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!
Wynonna Earp â spicy, hard-living, demon-slaying anti-heroine and great-great-granddaughter of legendary lawman Wyatt Earp â must return, once again, to her hometown of Purgatory to battle her greatest foe yet: a psychotic villainess hellbent on revenge against Wynonna⌠and everyone she loves.

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.
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.
The Chicken Sisters is a new original series based on the NY Times Bestseller of the same name and Reeseâs Book Club selection penned by KJ DellâAntonia. 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 Handmaidâs 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 â Mimiâs and Frannieâs â has left the foundersâ 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+.

Interview with Doug Jones and Elias Toufexis of “Star Trek: Discovery” on Paramount+ by Suzanne 8/15 and 8/21/24
I’m a lifelong Trekkie, so I’m always happy to speak with anyone from the franchise. I’ve spoken with Doug (who played Saru) before, but he’s just such a nice and fun guy to chat with, that I was happy to speak with him again about the release of the show’s final season, as well as the complete series, on DVD, Blu-Ray⢠and Limited Edition Blu-Ray⢠Steelbook. We had a great chat. Then, the following week, I spoke at length with Elias, who played the last season’s villain, L’ak (along with Moll). Both actors have been in many great scifi, fantasy and horror movies, TV shows and video games. They’re both amazing actors. Honestly, I could have spokne with them both for hours. I hope you enjoy our video interviews!

Doug Jones
October 2020
While famous for working under prosthetics in iconic feature film roles, Doug Jones is also a versatile character actor who has performed as himself in guest star roles on shows like âArrow,â âThe Flash,â âTeen Wolf,â âZ-Nation,â âThe Neighbors,â âCriminal Minds,â âC.S.I.â and NBCâs horror anthology âFear Itself.â A veteran of over 100 commercials, Doug was Mac Tonight, the moon-headed piano player in the long-running 1990s McDonaldâs campaign. He also starred as the lead villain in âHush,â an Emmy-winning episode of âBuffy the Vampire Slayer,â long considered a fan favorite. Doug was also a semi-regular guest judge on the hit SyFy Net reality series âFace Off.â
In 2005 he played the title role of Pan (as well as the nightmare character known as The Pale Man) in Guillermo del Toroâs Oscar-winning Spanish language fantasy/horror feature âPanâs Labyrinth.â But it was his sensitive and elegant performance as Abe Sapien in del Toroâs 2004 box office hit âHellboyâ that brought Dougâs unique work to a wider audience. He went on to voice that same character for the Emmy-nominated Cartoon Network animations âHellboy: Sword of Stormsâ and âHellboy: Blood and Iron.â In 2007 Dougâs title role performance in âFantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surferâ was hailed by fans and critics alike. 2008 saw Doug reprise his starring role (as well as two other characters) in âHellboy II: The Golden Army,â once more under the direction of del Toro. He also starred in âGainsbourg,â a stylized biopic of the famous French poet/singer/composer Serge Gainsbourg, in which he plays Gainsbourgâs dark alter ego. The film has won three Cesar Awards. Doug has also had prominent creature roles in âCrimson Peak,â âThe Watch,â âThe Bye Bye Man,â âLegion,â âHocus Pocusâ and many others.
Jones was a series regular on three seasons of TNTâs Spielberg-produced sci-fi series âFalling Skiesâ and recurred on Guillermo del Toroâs FX series âThe Strain.â Upcoming, Jones will star opposite Sally Hawkins in del Toroâs âThe Shape of Water.â

Kayla told Steve about Sarahâs condition. Weâre pretty sure she wasnât supposed to do that.
Itâs hard to believe that Jack didnât have time to call Steve to let him know that Jennifer was in town. Why didnât Steve go with them to meet Abby?
Melinda was stupid to go to Connieâs 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 Connieâs place.
Chad managed not to hear all of Abbyâs conversation.
Connie was yelling at the Li stand, but Melinda didnât hear her talking.
Melinda drank the tea that Connie offered to her. You would think that she wouldnât have drunk it since she fired Connie.
Tuesday
Johnny was making a movie about Marlena, but he didnât realize that Hattie wasnât his grandmother. He should have realized who she was because Hattie doesnât dress like Marlena.
Chanel suddenly hired people to work at Sweet Bits. The place barely reopened, and she suddenly had the staff that sheâs bored.
Kate conveniently knew where to find Leo. She doesnât 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 shouldnât have seen her face.
Fiona talked about what she did to Sarah, but Xander managed not to hear it.
Sarahâs bruises looked different. At the start of the episode, she had more bruises, but they were gone later.
Thursday
Who told Doug about Jenniferâs meeting with Abby? Why wouldnât 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 didnât die, but Everett passed away from it?
EJ told Abby about Chadâs 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.
Fionaâs flashback could be heard before it was shown.
Sarahâs bruises looked like they were almost healed up.
Sarah referred to Tate by his first and last name to Xander as if he didnât know him. Did she forget they are related?
The opinions in these articles are those of the writer and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of TVMEG.COM or its other volunteers.
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 arenât invested in Gabi and Stefanâs 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 weâre 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 sheâs 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 didnât have to Salem brain. She chose to fire Connie by herself. Most of us know that managers wonât 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 donât have to be psychic to know that Melinda didnât tell anyone except Ava about being at Connieâs place. She loses more points in the brains department because she drank Connieâs tea. Connie offered her tea after she fired her, and she drank it. Melinda wasnât 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 didnât 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 Melindaâs 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 didnât 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 canât stress enough that we donât believe that the actress playing Connie is good enough to keep portraying the character. She may be a fan of the show, but that doesnât mean that she should have a big role in it. The actress needs more acting lessons if sheâs going to pull off a big story like that.
Brady needs to stop drinking so much. He wouldnât be in the mess that heâs in now if he didnât drink. Fiona framed him for what happened to Sarah. She hit Sarah and paralyzed her. Fiona put Brady in the driverâs seat because she didnât want to take the fall for what she did. If he didnât get drunk, she wouldnât 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 isnât being subtle with the things sheâs 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 Bradyâs 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 weâll see.
Why are the writers wasting their time with the Body & Soul storyline? The story is a waste and doesnât need to be added to the show. Itâs clearly for comic relief purposes, but itâs a waste of time. Too many cast members are going to be involved in this story, but it doesnât work. Abe is acting like heâs 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 donât need this story to feature an ensemble. Hopefully the show doesnât get dominated by this storyline.

