We Shine the Spotlight on DEVIOUS MAIDS’ Reigning Ice Queen Rebecca Wisocky
Every great drama needs an ice queen and in the new Lifetime drama series DEVIOUS MAIDS, Rebecca Wisocky has the pleasure of portraying Evelyn Powell, an ultra-rich dilettante with a keen sense of importance and self-preservation. When Evelyn’s maid ends up murdered in her house, her first concern is to the disruption of her elegant dinner party and how inconvenient sudden death can be, not to mention how messy. In an exclusive interview, Rebecca shared how deliciously fun it is to portray someone as egocentric as Evelyn and what kinds of mischief arises from the unexpected murder amongst the Powell’s lavish mansion.

Video: Anna Ortiz and Susan Lucci Talk DEVIOUS MAIDS
Before actors Anna Ortiz and Susan Lucci took to the stage to dish on DEVIOUS MAIDS — their devilishly fun soaptastic new series premiering on Lifetime and Lifetime Canada this Sunday — they took to the Shaw media press room to face the nation (of TV Critics) to dish.

TV NOW: How Important is the “Water-Coolerness” Factor for Today’s Television?
With the rapidly changing face of television (in the way it is consumed and the way it is made available), it is hard to define just what is “television” today. Viewers are watching shows both on traditional television sets and online, via smartphones, tablets and other devices. Viewers are also refusing to be locked into the traditional model of primetime timeslots and are choosing instead to use DVRs, On Demand, and using online options to watch shows any time they want.

Do viewers feel compelled to watch TV shows at scheduled times in order to be a part of the global conversation, or are they okay with the hot topic of the day passing them by? [Read more…]
