Harvey Keitel is in it too, right?

Yes, he plays the dead wife's father.  I was a little stunned to see him -- an actor's gotta work, but to have gone from working with Scorsese to Lifetime movies, poor Harvey!

[Lillybee]

Bruce Weitz, Anthony Z.. was on an episode of The Guardian. It was nice seeing him not over acting.

Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig also did a Lifetime movie recently. Some of those movies seem like they would be fun to make even if they aren't very good. 

[SlovakPrincess]

They'd be a blast to make, I bet. Also, they make fifty million times more sense than GH ....

Lexi Ainsworth was in one where her classmates murdered her, I think.

(Yes, I watch these often in the background while I clean the house, and no, I am not ashamed).

[dubbel zout]

The shame is watching GH, not Lifetime movies. Heh.

[dubbel zout]

Blake Gibbons is on a Seinfeld episode right now. It's from 1997, and compared to now, he hasn't aged a day.

It looks like Steven Reeves, ex Steven Lars, snagged a recurring role on Nashville. He plays an agent and looks so much better than he did on GH.

[UYI]

Does anyone know if there are any clips on YouTube of Sean Kanan playing a baseball player on Who's the Boss? I've never seen that episode before.

You mean Scott Reeves, but good for him!

Tony Geary can't provide the last thousand?

[dubbel zout]

I don't think actors need to finance a film they're in; TG is the "name" to attract money in the first place. And I imagine he probably worked out some sort of deal to participate in any profits.

[UYI]

Tony Geary continues towards the DARK side..well, at least this doesn't involve crapping on the history of a nearly 40 year old character! 

[TheGourmez]

I say good luck to them, and it looks like they'll get their money, but I just have no capacity to watch Anthony Geary again for a long time.

Bradford Anderson had a role in last nights Minority Report (don't judge. The pickings are slim with the new fall shows. MR is 1 of 2, I'm even giving a try this fall). He was good.

I am extremely disappointed with the new fall shows this year.

 

Last week I tried Life in Peices, Blind spot, Minority Report, Rosewood, and Limitless, and I won't be back for second episodes of any of them.  I only made it through 20 minutes of the latter two.

 

I am going to try Quantico tonight or tomorrow.  

[BestestAuntEver]

I'll be surprised if, Minority Report makes it. It isn't very good. Good moments yet not a cohesive sci-fi at this point. It has one more episode to keep me. I caught the last 10 minutes or so of Rosewood. I'm not sure what Morris Chestnut was going for but he missed it.

I'm surprised you gave so many new show a try. The previews, trailers and teasers for so many of the fall shows sucked to me this year. So many of the premises were bland or fell flat to me. I've already heard a number of Fox's new shows are doing poorly, MR included.

Bringing it back to GH, when I saw BA all I could think was, "at least hE isnt a ube driver". He did a really good job (a number of speaking scenes throughout the show), I just couldn't get the Uber jokes from this board out of my head.

That SBu lookalike who played a Crichton-Clark agent is on tonight's NCIS: New Orleans.  

[BestestAuntEver]

Sean Blake more posted pics from the set of CSI cyber with Patricia Arquette. He's playing an FBI agent. He looks really really good in a suit.

[twoods]

Yay for Sean Blakemore! Maybe I will tune in for him.

Tiger, give Limitless a chance. The second episode was much better than the pilot.

John Stamos is pretty good in Grandfathered. Still mad he didn't make an appearance during the anniversary show- he has aged very well.

This was the other Fall show, I was going to try and I liked the pilot. It actually made me laugh.

[Tiger]

I forgot last week on 'Murder',futught it was funny that a character named "Helena"'s throat was slit. 

 

I wouldnt be surprised if in a future episode if a character named "Nancy Graham" was brutally killed.

Oh, is Michelle Stafford in this too? ;)

 

If Dr. Obrecht tells you to put your tray table in an upright and locked position, you better do it or she'll cram it down your throat.

[Tiger]

Sonya Eddy (Ephiphany) was on this week's "Fresh Off the Boat" as a bartender.

[boes]

Julia Marie Berman has a substantial role as Leia on the new HULU series, Casual, and she's really good.  It took me a little while to figure out it was her.