Tate was upset when he found out about his mother. If he werenât scheming to be with Holly, he would have known what she did.
How is Holly able to get back and forth to the Horton cabin without anyone knowing that she went.
Why didnât Roman include Marlena in his plans to throw Eric and Nicole a going away party? She might have wanted to help throw the party too.
Nicole had a pocketbook with her one minute, and it was gone the next.
Tuesday
No one ever sees Connie walking around. She doesnât attempt to hide, but no one sees anything.
Stephanie thought Leo would keep her secret from getting out. He told her that he needed content for his article so why would he keep her secret quiet?
Bobby threatened Connie. He heard her say that she never gets caught, so why would he threaten her?
Connie knows too much about Bobbyâs life considering they didnât know each other before she approached him about killing Li.
Wednesday
Leo managed not to hear Connie in Bobbyâs room. She was talking loud, but he managed not to hear her.
Stephanie didnât have to refer to Leo by his full name. Jada should know who Leo is, so she didnât have to call him by his full name.
Jack claimed that Jennifer knew that he and Chad dug up Abbyâs body. Itâs not likely that she wouldnât have come back to Salem to help find her.
Jada called Rafe âDetective Hernandez.â He is the commissioner of the police department.
Connie conveniently heard Ava talking about sleeping with Stefan. Ava wasnât talking loud, but Connie managed to hear her.
Thursday
Jada and Stephanie didnât call for help right away. They basically just watched Bobby before they tried to get him help.
The pill bottle that was on Bobbyâs nightstand was closer to the pillow in Wednesdayâs episode, but it was closer to Jada in Thursdayâs episode.
Ava didnât hear Connie talking about her sleeping with Stefan, and she was in the same room with her. Connie conveniently heard Ava talking about her affair, and she wasnât in the room. Ava wasnât talking loudly at all when Connie heard her.
It took the paramedics a long time to get to Bobby.
Stephanie cried without any tears.
Friday
Marlena said that they invited Brady to Ericâs going away party, but she wasnât part of the plan. When did she invite Brady to the party?
Marlena said she didnât hear from Brady, but he told her that he was at the office. She obviously heard from him after all.
Xander managed not to hear Fiona and Brady talking in her room. Fiona was talking loud when she wanted Brady to sneak out her room.

Nicole and Eric had their going away party this week. We may be alone here, but we aren’t upset that they are leaving. The writers also squandered an opportunity to finish Nicole’s story properly. Arianne Zucker’s departure has been announced for months so they had time to write a proper farewell to a actress who has been with the show for 25 years. With that said, Nicole didn’t find out what Holly did. Holly snuck to the Horton cabin to be with Tate. She’s been spending time with him, and it happened right under Nicole’s nose. Where’s the confrontation and pay off for that? Why did Holly get to decide that she was staying in Salem? Nicole is the parent and she let. 17 year old child tell her that she wasn’t going with her. Is Nicole that much of a wimp? She should have made Holly go with her. Nicole didn’t seem too disappointed by it since she could focus on her life with Eric and Jude. She only cares about her child with Eric. Nicole has the little family she always wanted so she is fine to leave. We know that Arianne Zucker and Greg Vaughn were written out, but the writers could have written a better story than that. It was a slap in the face for someone who spent so many years on the show.
What are the writers thinking with the Body and Soul storyline? They are wasting time having Kate and Abe involved in this soap within a soap storyline. This is not the comic relief we need right now. We know itâs an excuse to give Diedre Hall something else to do. Unfortunately, we don’t need to see Hattie again. She’s not an integral character on the show so we don’t need her back. Diedre Hall probably enjoys playing her to get a break from Marlena, but she’s a waste of a character. We would rather the writers give Abe and Kate better stories than this.
Speaking of a waste of characters, when are the writers getting rid of Connie? She is getting shoved down our throats. Connie killed Li and Bobby. The writers put her in the middle of two stories for no reason. She always hears everything no matter what. Connie has great timing to hear things that other people say no matter how close they are. Other people can’t hear conversations when they are practically in the room with other characters. Now she has killed Bobby. He’s a useless character too. We’re not upset that he’s gone. There was no need to write his character into the show. He was another useless character who provided anything to the show. His character was written out and looked like a killer. Who knows when Connie will get caught for what she did.
Marlena might have to reconsider her career. She didnât notice that Bobby was pretending to be Everett. Marlena was the one who allowed him to check out because she believed he was Everett. She is supposed to be a great psychiatrist, but she didnât realize that he was faking. It might be time to do something else with her life if she couldnât tell he was lying to get out of Bayview.
Why do the writers keep having Brady spiral out of control? How many times do we have to see him fall off the wagon? We know that people get weak, but he always falls off the wagon. It feels like that’s the only story the writers know how to give him. Now he’s hooking up with Fiona. He’s hooking up with Xander’s mother because of Theresa. Brady wasn’t with Theresa, so it didn’t make sense for him to fall off the wagon because of her. We feel like the writers don’t know what to do with Brady anymore.

