Is there any chance that Caity Lotz will appear on NCIS: Origins, seeing as her husband (Kyle Schmid) plays Mike Franks? Just a thought from a die-hard Arrow/Legends fan! — Leanne
I like how you think, Leanne! And we are not alone. “We’ve actually talked about that with Kyle — it was brought up one time before — and that’d be so awesome,” co-showrunner David J. North shared with me. “Caity is fantastic, and we’d be so lucky to have her.”

‘English’: The Broadway Play Everyone Needs to See Right Now
The play “English” won the 2023 Pulitzer Prize. Now that it’s open on Broadway, it’s easy to see why.

This act of design self-sabotage doesn’t detract from the brilliance of the play and cast. Of the pupils, Elham (Tala Ashe, whose spikiness gives the play a welcome motor), in her late twenties, wants to study gastroenterology in Australia. This is her fifth attempt at such a class, and she wants to ace it to become a teaching assistant to help earn money in her quest to leave the country. However, Elham is not only tired of the failed attempts, but questioning what the objective of the class is.
*  *  *
Roya says Elham is so obnoxious personally in an English context she will have “no redeeming qualities.” This may be true, but Ashe adeptly makes all of Elham’s jagged edges—and there are many—totally understandable. Indeed, we cheer for her when she finally beats know-it-all Omid in a game of “Things you find in a kitchen.”
