Wolfe is also well known from her lead role in Oscar winner Anders Walter’s “I Kill Giants.” Rotten Tomatoes names Madison’s “powerhouse performance” as troubled teen Barbra Thorson one of the highlights of the film.

Most recently, Wolfe can be seen playing Tessa Mayfair opposite Alexandra Daddario in AMC’s “The Mayfair Witches.” She has completed production for her next true crime thriller, Warren Skeel’s “Man in The White Van.” Set in 1974, Wolfe portrays the lead role of Annie Willains: a free spirited teen from a small town in Florida who becomes the obsession of a horrific stalker. Being a musician, Wolfe also wrote and recorded an original song for the film’s soundtrack to be released. The film is not yet rated.

Gavin Warren is an American model and actor. As a child he played the piano and did gymnastics before, inspired by Adam Sandler, he decided he wanted to become an actor.

Days Nitpicks & Flubs For The Week Of December 2, 2024

Posted on December 8, 2024 by Michele Johnson

Nitpicks & Flubs

Jennifer

Monday

Jennifer cried without any tears.

How did Liz know where to find Marlena? The last time she was in Salem Marlena was staying in the house with Roman. How did she know to find her at the townhouse?

Jennifer couldn’t imagine waking up without the person you love sleeping next to her. Did she forget there was a time when she thought Jack was dead? He also abandoned the family, so she spent plenty of time with her bed empty.

Who told Liz about what happened to Doug? Liz hasn’t been in town since 1986, so who would have called her to tell her about Doug?

Liz wore a fur coat, but she didn’t have it closed. It couldn’t be that cold in Salem. Maggie and Marie were sitting outside at the town square as if it were spring, so it wasn’t that cold there.

Tuesday

Why didn’t Marie visit Julie right away? She was at the town square when she came back for Julie.

Ciara’s dress was inappropriate for her grandfather’s funeral.

Belle was wearing a jacket when she and Marlena walked through the town square, but it was off when she was shown at the church.

Why was Marlena in the front row at Doug’s funeral, but most of Julie’s family was sitting in the back?

Why didn’t Sarah go to Doug’s service? She’s walking now so she should have been able to go to the service.

Wednesday

Would anyone miss their family’s funeral because they were too sick to go? Claire was conveniently sick and couldn’t go to Doug’s funeral. She should have been there to say goodbye.

Why did Leo assume that Steven was in town for Doug’s funeral when he didn’t know he was related to Julie? Steven could have been in town for any reason.

Ciara and Jennifer didn’t know Steven, but they were sure he wouldn’t steal Alice’s diamonds.

How did Doug III know his way around Salem? He just got out of jail, but he knew how to get to St. Luke’s.

Thursday

Hope didn’t have flowers when she showed up at the Horton house but had them when she went to the cemetery.

Ciara had to text Shawn to let him know that Hope was in town. Hope could have reached out to him.

Jennifer wanted to give Hope a ride from the cemetery. How did Hope get there when she arrived alone? What was supposed to happen to the car Hope drove?

Friday

Would it hurt Alex to put a shirt on occasionally? He always answers his door without a shirt on.

What made Cat think that Chad would care about her mother and not what happened to Abby’s remains?

Doug Funeral

Days Opinions For The Week Of December 2, 2024

Posted on December 8, 2024 by Michele Johnson

Opinion Article

Doug and Julie

This was a sad week for the Hortons as well as the fans of the show. As you know, Bill Hayes (Doug) died at the end of last year. The show has finally written his death into the show. Jack tried to wake Doug up last week, and he found out that he passed away. It rocked everyone’s world when they found out the news. The audience finally get the chance to see the cast react to what happened. We had to wait a long time to see the Hortons’ reactions to the news. The show focused on Doug’s passing for most of the week. We will talk about our thoughts about the tribute to the actor and the character.