Interview with actors Christie Burke, Stacey Read and Ryan Adams, and EPs Dean Devlin and Jonathan Glassner of “The Ark” on Syfy by Suzanne 6/26/24
It’s always enjoyable to speak with these actors and producers! They’re a good crew, both on- and off-screen. I’m a huge scifi fan, and I like how Devlin’s shows always have a lot of fun and action as well as good characters and drama. Season Two has even more going on than season one. It’s the TV equivalent of a popcorn movie. Sit back and enjoy! Season 2 starts tonight, 7/17, 10/9c on Syfy.

Stacey Read was born and grew up in Zimbabwe, the daughter of a Zimbabwean mother and British father. She first started acting in her Senior School drama club and it was there performing in school plays that she found passion. She soon came to the UK to train at Performance Preparation Academy.
It was obvious that Eric wasnât talking to Holly on the phone. He didnât give Holly a chance to respond to some of the things he said before he spoke again.
Gabi was in prison when Sloan switched Nicoleâs paternity test so she shouldnât have known she did it.
Nicole planned to leave the DiMera mansion without taking Holly with her.
Nicole didnât have Judeâs stroller with her when she left the mansion, but she had it when she went to the airport.
Tuesday
If Gabi was so worried about Arianna, she should move out to wherever Will and Sonny are living with her this week.
Brady referred to Eric as his brother as if Theresa wasnât related to him.
EJ had the fireplace going in the summertime. Salem may be a fictional town, but itâs still summertime.
Alex conveniently needed Theresa to sign the prenup when she wanted to take Tate to the airport.
Wednesday
Leo wasnât at the press conference, but he knew that Gabi exposed EJ at the conference.
Xander could have ordered a glass of water instead of drinking out of Leoâs glass. Why do the joggers insist on drinking out of Leoâs glass?
Thursday
Connie conveniently found Bobbyâs room at Bayview.
How did Leo know where Marlena lived?
Rafe and Jada were able to find their way to the plot where Abby was buried without anyone taking them there. If anyone has been in a cemetery, you know itâs hard to find plots without any help.
Who was watching Chadâs kids? Doug and Julie were with Kayla, and Chad was with Jack at the cemetery.
Friday
If Ava didnât want Gabi to know that she slept with Stefan, why did she mention it so freely?
Why would Li tell Connie where he lived when they only went out on one date?
Gabi didnât hear Kristen and Ava talking about Stefan.
Connie didnât have blood on her dress after she killed Li. When Bobby saw her there was blood on her dress.
Connie knows too much about people in Salem when she never interacts with them. She conveniently knew Gill and that he was Ava’s boss.
Connie was hidden behind a door so she shouldn’t have seen Gill with Li. It should have been an audio flashback and not a visual one.
Marlena needs to lose her license since she couldn’t tell that Bobby was pretending to be Everett.
The opinions in these articles are those of the writer and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of TVMEG.COM or its other volunteers.
It was a week of flashbacks. For some reason, the writers drowned the episodes with flashbacks. Most of the week was filled with flashbacks of Connie and Bobby. Connie kept thinking about Li and everything that happened after the murder. Bobby flashed back to seeing Connie after she murdered Li. We know the writers wanted to show the audience what happened when Li was killed, but they didnât have to go overboard with the flashbacks. There were only two days out of the week that didnât feature flashbacks which means there were too many shown.
Speaking of Liâs murder, we felt completely ripped off by the outcome. We didnât really care who killed him in the first place, but the writers made the killer someone who was on for about two episodes. Connie went out with Li one time and suddenly became obsessed with him. The woman who plays Connie won a role on the show and became part of a major story for the week. It was such a waste of time because sheâs an insignificant character. Thankfully we didnât invest much interest in the mystery, but other fans might have liked the story. Itâs a letdown for the killer to be a minor character. Bobbyâs involvement in the story makes even less sense. Letâs get to that now.
Bobby suddenly had the answer to who really killed Li. He conveniently saw Connie in the park the night she stabbed Li. Connie was stupid enough to admit out loud that she stabbed Li. Itâs convenient how he knew to keep that information to himself until he approached Jada with it. There was no need for him to know that information when he wasnât in town at the time it happened. The writers clearly want to make Bobbyâs role bigger by tying him to Liâs murder and to Connie. His role doesnât need to be any bigger than it is. He and Connie are now in cahoots with each other. Connie suddenly realized that he was Jadaâs ex and heard them talking about the investigation. She put two and two together to figure out that he was the one who saw her in the park. Connie suddenly knows everything about everyone in Salem. She told Bobby that Jada went home to Rafe every night. Connie had no way of knowing about Jada and Rafe, but she threw them up in his face like she did. She offered to take care of Rafe if he stopped talking about the murder investigation. Bobby jumped at the opportunity. Weâll get into that in the next section.
As we said, Bobby jumped at the opportunity to take Connieâs deal. He did his part by pretending that he was Everett again to get out of Bayview. As Everett, he wouldnât have any memories of what Bobby saw in the park. His plan worked, and Marlena made sure he was released. Marlena clearly needs to think about getting out of psychiatry if she couldnât tell that Bobby was pretending to be Jude. On a side note, she didnât cure John of the brainwashing that Konstantin did to him. She allowed Bobby to get out of Bayview. Connie had to get rid of Rafe. She is the town stalker, so she found him at the cemetery to stab him. The woman has lost her mind and needs to be stopped before she goes crazy. Weâre surprised that she didnât target Gabi since Li loved her.
Jack was upset about Abbyâs body being exhumed. It was strange that he wouldnât want to know if it was possible that his daughter was alive. For some reason, he had a hard time believing that Abby could be alive. Did he forget that he was presumed dead at one point? His organs were donated, and he came back to life. There are several people in Salem who have come back to life, but he had trouble believing it. Kayla had trouble believing it too. She just came back to life but thought Abby had to be dead. We think that the citizens have taken a selective amnesia pill because they forgot that people come back from the dead on a daily basis in that town.
As Days fans know, the truth about Judeâs paternity has finally been revealed. Gabi announced that Eric was the father of Nicoleâs baby at EJâs press conference. She was supposed to keep quiet about the truth, but she told it anyway. Gabi claimed that she did it because Eric had a right to know the truth. We have a hard time believing that. If that were true, she would have called Eric and told him the truth. She wouldnât have announced it publicly. Gabi clearly forgot that Stefan asked her not to say anything. She had the gall to be smug about revealing something that would make EJ target them. Stefan showed his anger towards Gabi, and we cheered him on for doing that. Gabi had the nerve to get mad because she thought he was siding with EJ. Stefan had the right to side with EJ because she violated a trust. He shouldnât have told her the truth in the first place because she didnât hesitate to open her mouth. We are hoping that EJ goes after Gabi for opening her big mouth. EJ needs to go after her with everything he has left because he has nothing to lose, so he can destroy her without blinking twice.
The confrontation between Nicole and EJ happened this week. Nicole found out the truth (thanks to Gabi), and they had it out at the mansion. EJ tried his best to explain why he did what he did, but she didnât want to hear what he had to say. She told him that he didnât get to say that he loved her again. Nicole had a right to be upset, but she always forgets that she has done things too. She forgot that she cheated on him to conceive Jude in the first place. EJ felt like she would run to Eric if she knew the truth, and he was right. We were surprised that Nicole didnât yell at EJ. She had a subdued performance. Weâre not sure what we expected, but we thought it would be bigger than that. Nicole went running to Eric and forgot about Holly. She didnât tell Holly the truth about Jude. EJ had to tell her the truth. Nicole proved that she was only worried about Jude and didnât care about Holly at all. She showed up to give him the rings and to get a divorce. It must have been too much to ask that she remember to take her daughter with her.
The opinions in these articles are those of the writer and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of TVMEG.COM or its other volunteers.
Nicole didnât hear Melinda tell EJ that she was going to tell the truth about Judeâs paternity. Melinda wasnât yelling so she should have heard her talking.
Did Tate forget that heâs supposed to be working at the pub? He told Brady that he wanted to work at a club to pay him back.
Why would Ava and Kristen talk about her sleeping with Stefan in a public place? Anyone could have heard them talking about it.
Did we miss something? Will and Sonny went to New Zealand when they left the show, but they are back in Phoenix.
It was convenient that Gabi thought Stefan would be tempted by other women when we know he slept with Ava.
Tuesday
Chanel and Johnny were crying one minute, but their tears dried up the next time they were shown.
What made Kate think she and Abe were qualified to produce a TV show? How big would the show be since they live in Salem?
Wednesday
Julie talked about Clyde as if she knew him. We didnât realize she knew anything about Clyde.
Stephanie told Paulina that the people of Salem didnât like her firing a woman of color to rehire a rich, white man. It didnât make sense for her to tell an African American woman about hiring a woman of color.
Chad wanted to talk about something private with Kayla, but he kept her office door open. Anyone could have heard them talking.
Thursday
Tate balled up the pamphlet for lacrosse camp, but it was straightened out when Theresa looked at it.
The flashback Alex had could be heard before it was shown.
Brady managed not to hear Holly and Rachel talking about her bribing her to keep quiet about Tate.
Aaron could be heard talking while Holly was shown.
Friday
What are the odds that Connie would approach Melinda out of the blue.
Why would Melinda want to work for the woman who killed her daughter?
Nicole cried without any tears.
How did Connie get the keys to Trippâs apartment? She used them to get inside and think about stabbing Li.