 

Alisha Boe who played Daphne, Paige's friend on Days of Our Lives, has a recurring role as Becca on the same show.

 

They're both excellent.

[Gigi43]

I never really watched Melrose Place so I had zero interest in the Lifetime Movie version of it that was on tonight, but my Aunt just texted me Brandon Barash played "Michael" in it (we grossly disagree over Johnny, I'm kinda surprised she watched after seeing he's in it.) Thought I'd share, knowing Lifetime it'll probably be on later and tomorrow if anyone's interested.

[jennifer6973]

yep, he and kirsten were tweeting about it all night.

 

He played Thomas Calabro who played Michael.

 

Now what I find really cool is that both Brandon and Thomas have both appeared on NCIS, (in separate episodes granted)

[Tiger]

I saw a few minutes of that and that courtyard set was so small, I think even Uncle Frank was appalled.  The staircase made the Q stairs look like some grand stair at Versailles.  The second floor was barely over the actors' heads.  And that pool looked about two feet deep and literally just wide enough for the actress to fall into.

I have to see this, Melrose was my jam back in the day. I think Brandon would have played an excellent Michael.

Julie Marie Berman has landed a recurring role as a doctor on the upcoming Chicago Med.

Is she supposed to be making homicidal maniac faces in this role, too?

Interesting. Not my type of show at all but I might tune in just to see if JB can pull off being a doctor.

[Tiger]

I hope this inspires some of her former co-workers to leave, if they havent already decided to.  

 

RUN DOM & JASON, RUN!!!

[TeeVee329]

Reading that character description...why can't we get a female doctor like that on GH?

[dubbel zout]

You want a smart, capable woman as a character? They'd put a murdered hobo and terrible love affair in her past. Wrong soap, TeeVee329.

Frank is cheap. Her terrible love affair would be with the murdered hobo (your choice on whether the affair took place before or after the hobo's demise).

[dubbel zout]

The "murdered hobo" was a dig at Steven Lars, but I can see them telescoping the whole thing into the same person: the doctor has the terrible love affair with the hobo then kills him. Presto! The doctor has a "dark" past and current "complexity."

[SlovakPrincess]

Technically, half the characters are already hobos since they don't have real homes

A wimmins with a career AND a personality that doesn't consist entirely of obsession with a menz or da babies?  

 

 

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha . . . 

 

Seriously, good for Julie!  I did not like Chicago PD, but I watch Chicago Fire, and I will definitely give Chicago Med a try now.  

 

And good for her taking a chance while she was still young and didn't have kids to feed.  I get why people with kids wouldn't want to take the chance, but people are still young and unattached should run like hell as soon as they can.

Good for that little actress, getting some good writing and direction for once, and being on a set that wasn't the size of a postage stamp and held together with scotch tape!

[Bringonthedrama]

Speaking of the kids, I saw the little boy actor who plays Elizabeth's son, Cameron, as an almost-victim along with another boy (saved at the last minute of course) in the 10/25 CSI Cyber episode. Good for him for getting work outside of GH.

Real Andrews - a.k.a. Det. Marcus Taggert - has joined Days.

Is it Days' turn to try and bring on every single jobless soap actor there is? Don't get me wrong, I like Real, I just keep seeing casting announcements for that show all the time. I've only ever watched it around the time of the Marlena possession.

[cmahorror]

I was watching Days this week and Jason Cook (ex-Matt) is back there as Shawn Douglas Brady. I didn't watch Days when he was on as Shawn but I did see almost his entire run as Matt Hunter.

 

The scene that got me was when he was sitting with his dad, Bo, who was sick and about to pass out. He encouraged his dad to go to the hospital and see a doctor. I found myself asking why he doesn't just diagnose him himself - he is a neurologist after all lol.

[WendyCR72]

Spied Julie Marie Berman in the Chicago Med preview for next week. She plays a doctor and is making out with some hot guy in said preview.

[peachmangosteen]

I'm not really interested in Chicago Med since I gave up the other two series, but I'm considering watching for JMB. I was never a big fan of her Lulu, but I really liked her in Jane the Virgin and Casual so I'm interested to see how she does with this.
