Stars In Other Roles: Doppelgangers!

[LeftPhalange]

I hope it wins a Golden Globe just because of the title.

It was pretty much trainwreck in that it was colossally bad, but I couldn't look away and watched the whole thing. Now I feel like I need a shower.

[ybrik]

Oh definite trainwreck. However will say that HP was good. It made me think that she could really shine with better material and that she is being wasted on GH. Or actually the fact she hasn't been featured more on GH is a waste.

[dubbel zout]

I watched it starting with the second hour; is the first hour worth it? I thought the second half was a hot mess.

[RedVelvetWaffles]

I thought it was awful and I thought HP was terrible. IMO, it showed how weak of an actor HP is.

[cmahorror]

Watching the Rifftrax version of the horrible musical "The Apple" and I thought that one of the dancers looked familiar - I was right. Finola Hughes is a dancer in the film.

Here she is briefly highlighted in one of the musical numbers Speed.

It happens at 1:05 if you don't want to sit through the whole horrible number.

And yes, that is Catherine Mary-Stewart (ex-Kayla, DAYS) as the lead.

[ulkis]

Is the riff good? I was thinking about getting it.

[cmahorror]

I like it but once you have seen The Apple, you cannot unsee The Apple. You have been warned lol.

[ulkis]

Hee. I've seen Manos, so it can't be worse.

[dubbel zout]

Well, now I've seen the first hour of HP's movie, and it's just as big a mess. The movie has no idea what it wants to be. I thought HP was pretty good, though, considering how terrible the script was. I wonder if she felt this was a step up from GH content-wise.

If you happen to like movie podcasts you should check out How Did This Get Made. They have an episode on The Apple.

Thanks LeftPhalange - I already subscribe to them lol. Love their discussion of Deep Blue Sea with Paul F. Thompkins.

As a horror movie geek, I occasionally go to horror film conventions so I get their newsletters when they put together their panels and guests. Guess who's coming to Texas Frightmare in May for their first convention appearance ever? Rick Hearst (Ric). RH starred in the cult classic Brain Damage in 1988 back when he was still known as Rick Herbst.

[Pete Martell]

Finola Hughes, Ian Buchanan, Mary Beth Evans, and Stephen Nichols on WLOD.

[tveyeonyou]

I guess this is the right place for this, BM is in this movie I've got on the tv called Fatal Honeymoon and I swear from the few minutes I've seen so far, I like him better when he's not Jason or Jake or whatever incarnation he's playing on TFGH. At least his smile isn't a grimace. I'm assuming he turns out to be the bad guy but he seems like he's actually acting instead of going through the motions. YMMV

[cmahorror]

So I'm watching a movie called Frailty, excellent film directed by and starring the late Bill Paxton and co-starring Matthew McConaughey, and I think that Agent Griffin Hull looks familiar. I look it up and the gentleman in question is Derk Cheetwood aka Max Giambetti. He was calm and believable in a small role and he held his own in his shared scenes with Powers Booth.

[dubbel zout]

I finally watched Joy, and I really got a kick out of seeing LW, among others, in the fake soap within the movie. Her hair and costumes were hilarious. It cracked me up that MB had about three lines. Someone had seen him on GH.

[Artsda]

Spinelli was on Homeland tonight. 

[General Days]

My husband is watching a Seinfeld rerun. It's 8.07, "The Checks." In it, James Patrick Stuart plays Brett, Elaine's boyfriend who has a fixation with The Eagles song, "Desperado." 

[ulkis]

@jsbt needs to reserve a ticket:

[Sake614]

So Bradford Anderson was on homeland. Three guesses what type of character he played.

[jsbt]

I'm alerting the United Nations re: that new job

[cmahorror]

Briana Brown (ex-Lisa Niles) has been cast as Claudia Blaisel in the reboot of Dynasty.

http://soapcentral.com/gh/news/2017/0323-brianna_brown_dynasty.php

If the reboot follows in the originals footsteps, this is actually pretty good casting. BB knows how to play crazy.

[dubbel zout]

I couldn't stand Lisa, but Briana Brown did a great job with her.

UGHHH please no: Lindsey Morgan (NuKristina) is rumored to be Joss Whedon's Batgirl.

Everyone says she's really good on her show, so maybe it's not a bad pick? I dunno.

Edited March 31, 2017 by ulkis

[TeeVee329]

I've heard that too, that she's really good on "The 100".  But it's so early, any casting rumors at this point are most likely BS.

[peachmangosteen]

I loved her on The 100. She was the only character I didn't eventually hate lol. I don't watch anymore though so I don't know what she's like lately.

And part of me would feel proud if she was Batgirl lol.

She's a good actress. Way better better than Lexi. 

And she's more like Ex Kristina now not NuKristina. It's been like 4 years since she's been on GH

[jsbt]

I'm going to be the contrarian here. She was terrible on GH and I still don't care for her! All hair and yelling! Prove yourself, Lindsey Morgan! Step Up 2 The Streets!

Edited April 1, 2017 by jsbt

[Oracle42]

It's not like Joss Whedon has historically focused on acting ability for his leads, with the exception of Firefly. He seems to care more about chemistry. SMG and ED were amongst the weakest actors on their respective shows

Like Kristina now?

Lindsey has given some pretty good performances outside of GH. But by all means for your opinion based solely off limited work from 4 years ago.

Thank you, I can, have and will!

Robb Deringer (aka the non Grayson McCouch Sloane) is on DAYS playing the role he was born to play, a sex addict named Scooter.

[peachmangosteen]

That feels like a good role for him lol.

I just found out that he's engaged to Carrie Ann Inaba, which is weird to me.

[TheGourmez]

Coleman!

[dubbel zout]

Kelly Sullivan was on last night's episode of Brooklyn Nine Nine. I almost didn't recognize her because she was a brunette. 

[dubbel zout]

Not exactly another role, but Rick Springfield was a clue in today's NYT crossword puzzle!

[tvgoddess]

Tyler did some Lifetime movie, did anyone watch it? I heard he looked good, but wasn't really in it that much.

[Pete Martell]

A bit of Shell Danielson on SB.

 

[WendyCR72]

To expand on the post above, SB here is Santa Barbara, as opposed to Sunset Beach.  :-P

[Cheyanne11]

Tamara Braun has a small role (as in one scene) on the latest season of "Bosch."  She doesn't look like she's aged at all (and I still think Chloe Lanier is a dead ringer for her).  Also, Shawn Blackmore was on a couple/few episodes of "American Crime" this season.

Speaking of, although it's not on his IMDb page, I'm pretty sure Blake Gibbons is playing "Snake" on Days of Our Lives -- a pimp who drugs women and makes them disappear and is also dealing in some new drug called, "Halo."

[sunnyface]

Hudson West (nu_adamrichish_jake) did a solid job as a kid with a tumor whose parents' stupid religion won't permit surgery to remove it in an episode of Gray's Anatomy.  GA's director did a good job with the young actor but not enough to take away from the main GA characters limelight.

[tvgoddess]

Finishing up my Party of Five rewatch - Kimberly McCullough shows up in the final season as a reporter interviewing Julia.

[peachmangosteen]

I've been wanting to rewatch Party of Five so badly! I wish it was on Netflix.

[tvgoddess]

Yeah, sorry. Hulu.

If you in the US Party of Five is on Netflix, I don't think it's been there long because it just showing up in my recommendations but it's there.

Yep, I just checked. It's definitely there now.

AHHHHHHHHHHH! Thanks so much for this news, guys!