Interview with Demetrius Grosse, Nika King, and Bishop and First Lady Donna Martin of the film “Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot” by Suzanne 6/28/24
This is a very powerful and uplifting story of a couple who changed the lives of many children, as well as the other people in their town. These are religious people, but the film is not too preachy, so if you’re not that into religion, it shouldn’t bother you. Faith is definitely the motivation for these people, in everything they do. Demetrius Grosse and Nika King turn in powerful performances as the real-life people Bishop and First Lady Donna Martin, who lived in a small town in Eastern Texas. After a tragedy in Donna’s life, she decides to adopt children. She and her husband not only adopt many children, but they get all of the people in their parish to do so as well.
It was a really interesting set of interviews. I’ve only interviewed the “real life people” in movies a few times. I was a foster child myself, and my mom was adopted as a baby, so this is an issue that hits home for me. Some scenes in the movie were hard to watch because some of the troubled children reminded me of other foster kids I knew. I told the actors and their counterparts about this, and how much the movie touched me. It was interesting to see how each paired group reacted completely differently! It was very unusual, to say the least. Let’s just say that the two ladies were much more relaxed and fun, and the two men were very serious.
The movie premieres today, July 4th. I hope you can go see it. Maybe it will inspire you to adopt children or foster a child who needs you. The foster care situation was bad 50 years ago when I was a child. It’s much worse today. I know that the Martins and everyone connected with this movie hope that their film gets people thinking about the foster care crisis.
This film is from Angel Studios. They produce the hit TV show “The Chosen” and many good, uplifting movies. They make great films with positive messages and outstanding acting, without being preachy or boring. They tell amazing stories.
The fight for kids begins July 4. Inspired by the powerful true story, Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot, follows Donna and Reverend Martin as they ignite a fire in the hearts of their rural church to embrace kids in the foster system that nobody else would take. By doing the impossibleâadopting 77 childrenâthis East Texas community proved that, with real, determined love, the battle for Americaâs most vulnerable can be won.
Tagline:
The Fight for Kids Begins July 4
Rating:
PG-13 for thematic material involving child abuse, some violence, language and brief suggestive material
Run Time:
2 hours and 09 minutes
Fast Facts:
Inspired by the true story of Bishop and First Lady Donna Martin, and their tiny Bennett Chapel church, in the town of Possum Trot in the woods of East Texas.
Twenty two families linked arms and courageously adopted seventy seven of the most difficult-to-place children in the local foster care system
76 kids were adopted between 1998-2000. Another was adopted in 2011. The Martins have 2 biological children and adopted 4 during this time period.
This act ignited a national movement for vulnerable children that continues today.

