CRISIS Preview: Stars Rachel Taylor and Lance Gross Talk About the New NBC Drama
It’s every parent’s worst nightmare: a kidnapped child. In the new NBC drama CRISIS, the terror is heightened by the fact that a school bus full of high-ranking political and affulent business people’s children are the victims of a mass kidnapping. The show asks the scary question: how far would you go to protect your child? The answer is: you would do anything. And that is terrifying when the parent may be the President of the United States with nuclear codes at his finger tips or a business woman who has no qualms about handing over millions of dollars in ransom that could be used to fund a terrorist attack – all in hope of getting their children back.
With dozens of panicked parents willing to take the law into their own hands, who have infinite sums of money at their disposal and more power than any one person should ever have, CRISIS shows how using children as bargaining chips is a much more effective way to get exactly what they want – and when they want it. And just what do these kidnappers want? That’s even more terrifying.
In a recent press call, stars Rachel Taylor and Lance Gross talked about their characters as an FBI agent and Secret Service agent, respectively. Caught right smack in the middle of this kidnapping and working for agencies famous for not wanting to cooperate or work together, in CRISIS, the immediacy of this threat and the fact that there are so many children caught in the crossfire forces them to team up in unexpected ways.

REVENGE! THE BACHELOR! SCANDAL! TRUE DETECTIVE! SVU! GENERAL HOSPITAL! The TV Addict Week in Rewind
Biggest Bully: Juan Pablo may have been something of an ass, but host Chris Harrison was rude, belligerent and downright dismissive of THE BACHELOR when he refused to declare that he was in love with last lady standing Nikki.
Smartest Decision: Although A&E’s THOSE WHO KILL launched to terrible numbers, the network realized the show has potential and promised to re-launch it later this year.
Oddest Decision: NBC decided to ditch plans to remake THE MONEY PIT. Not because the 1986 movie wasn’t that great to begin with, but because they had difficulty casting the parts originally played by Tom Hanks and Shelly Long. Who knew there was a shortage of actors in Hollywood?
Most Ironic Ratings: Although two years ago, Oprah Winfrey told soap fans she wasn’t interested in saving ALL MY CHILDREN and ONE LIFE TO LIVE because the the genre was dying, sudsy drama THE HAVES & HAVE NOTS just got her struggling network it’s highest ratings ever.
Proof That Nothing Changes: Think that we as a nation have grown up since the Janet Jackson “nipplegate” incident? Not according to the FCC, which received complaints about a wide variety of issues pertaining to the Super Bowl half-time show, including the exposed nipples of the male lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Most Ridiculous Claim: Lena Dunham told Glamour magazine that she just might stop acting once GIRLS has run its course. Something tells us that’ll last about as long as our last diet, which ended about 14 hours after it began. [Read more…]