The writers decided to bring people back for Doug’s funeral. Liz (Gloria Loring). Marie (Maree Cheatham), and Steven (Stephen Schnetzer) back to the show. They are characters who haven’t been on the show since the 80s. We weren’t watching the show when they were front and center so it was strange to see new people. It was nice to see them again. We give the writers a thumbs up for including some history for those of us who didn’t watch the show during that time. Liz and Marie had a soapy history because of an affair. Liz slept with Marie’s husband back in the day. We would have loved to see that story unfold. Checking YouTube would be a great idea to find out the history between the characters. They still have heat between them, and they exploded on each other during the service. It may not have been the right time, but it was a break from the grief. We do have a nitpick about what happened between them. For some reason, Maggie expected them to move on from what happened between them. She was with Neil too, so why weren’t they mad at her? She’s supposed to be family to Marie, but she was with Neil too. If we’re mistaken about that, we are sorry. We weren’t watching the show at the time so we could be wrong about that.

As we mentioned in the previous paragraph, Steven was brought back to the show. He’s Julie’s brother. We have never seen him on the show. We didn’t know that Julie had a brother. He came back to help Julie. Who told him about Doug? Why would anyone call him when he hasn’t been in touch with Julie? He became involved in a mystery. The Hortons accused him of stealing Alice’s necklace from the time capsule. He felt like he had a right to the necklace because it belonged to his grandmother. It’s strange that he felt like that when most of the people at the Horton house were related to Alice. We don’t know if Steven is going to stay in Salem now that the funeral is done. If he doesn’t stay, it was good to see the actor on a soap opera again. If you ever watched Another World, it would be a treat to get a chance to see him on TV again.

Jack, the right Jennifer (Melissa Reeves), Shawn, Belle and Hope were back too. They have been on the show, and it was great to see them back. It has been a long time since Melissa Reeves has been on the show, and it was a breath of fresh air to see her playing Jennifer again. She was the actress who worked with Bill Hayes so it made sense to have her come back to say goodbye to his character. Reeves has chemistry with Matthew Ashford so she is the one who should be back any time they write Jennifer back into the show. It felt like no time went by when she returned to the show. We know that she won’t be back when the character returns, but it was amazing to see her back on screen. Hope is one of our favorite female characters on the show. She’s one half of our favorite supercouple (Bo/Hope). We were cheering when we heard the news that she was returning to say goodbye to Doug. There’s no way that she would have missed seeing Doug when she was his daughter. We are grateful the writers decided to bring her back instead of having the character be in another room. It was great to see her back on the show. She and Peter Reckell (Bo) are truly missed as part of the show. We are looking forward to them being back on the show next year. To get back to Hope, she was suspicious of the guy who claimed to be Doug’s grandson. She asked the right questions about him. The man did show up out of the blue claiming to be Doug’s grandson. We already went through a con job with the fake Abby. It looks like we’re dealing with it again. Hope wanted to know if someone talked to Charles (her half-brother through IVF) to find out if he had a kid named Doug. It’s hard to believe she was the only one who thought to call him. Shawn and Belle are back on the show too. They have been missed too. The show needs more characters their age on the show. They are breaking up and dealing with the aftermath of that. The writers are keeping them for a long-term storyline.

Did anyone else feel the tears falling when Julie spoke about Doug? It had to be hard for the actress to get through the scenes when she was married to Doug in real life. He was more than just a TV husband. Bill Hayes was her world. Susan Seaforth-Hayes did an amazing job with the material. She nailed all the emotions a grieving widow should have during her time of grief. The actress made us feel her pain. We couldn’t stop crying watching her pour her heart out to the man she loved for the majority of her life. The writers gave her a chance to express how she felt about losing the love of her life.

We’re not sure how we feel about the stranger who approached Julie. He introduced himself as Doug’s grandson. We needed the writers to utilize the history of the show to explain the connection. The storyline needed exposition because we didn’t think Doug had a son. Jennifer and Hope suddenly remembered that Doug had a child through IVF. It’s something that’s never been discussed while we were watching the show. The reveal happened after he passed away. It’s good that Doug’s death allowed another story to develop, but the story has holes in it. How did Doug III know to find the Hortons? Where has he been all this time? What happened to his father? Did he know Doug? Who told him that Doug died? We could probably come up with more questions, but we’ll stop there.