Interview with Tahmoh Penikett of “The Killer Inside: The Ruth Finley Story” on Lifetime by Suzanne 6/27/24
It was a lot of fun to speak with Tahmoh! He seems really nice and loves to chat. I’ve admired his work for a long time. He’s been in so many shows I’ve watched, so I’m a big fan. Don’t miss this Lifetime movie tomorrow, Saturday, 6/29! It’s a good story, based on real life events that are pretty shocking.
The Killer Inside: The Ruth Finley Story follows Ruth (Hatcher) and her husband, Edâs (Tahmoh Penikett), tranquil life in Wichita, Kansas which is suddenly turned upside down when Ed suffers a heart attack. As Ed fights for his life in the hospital, Ruthâs starts to receive mysterious threats, leaving her in a state of panic. With the city held hostage by the terror of the BTK killer, Ruth finds herself enveloped in paranoia, convinced that she will be the next victim, as the menacing phone calls escalate into chilling letters. Amidst the frenzy of the policeâs pursuit of BTK, Ruth is abducted, sending shockwaves through the community. Yet her sudden reappearance shortly after the kidnapping leaves investigators baffled and scrambling for answers. As suspicion mounts and new evidence comes to light, the authorities entertain the unsettling notion that the perpetrator may be someone intimately connected to Ruth.
The Killer Inside: The Ruth Finley Story is produced by Housewife Productions Inc. for Lifetime. Navid Soofi produces with Tim Johnson and Stacy Mandelberg serving as executive producers and Lisa Alford as co-executive producer. The film is written by Katie Gruel and directed by Greg Beeman.

Interview with John Fawcett, co-creator of “Orphan Black” and director/EP of the spinoff “Orphan Black: Echoes” on AMC/AMC+ and BBC America by Suzanne 6/26/24

Every twist and turn around the maze of this world has led to a new enemy, a new ally, a new clone and always, new questions. How many of us are out there? Who created us? Who is trying to kill us? The search for these answers have sent Sarah and her newly-found sisters Alison (Maslany), Cosima (Maslany) and Helena (Maslany) crashing head first into some of the most nefarious foes and life revelations they couldâve ever imagined. The cast includes Jordan Gavaris, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Kristian Bruun, Evelyne Brochu, Kevin Hanchard, Ari Millen, Skyler Wexler and Josh Vokey.

