).

The Chicken Sisters is a family drama dipped in southern charm and served up with a saucy side of romance. The setting is the fictional town of Merinac, where a generations-old rift between dueling fried chicken restaurants – Mimi’s and Frannie’s – has left the founders’ families fractured and the locals taking sides. When popular cooking competition show Kitchen Clash comes to town, this could be the recipe for ending this feud once and for all. But things are fixing to heat up both inside and outside of the kitchen as the reality show spotlight causes sparks to fly as secrets are spilled and feathers get ruffled.

The series will premiere in September on Hallmark’s recently announced streaming service and membership rewards program, Hallmark+.

In 2005 he played the title role of Pan (as well as the nightmare character known as The Pale Man) in Guillermo del Toro’s Oscar-winning Spanish language fantasy/horror feature “Pan’s Labyrinth.” But it was his sensitive and elegant performance as Abe Sapien in del Toro’s 2004 box office hit “Hellboy” that brought Doug’s unique work to a wider audience. He went on to voice that same character for the Emmy-nominated Cartoon Network animations “Hellboy: Sword of Storms” and “Hellboy: Blood and Iron.” In 2007 Doug’s title role performance in “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer” was hailed by fans and critics alike. 2008 saw Doug reprise his starring role (as well as two other characters) in “Hellboy II: The Golden Army,” once more under the direction of del Toro.

Days Of Our Lives Nitpicks & Flubs For The Week Of August 19, 2024

Posted on August 26, 2024 by Michele Johnson

Opinion Article

Kayla and Steve

Monday

Kayla told Steve about Sarah’s condition. We’re pretty sure she wasn’t supposed to do that.

It’s hard to believe that Jack didn’t have time to call Steve to let him know that Jennifer was in town. Why didn’t Steve go with them to meet Abby?

Melinda was stupid to go to Connie’s place by herself when she fired her. She may not know what Connie did, but she should have had someone with her when she went to Connie’s place.

Chad managed not to hear all of Abby’s conversation.

Connie was yelling at the Li stand, but Melinda didn’t hear her talking.

Melinda drank the tea that Connie offered to her. You would think that she wouldn’t have drunk it since she fired Connie.

Tuesday

Johnny was making a movie about Marlena, but he didn’t realize that Hattie wasn’t his grandmother. He should have realized who she was because Hattie doesn’t dress like Marlena.

Chanel suddenly hired people to work at Sweet Bits. The place barely reopened, and she suddenly had the staff that she’s bored.

Kate conveniently knew where to find Leo. She doesn’t visit him, but she was able to find out where he was staying.

Wednesday

Brady had a visual flashback of his conversation with Fiona. They were on the phone, so he shouldn’t have seen her face.

Fiona talked about what she did to Sarah, but Xander managed not to hear it.

Sarah’s bruises looked different. At the start of the episode, she had more bruises, but they were gone later.

Thursday

Who told Doug about Jennifer’s meeting with Abby? Why wouldn’t anyone tell Julie first?

Why would Abby talk to the mystery person in the living room? Anyone could have heard her.

EJ managed not to hear everything that Abby said on the phone.

How much of the drug did Melinda drink when she didn’t die, but Everett passed away from it?

EJ told Abby about Chad’s brothers, but he forgot to include Peter and Benjy. He mentioned Andre and Tony, so he could have mentioned them as well.

Friday

Abby has more clothes than she had when she arrived in Salem.

Fiona’s flashback could be heard before it was shown.

Sarah’s bruises looked like they were almost healed up.

Sarah referred to Tate by his first and last name to Xander as if he didn’t know him. Did she forget they are related?

Melinda

Days Opinions For The Week Of August 19, 2024

Posted on August 26, 2024 by Michele Johnson

Opinion Article

Ava and Stefan

Gabi confronted Stefan and Ava about their affair. She gave them the rope to hang themselves by giving them a chance to come clean. Stefan chose to deny it until the end. Gabi dropped the bomb on them by saying that Kristen confirmed what she suspected. We aren’t invested in Gabi and Stefan’s story, but we enjoy watching drama unfold. She yelled at them and was ready to fight Ava. We love a good cat fight, so we enjoyed watching Gabi go after Ava. Gabi planned on getting revenge on Stefan and Ava, so we’re ready to watch what she does. Hopefully watching the revenge unfold will hold our interest. The new Gabi knows how to do confrontation scenes. She needs work when it comes to regular dialogue, but she’s pretty good when it concerns making a spectacle of herself.

We find it hard to believe that Melinda is supposed to be a former D.A. She didn’t have to Salem brain. She chose to fire Connie by herself. Most of us know that managers won’t let you go by themselves. They want to intimidate employees by ganging up on them. She chose to go to her place by herself. We don’t have to be psychic to know that Melinda didn’t tell anyone except Ava about being at Connie’s place. She loses more points in the brains department because she drank Connie’s tea. Connie offered her tea after she fired her, and she drank it. Melinda wasn’t smart to do that. Would you drink something after you fired someone? Is it wise to drink tea when the person who offered it to you didn’t drink any of it?

Is anyone else sick and tired of Connie getting away with everything? We know that we are tired of it. She was able to drug Melinda’s tea, and she drank it. Connie also decided to be a talkative killer. She told Melinda everything about how she felt about Gabi and Stefan. Connie conveniently knew that Melinda didn’t tell anyone about being at her place. Melinda made that easy for her by not telling anyone. She was able to keep her captive without anyone knowing what she did. We can’t stress enough that we don’t believe that the actress playing Connie is good enough to keep portraying the character. She may be a fan of the show, but that doesn’t mean that she should have a big role in it. The actress needs more acting lessons if she’s going to pull off a big story like that.

Brady needs to stop drinking so much. He wouldn’t be in the mess that he’s in now if he didn’t drink. Fiona framed him for what happened to Sarah. She hit Sarah and paralyzed her. Fiona put Brady in the driver’s seat because she didn’t want to take the fall for what she did. If he didn’t get drunk, she wouldn’t have been able to set him up for the hit-and-run. Speaking of Fiona, we are getting tired of watching her get away with what she did. She isn’t being subtle with the things she’s done. Fiona speaks loudly, but no one hears anything. Xander will make him pay once he finds out that he was involved in the accident. Someone managed to take Brady’s car from the townhouse, so he would have to deal with someone else knowing what happened. We have a feeling Kristen was the one who moved the car, but we’ll see.

Why are the writers wasting their time with the Body & Soul storyline? The story is a waste and doesn’t need to be added to the show. It’s clearly for comic relief purposes, but it’s a waste of time. Too many cast members are going to be involved in this story, but it doesn’t work. Abe is acting like he’s the only one in charge of the show. Everyone suddenly wants to be an actor or involved in the show in some way. We get that the show feels heavy right now, but they don’t need this story to feature an ensemble. Hopefully the show doesn’t get dominated by this storyline.

Fiona and Brady