We know that we talked about the funeral a lot in this article, but it was the focus of the week. It’s time to shift gears. EJ decided to pay Joy to leave town so Johnny wouldn’t have to live with the guilt of seeing his mistress around town. For some reason, Johnny didn’t want him to pay for her to leave town. Did he enjoy her being there? Why would he want her to stay in town? He might enjoy the attention he received from her. Joy agreed to leave town. She told Alex that she was leaving, and he got upset. Alex wasn’t involved in the situation, so why would he care if she left town? Did he like the idea of Johnny squirming whenever Joy was around? Alex went to Johnny, and they got into an argument about it. Chanel walked in and heard the end of the argument. We weren’t surprised that she didn’t hear the important parts of the argument. It seems like the writers want to dumb Chanel down for this storyline to work. We think she may know what happened between Johnny and Joy and that’s why she makes so many comments about him being faithful. Is it possible that she’s giving him the rope to hang himself with it? Chanel goes out of her way to mention that he didn’t cheat on her. It feels like she’s waiting for him to confess to what he did. If he wanted to do that, he should have talked to her about it. She still would have been mad about what he did, but the extra lies wouldn’t have been attached to it.

"Earth Abides" banner

Interview with Alexander Ludwig, Jessica Frances Dukes, Aaron Tveit, Todd Komarnicki and Kearie Peak of “Earth Abides” on MGM+ by Suzanne 11/20/24

This is a very exciting 6 part miniseries on MGM+. I hope you can watch it because it’s fascinating. Although it takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, it’s not too gross, gory or depressing. The acting is very good. Alexander Ludwig stars as “Ish,” a man who survives the pandemic that has destroyed most of the world’s population. Then he finds a wonderful woman, Emma (Jessica Frances Dukes), and they start their life together. Other people find them, and they start re-building the world. It’s got a very positive message about the future of the world, how people can adapt and get along, and about how the earth can heal. It was great to speak with the two stars, Ludwig and Dukes, as well as Aaron Tveit, who plays a pivotal character named Charlie, and the show’s creators and showrunners. The series is based on an old scifi book but modernized. I think they did a great job. We put up Tveit’s interview later because there are spoilers in it.

About ‘Earth Abides’

In “Earth Abides,” when a plague of unprecedented virulence sweeps the globe, the human race is all but wiped out. In the aftermath, as the great machine of civilization slowly and inexorably breaks down, only a few shattered survivors remain to struggle against the slide into extinction. The series is based on George R. Stewart’s classic sci-fi novel of the same name.

A Note from Todd Komarnicki (Executive Producer/Writer/Showrunner)

Earth Abides was ahead of its time. George Stewart’s novel, despite being written in 1949, has cohered brilliantly with our current moment. Long before nature began to suffer at the hands of man’s inability to live in harmony with her, Stewart knew that the Earth never needed us. We are more of a pestilence she has survived. As the world within the novel starts over, the earth has a chance to reassert herself. It is now man who must be the survivor. But what if those chosen to be humanity’s second chance aren’t suited for each other or the task at hand. They are a mixed blend of personalities, the kind that might have never joined forces prior to the apocalypse. But the life altering thing that they all discover…is that their differences might become the only thing enabling them to persevere. The story is a stark reminder that our differences should not separate us but unite us. A lesson we could all pay closer attention to in these times so riven by strife. Alexander Ludwig (Ish) and Jessica Frances Duke (Emma) in "Earth Abides" - photo from MGM+ press site

When adapting this novel for television, it was Stewart’s brilliant story that remains the infrastructure for keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. We shed new light through a deeper level of intimacy introduced in our show. While the intent of the original remains untouched, the tenderness and vulnerability of its characters and their journey over the years has been heightened in a fundamental way. Showing that journey of over twenty years together without losing the narrative thread and the audience’s connection to the characters was one of the biggest challenges we faced in the adaptation. Letting the series be guided by Ish’s own voice and the characters sharing their story not only kept the narrative intact but made them relatable and deeply human. That human aspect is what I hope audiences connect with most. The show lives in the shadow of a society torn down to cobblestone, but that is just the stage for a thrill ride that is utterly human. It is full of perseverance but also doubt, rage, addiction, murder and rebirth. No matter how dark the road gets for these characters, there is always a sliver of light calling them forward…love. What I hope audiences take away from our show is that love…really does win.