Interview with Hunter King, star of “Two Scoops of Italy” on Hallmark by Krista 6/18/24
Speaking with Hunter was so much fun. It’s probably my favorite interview I’ve ever done because I was really familiar with her and her work on “Young and the Restless.” Seeing her in a different role in this movie was great.
She was so friendly and so much fun to talk to. I could have talked to her for an hour. She loves to read like I do, and so we shared our favorite books. She was so interesting, and I loved hearing about her experiences on this movie and her challenges she faced as well.
The movie airs Saturday, June 22 on Hallmark Channel, or streaming on Peacock.
Transcript (not edited yet)
Hunter King: Thank you so much for having me.
Krista Chain: Okay. My 1st question is, how did you decide to accept the part in 2 scoops of Italy? What was the audition process, or were you approached by someone to to look at the script? How did that all come about?
Hunter King: Hallmark approached me with the script, and immediately I heard Italy, and I was like, I’m in. Count me in but then I obviously went and read the script, and it was just so charming and such a
Hunter King: like such a sweet feel! Good love story! I love a Romcom such a sucker for a Romcom. So anytime I get the opportunity to do a Romcom, I immediately take it.
Hunter King: But I love the story arc. I love the character arc and obviously getting to take place in Italy is not not a bad day.
Krista Chain: That’s right. And so that answered my next question. I know sometimes when they film movies, they don’t actually film where it’s being set. So it was filmed in Italy.
Hunter King: It was filmed in Italy. I don’t know how I got so lucky to get to film a movie that is based in Italy and actually takes place in Italy. But I somehow I don’t know. I I won the lottery with this one. I really did. It was
Hunter King: more magical than you could even imagine. It was just
Hunter King: a dream come true.
Krista Chain: Well, the movie was excellent.
Hunter King: Thank you. Thank you so much. I’m so happy that you liked it. It was so much fun to film. It was really so like just a blast.
Krista Chain: It looks like it would have been a really good time.
Hunter King: Thank you.
Krista Chain: So what was your favorite part of the movie.
Hunter King: Oh, my favorite part of the movie there I mean, there were so many
Hunter King: fun scenes that we film Nicolet, my co-star. He was great. He was very patient with me, teaching me many Italian words in between in between takes. I just would constantly ask him what different things mean, and then somehow would not remember any of it. 20Â min later would have to ask him all over again. A great patient teacher and a great Co star. But getting to film just in all these different amazing locations was just
Hunter King: just I don’t even know how to describe it. And some of the things that we did like. Vespa scenes were so fun because we couldn’t really ride the vesque class they needed to like get us
Hunter King: like the certain camera angles, so we’d be up on the back of a truck with the vespas drafted kind of on a trailer behind. It was just so much fun getting to shoot these different things, and there was so many fun experiences like that on this one.
Krista Chain: So you had never worked with your co-star before.
Hunter King: No, no! This was the 1st time.
Krista Chain: Oh, okay, we all had really good chemistry together.
Hunter King: Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, no, he was. He was lovely. He was great. And I give him major props because filming
Hunter King: a movie in your second language. I luckily only had to say a couple of Italian words, and that was difficult for me. So I was like, I don’t know how you’re doing this. That is so hard. And he handled it like such a pro. And just was, Yeah, I was. I was very impressed.
Krista Chain: Okay? And what was your biggest challenge in filming this movie?
Krista Chain: Did you have any obstacles or challenges.
Hunter King: I’m trying to think of my biggest. I mean, honestly, that sounds again, Mika having to film a whole movie in your second language, when I only had to say a couple of words, but I somehow always would botch the words, and the director would tell me, I’m like, Okay, wait, wait. Remind me how to say that like right before we would start filming.
Hunter King: And he’d be like, this is how you say this is how you say it. I’m like, Okay, okay? And then we’d go to film. And I somehow go back to saying it the wrong way. And I would do that so many times. Oh, my God! I felt so bad! And Mika is over here just handling it all like it’s a breeze, and I’m like I can’t even say 2 words in Italian without having to do it 5 different times. So that was probably the most challenging, and the most takes that I had to do was on the Times, that I would have to stay
Hunter King: forwards in Italian, and I would screw it up every time.
Krista Chain: So the biggest challenge was the language. Then.
Hunter King: Yeah, luckily I only had a little bit, but somehow it was still challenging for me. Yeah.
Krista Chain: I can imagine it would have been for me as well.
Hunter King: It was hard it was hard. But I’m I’m determined to get my Italian down, so that the next time I go there I can say more than how to order an espresso at a cafe.
Krista Chain: Is it was that the 1st time you had ever been to Italy.
Hunter King: I’d been to Italy once before, like
Hunter King: 1011 years prior and so now I feel like I appreciated it even more, and getting to be there for work was just
such an incredible opportunity that I will never forget.
Krista Chain: Well, I have also watched you and young and the restless.
Krista Chain: And so I was just wondering what is the differences in filming a movie and filming a TV show.
Hunter King: Well, I’d say the number one difference between the 2 is just the pace
Hunter King: with the young wrestles. We had to
Hunter King: an hour’s worth of a show in one day, and sometimes more, because we would film like a episode and a quarter or something like that every single day. And
Hunter King: the pacing was just so fast, and you had to. Some days. I had, I think, the most dialogue I ever had in one day was like 55 pages for the young, the restless. When you film a movie, you have, like, you know, 4 5 pages of dialogue that day so definitely the pace. And you get a lot more time and a lot more takes when you film a movie which is nice.
Hunter King: and that one, it’s almost like doing a play every single day is you got to know your stuff? You get one, maybe 2 takes, and then you’re moving on.
Krista Chain: Wow!
Hunter King: Yeah.
Krista Chain: That. That’s 1 reason I really wanted to talk with you today, because I have watched you for so long, and the young and the restless and then saw this movie. And so I really wanted to to have a chance to talk with you today.
Hunter King: Oh, I’m so excited that we’re getting to talk. Then I mean, I feel like the soap opera fans. It’s like
Hunter King: the best kind of fans because you guys are dedicated. You’re watching
Hunter King: single day, like you know the story you? I always said that the fans of the show know the show better than I do, cause they’ve watched for years that they’re like. No, this person was with this person, but then they cheated on this person, and now they have a baby with this person I’m like, Oh, my God! I didn’t even know that. So.
Hunter King: Major Boss.
Krista Chain: My grandmother got me into watching the soap operas.
Hunter King: I love that that’s so sweet. I love that.
Krista Chain: Yeah. When I was when I was young I used to stay with her some during the summer and stuff, and when I was sick from school, and she always had to watch Young and the restless.
Hunter King: Love that, and then they then you get hooked. You watch one episode. You’re like, now I need to know what happens, and.
Hunter King: That’s how they do it. Yep.
Krista Chain: That’s right. And so you I noticed in the movie that you were a chef. Do you have
Krista Chain: passion for cooking and baking yourself, or.
Hunter King: I’m learning. I definitely don’t have the same skills as Danielle for sure. Nowhere close. I have many different battle wounds, as I call them from cooking different burn marks or different cuts on my fingers and scars from accidentally cutting myself.
Hunter King: So I’m definitely nowhere near her level. But I do enjoy it, and I’ve started cooking more and more within this last year, and I’m getting better. It’s edible. That’s for sure. It’s edible, questionable. But we’re getting there slowly.
Krista Chain: That’s the main thing.
Hunter King: I just want to be good enough to eat. I don’t need to be Michelin Star just good enough to eat. That’s it.
Krista Chain: And that I have some. I have some burn marks, too, so.
Hunter King: You get it? Yeah, it takes time.
Krista Chain: So what are you? Some of your hobbies that you do in your free time, when you’re not working.
Hunter King: Oh, my gosh! I always feel so boring when people ask me about my hobbies. I’m like, I like my dogs. I love to read. I’m a really big reader. My boyfriend. And I, we love TV and movies. And so we do watch a lot of TV. We have a whole list of different things that we’ve been watching this year. And it’s
Hunter King: it’s a substantial amount. I’m like, okay, we need to slow down on the TV. Cause this is this is getting out of control. But we do love to watch. We have our favorite shows together. But I I’m a big, big reader, and surprise surprise. Most of the books I read are wrong coms, so I just I keep away from them. I love them so much.
Krista Chain: I love to read as well. What’s your favourite book?
Hunter King: Oh, I mean, I love Colleen Hoover. Just it starts with us. It ends with us, or it ends with us and starts with us. We’re both so good. Verity was incredible. Have you read any colleen Hoover books.
Krista Chain: I haven’t.
Hunter King: Oh, okay, you’re gonna be.
Hunter King: I’m telling you it’s gonna change your life. You’re gonna thank me. You’re gonna come back and you’d be like you were right. Go and read, it ends with us and then read, it’s it’s weird. It starts with it ends with us. Then it starts with us is the sequel, and then a totally different book. Verity.
Hunter King: another one of our books, which I think that that’s 1 of them is
Hunter King: oh, another good one but those are really good, so try those. But.
Krista Chain: Okay.
Hunter King: For you if you want some Romcom books. I got you.
Krista Chain: I I’ve been reading some freedom. Macfadden, have you read her.
Hunter King: No, I haven’t.
Krista Chain: The housemaid and the co-worker, the teacher.
Krista Chain: Those are. Those are the ones. I just finished the coworker, and it was really good. So I’m fixing about to start the teacher.
Hunter King: Ok, all right, I’ll put those on my list. I’ll definitely do that because I’m almost done with my book now, and I need a new one. Check out, Emily Henry, too.
Krista Chain: I’ve seen her, but I’ve never read any of hers either.
Hunter King: If you like. Hallmark, you’d love her books. They’re just so feel good and just make it just feels like you’re reading a warm hug it just they’re just delicious. You gotta read her books.
Krista Chain: I’ll definitely check her out.
Krista Chain: And have you ever worked with you said you had never worked with your co-star before.
Hunter King: No, I have not. This was our 1st movie together.
Krista Chain: Oh, wow! Well, who is someone that you would like to work with that? You’ve never worked with.
Hunter King: oh, my gosh! I mean there’s so many different
Hunter King: great people in Hallmark jonathan Bennett would be so fun. I’ve been a fan of his forever.
Hunter King: Tyler, big fan of his, would love to work with him. Well, I’ve said this before, and I’ve been so lucky with all of the people that I’ve worked with both men and women, just like some of the loveliest people. So if I ever got the opportunity to work with any of my co-stars again, and film either a sequel or another thing, I would jump at the opportunity, because I’ve been so fortunate to have made so many amazing friendships with the people that I’ve worked with, and they’re all not just like great actors, but great people as well.
Krista Chain: I I would think that would be one of the most fun parts of doing movies and stuff like that is getting to meet different people, and making friendships with different ones.
Hunter King: Yeah, no, that honestly, that’s probably my favorite part of getting to do movies and just meeting so many different people and people that you would never would have met, or that live in different places that live in Italy. Now.
Krista Chain: Rather.
Hunter King: In Canada. And so it does make you feel more connected to the.
Krista Chain: And go into different places.
Krista Chain: and I think I had one more question. Do you have any projects coming up that you can tell us about?
Hunter King: I have. Well, I don’t think I’m really allowed to say much about it. I haven’t filmed it yet, but I’m going to be filming a very fun homework movie soon that I cannot wait for. It’s like a dream job. I mean, all the ones that I’ve done have been amazing and just so much fun. And this one is gonna be no different. It’s just gonna be.
Hunter King: Oh, I can’t wait. I’m like bursting at the seams waiting to tell people about it, but it’s gonna be a good one, I promise.
Krista Chain: Oh, I can’t wait to see it!
Hunter King: Thank you.
Krista Chain: Well, thank you so much for talking with me today. And I really, I really did enjoy getting to meet you and talk to you today.
Hunter King: Thank you so much. Thank you for having me. I’m so glad that you got to watch the movie, and that you’ve watched the young the wrestlers for years, but it was so lovely to talk to you.
Krista Chain: Thank you so much. You take care of yourself and have a wonderful day.
Hunter King: Thank you. You, too. Have a good weekend.