Days Opinions For The Week Of November 18, 2024

Posted on November 24, 2024 by Michele Johnson

Opinion Article

Rafe and Jada

The writers decided to start two whodunnits. Someone poisoned cupcakes for the cast and crew of Body & Soul. We could stop right there in case we lost you. Please try to stay with us while we talk about this mystery. Some members of the cast ate the cupcakes and got sick. Roman also got sick from the cupcakes. The person’s identity wasn’t revealed to the audience. We have a theory about who did it. It’s not set in stone because the person didn’t get revealed. We think Hattie is the culprit. She put a curse on the show for killing off her character. No one else had a reason to go after the cast and crew. The only people who got sick (except for Roman) are pat of the show. It’s not hard to figure out who could have done it. We do have a question about it. How did Hattie (or the culprit) know Abe’s address? She hadn’t been there before so how did she know to send the cupcakes to him?

The other mystery that unfolded was the identity of the new Lady Whistleblower. Leo found out that his storylines were revealed in Lady Whistleblower’s column. He accused Javi of being the person who spoiled the show. It’s not too hard to believe that he would do that since he saw him looking at his laptop when they were together. Leo jumped to the wrong conclusion and accused Javi of spoiling his storylines. We think Lady Whistleblower is Gwen. She’s coming back to the show and has the biggest motive for wanting to ruin his show. He betrayed her by sleeping with Dimitri, and she didn’t forgive him for it. She would do anything to make sure that Leo paid for what he did to her. It’s understandable that she would want to pay him back for what he did to her. His conscience got to him once they were about to get caught. Gwen probably still owns the paper, so it’s not hard for her to create the stories. The hole in our theory is that she had no way of knowing what he was writing for the soap opera. It’s convenient that she would be able to hack into his computer, but he didn’t have the job before she left town. There’s no way she could have known he was writing storylines for the show. We have a feeling we are right so you heard/read it here first.

Rafe was kicked in his stomach when he found out he wasn’t getting his job back as commissioner. It’s a slap in the face to him when he was hurt on duty. Rafe dedicated his life to the force only to get treated as if he didn’t matter. We’re not surprised that he was disappointed and angry about the news he received. Paulina was cold about telling him that Jada was keeping his job. She should have showed compassion about dropping that bomb on him. The woman can’t make a decision without causing problems for someone. He didn’t get hurt by playing around on the job. Rafe was investigating what happened to Abby and got hurt. It’s not fair that he lost his job because he was hurt. Roman put the idea in his head to sue the department. It’s the right decision to make because he was unfairly demoted. Roman wasn’t the person to tell him that because he’s Abe’s best friend. Jada thought Rafe should keep the job as detective. What made her think that he would want to get demoted just because she’s in charge? If she lost her job, she wouldn’t take a demotion. She shouldn’t expect Rafe to do that. He wanted to resign to save their relationship. Rafe thought he would resent her if he accepted the demotion. He did the right thing because it would be hard for him to go to the station knowing that she had his job.

Johnny proved that he’s a scumbag. He called Chanel out when he thought she cheated on him. She was a cheating slut when he thought she slept with Alex. He cheated on her, and we’re supposed to feel sorry for him because he doesn’t want to get caught. Johnny was torn between telling the truth and protecting his secret. We know what answer he chose. He decided to keep the affair a secret. Johnny continued to lie to her even when he had a dream about Joy. He will deserve it when Chanel leaves him for what he did. Johnny didn’t want to show any mercy towards her, and he will know how that feels when she turns her back on him. We noticed that Chanel kept shoving Joy at Johnny. It’s as if she knows that they were together.

Tate is also a scumbag. He used Sophia to get over Holly. It didn’t take much for him to go to bed with Sophia because she offered herself to him. He did what any guy would do. It was wrong, but he did what any man would do in his position. Sophia had herself to blame for giving herself to him when she knew he wasn’t over Holly. Tate’s problem is that he treated her like she was a prostitute while acting like Holly is a delicate flower. It’s bad enough he called out Holly’s name while he was making out with Sophia, but he had to act as if she didn’t mean anything to him. He had no problem going to bed with Sophia even though he knew how he felt about Holly. Fast forward, and Holly wanted to go to her room with him. Tate decided to be a gentleman for Holly. He had the chance to be with her, but he wanted her first time to be special. What type of guy is he to treat Sophia like that. She’s not the villain just because she had feelings for Tate. We applauded Sophia for not wanting to be treated like she didn’t matter.

We cheered Xander on when he was man enough to apologize to Brady for accusing him of hitting Sarah. It’s good to see him own up to what he did. He told him about what happened when Kristen demanded to know details about how Sarah was doing. Xander showed a side of vulnerability and that’s a good thing. He proved that he doesn’t always have to scheme or get himself into trouble. Xander showed how scared he was about what happened to Sarah. The writers should have him show that side more often.

Johnny and Chanel

Interview with Isaiah Mustafa and Ben Watkins

TV Interview!

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.

The opportunity catapulted her career, opening doors thanks to rave reviews by critics. She went on to make her Broadway debut in Vincent and Brixton, a classic play based on Vincent van Gogh, at the Lincoln Center Theater, then London’s West End, before moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in television and film. When she’s not working, Sarah spends time giving back to her community, donating to charities close to her heart such as Door of Hope in Pasadena and Lwala Community Alliance, an organization dedicated to improving health care in Africa.

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.

“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

“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.

Brady

Season 2 Premiering Oct 3 on NBC (10-11p.m. ET/PT)

In any given year, more than 600,000 people are reported missing in the U.S. More than half that number are people of color that the country seems to forget about. Public relations specialist Gabi Mosely (series star and producer Shanola Hampton), who was once herself one of those forgotten ones, and her crisis management team make sure there is always someone looking out for the missing. Gabi, however, has a chilling secret: In the midst of grief, she imprisoned her childhood kidnapper, Sir (Mark-Paul Gosselaar). Now Sir has escaped and is on the loose, and her biggest secret is now her biggest threat.

The cast includes Shanola Hampton, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Kelli Williams, Brett Dalton, Gabrielle Walsh, Arlen Escarpeta and Karan Oberoi.

In addition to Nkechi Okoro Carroll, Sonay Hoffman serves as executive producer, along with Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman and Lindsay Dunn.

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.

Apple TV+ shares first-look at “Women in Blue” (“Las Azules”), new Spanish-language crime drama from International Emmy Award winner Fernando Rovzar

Set to debut globally July 31, 2024 on Apple TV+, new series featuring Ariel Award nominee Bárbara Mori is inspired by the thrilling true stories of Mexico’s first female police force and stars Ximena Sariñana, Natalia Téllez and Amorita Rasgado

Apple TV+ today unveiled the premiere date and a first-look at “Women in Blue” (“Las Azules”), its upcoming ten episode Spanish-language crime drama featuring an entirely Hispanic cast and crew led by Ariel Award nominee Bárbara Mori (“Perdidos en La Noche,” “La Negociadora,” “La Mujer De Mi Hermano”).

Set in 1970 and inspired by true events, “Women in Blue” tells the story of four women who defy the ultra-conservative norms of the time and join Mexico’s first female police force, only to discover that their squad is a publicity stunt to distract the media from a brutal serial killer. As the body count grows, María (Mori), whose determination to catch the killer becomes an obsession, Gabina (Amorita Rasgado), whose father is a renowned cop, Ángeles (Ximena Sariñana), a brilliant fingerprint analyst, and Valentina (Natalia Téllez), a young rebel, set up a secret investigation to achieve what no male officer has been able to do and bring the serial killer to justice.

The series stars Mori, Sariñana, Téllez, Rasgado, Miguel Rodarte, Leonardo Sbaraglia, Christian Tappan, and Horacio García Rojas.

Rovzar, Emmy Award nominee Wendy Riss (“Yellowstone,” “Genius,” “The Killing”), Erica Sanchez Su (“Monarca,” “La Venganza de Las Juanas,” “Paramédicos”), Sandra Solares ( “Point Break,” “Y Tú Mamá También,” “Instructions Not Included”) and International Emmy Award winner Billy Rovzar (“Monarca,” “Control Z,” “Sr. Ávila”) serve as executive producers.