Why would EJ be dumb enough to put Judeâs genetic test in the safe at the DiMera mansion? He should have known Kristen, Stefan, and anyone else who lives in the mansion would have opened the safe. Did he really think he was the only one who would go in there? We understand Stefan had to have a way to blackmail EJ, but that didnât make sense. EJ wouldnât have been careless enough to put the results in a place where anyone could find it.
It could be just us, but we are sick of seeing Theresa get away with her scheme. Itâs beyond time for her to get exposed for her scheme. We are also sick of Alex walking around like heâs the man because he thinks heâs Victorâs son. He needs to be knocked off his high horse. The writers are taking too long to expose that Xander is Victorâs son. We canât wait to see the look on Alexâs face when he finds out he isnât Victorâs son. It will also be great to see Theresaâs face when sheâs exposed for her plan.
Thumbs up to the writers for acknowledging Juneteenth. Itâs good that they acknowledge the holiday. The other soap operas ignore the holiday, but Days always take the time to acknowledge it. With Abe and Paulinaâs anniversary being that day, itâs an extra way for the show to acknowledge the day. The other soaps need to do the same especially since they have African Americans on their shows.
Speaking of Juneteenth, what are the odds that the high school prom would be the same day? Most proms are in May or early June. They arenât usually near the end of the month especially since kids should be getting out of high school by then. We know the writers think we all want to see the prom, but they should have gotten the time right for it.
We loved hearing Tate rip into Theresa for hurting Brady. She needed to hear about what she did to Brady. Tate had us cheering him on when he told her that she only cares about herself. He was right on the money about that because all she does is think about what she wants. When she tried to use what Konstantin did to her to let her off the hook, Tate didnât fall for it. He walked away from her.
How did Leo know what happened during Konstantin and Maggieâs wedding when he wasnât there? When he ran into Theresa, he asked her about Konstantin holding her hostage. Leo also knew Konstantin said there was an enemy in the midst. Since Leo wasnât at the wedding, he shouldnât know what was said. It wasnât likely they had all that information online.
The writers missed the mark when they had Jack in Salem. He went to see Chad and Julie at the Horton house, yet he didnât take the time to see Steve. You would think Jack would have taken the time to see his brother while he was in Salem. Steve is his family too. We know Jack isnât staying on the show long, but they could have had him talking to Steve.
Why didnât Paulina invite Johnnyâs family to the going away party? Johnny has family members in town so she could have invited them to the wedding. Itâs not like she doesnât know who his family is so thereâs no reason why she didnât invite them. Johnny shouldnât have had to invite EJ to the party. Did Paulina think Johnnyâs family wouldnât have come to send him and Chanel off.

Weâre sure it was no surprise to anyone, but Maggie and Konstantin didnât get married. Maggie and company let Konstantin know that they were on to him and his schemes. Konstantin revealed why he wanted to get revenge against Victor. Victor suddenly left him out of his will. He admitted that he had Victor killed. It felt underwhelming because Konstantin is too new of a character for us to care about. We did notice that no one saw how scared Theresa looked when Konstantin was getting grilled about his accomplice. Theresa didnât hide the fact that she was afraid of being busted. During the revelation Konstantin managed to shoot Steve before he left the mansion with Theresa as his hostage. Thereâs rarely a dull moment at a Salem wedding.
The writers left the audience hanging by not revealing that Xander is Victorâs son. Konstantin managed to die without us finding out Xanderâs true paternity. What was the point of having Xander be Victorâs son if he wasnât going to find out? They may as well have let Alex be Victorâs son. We were happy that Konstantinâs story is over, but it could have ended with Xander finding out the truth.
Marlena must not have done a good job of de-programming John since he was still affected by the pawn card. He kept hearing Konstantin tell him to shoot Steve, but he was supposed to be immune to the pawn card. Itâs funny how the pawn card didnât work when Konstantin gave him orders, but once he died, the card work. Does the card have a selective hold over John? Itâs something how all it took to break John out of the trance was a phone ringing. Speaking of the pawn card, you would think someone would have burned the card so John wouldnât be under the spell. Was it that hard to get rid of the card?
Kayla was upset that Steve kept her in the dark about what happened at the wedding. She wanted him to warn her that he was going to be in danger. We understand that she was concerned about him, but if he told her what was going on, what would she have done? Knowing what happened wouldnât have changed the outcome. She practically ordered him to tell her whatâs going on like she is his mother.
Weâre surprised that Chanel defended Paulina to EJ. It wasnât that long ago when Chanel blamed Paulina for risking her babyâs life. Once EJ wanted Paulina to pay for what she did, Chanel suddenly did a 180. If Chanel didnât blame Paulina for what she did, why was she giving her such a hard time? Guess Chanelâs the only one that can say bad things about Paulina.
Marlena doesnât have any loyalty towards Eric. Why would she agree to be his psychiatrist after what he did to Eric? We know Marlena is the only psychiatrist in Salem, but she could have recommended someone else to listen to him. Roman didnât want Leo in the pub because of what he did to Eric, yet Marlena was willing to be his psychiatrist.
Why was it so hard for Chad to believe that Abby was alive? With everything that has happened in Salem, Chad shouldnât have been shocked that Abby could be alive. People in Salem come back to life all the time, so Chad didnât need to question if Clyde told him the truth. The only thing he should have focused on was where she was. We know Chad had to have dramatic scenes of questioning Clydeâs word, but it didnât make sense when itâs Salem the town where everyone comes back to life.

Interview with Stars Jennifer Esposito, Annabella Sciorra and Domenick Lombardozzi of “Fresh Kills,” by Suzanne 6/6/24
This is a truly great movie, and I was honored to see it and interview three of its stars. Jennifer wrote, directed and starred in the movie. Annabella plays one of her relatives (aunt?), and Domenick plays her husband. I hope you can see this wonderful film.
In her writing & directing debut, veteran actress Jennifer Esposito (Crash, Summer of Sam, Samantha Who, Blue Bloods) brings the late 1980s/early 1990s Staten Island to vivid life through the lens of Rose Larusso (Emily Bader), an inquisitive young woman who discovers her father (Domenick Lombardozzi) is an emerging mafia kingpin. Roseâs growing desire to break free from the path set before her soon threatens her existence and alienates her from her closest allies: her mother (Esposito), aunt (Annabella Sciorra) and sister (Odessa Aâzion). Smart, thrilling, and nuanced, FRESH KILLS turns the classic mob movie inside out, by taking audiences on a journey with two teenage girls, living in a mafia life filled with violence, fear, and rage. A closed off world that dictates who these young women are destined to become⌠unless they fight to break free.
