Exclusive Interview: We Get the Scoop on TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY From Star Arlene Tur
In the upcoming Starz series TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY, Arlene Tur plays Dr. Vera Juarez, a cardio thoracic surgeon swept up by the miraculous events of what happens when literally every person on Earth stops dying. No matter how dire their injuries, it is impossible for death to claim a single life. It is a medical mystery and a worldwide conundrum.
As seen through the eyes of a doctor confounded by this “miracle” and yet acutely aware that our tiny planet cannot possibly sustain more life due to the rapidly decreasing resources, Arlene’s role is pivotal. She is the voice reminding everyone that this “miracle” has a nasty side-effect: worldwide starvation within months due to this suspension of death. This miracle may not be the miracle that everyone thinks it is.
Dr. Juarez is also the treating physician for CIA agent Rex Matheson (portrayed by Mekhi Phifer) and because of her unique dual position as the voice of the medical community and having the inside ear of the CIA, Dr. Juarez becomes further embroiled in the global events quickly spiralling out of control.
Taking a few minutes out of her own globally busy schedule, Arlene shared what it was like working on TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY and offered a few clues about what to expect. [Read more…]
Ask the Addict: Spoilers for DEGRASSI, ROOKIE BLUE, PARENTHOOD & More!
Dear TV Addict, I know you’re on vacation, but as someone who has really been enjoying your increasingly informative ‘Ask the Addict’ columns as of late I was wondering if there was any chance you could post an abbreviated one this week? — Jeff
The TV Addict: Ask and ye shall receive! Thanks in no small part to our somewhat insatiable addiction to TV, coupled with the unexpected access to high speed internet available at the current undisclosed location we find ourselves staying in, we’re only too happy to oblige with a vacation shortened edition of ‘Ask the Addict’ in 3… 2… 1…
With the new season of DEGRASSI now less than two weeks away, I’m hoping you can provide some intel on what to expect. Have I mentioned I cannot wait for July 18th? — Hillary
The TV Addict: Think you’re excited for DEGRASSI’s July 18th premiere (9PM on TeenNick and MuchMusic in Canada), well, join the club. In fact, we’re so enthusiastic for the eleventh season of Canada’s most popular export that we decided to cajole our source on the set to share some scoop… and share he (or “she” did!). Not only will the one-hour season premiere feature a VERY (Editor’s Note: Our source actually took it upon themselves to type “very” in all caps) unexpected death, the aftermath will be felt throughout the season. What’s more, continuing the show’s penchant to go where no teen-oriented show has gone before, our source promises that Adam (Jordan Todosey) is going to explore the physical sides of being an FTM transgender teen.

Exclusive Interview: Coby Bell Teases BURN NOTICE Season 5
After last week’s reveal that CIA Agent Jesse Porter had turned in his government-issued badge in favor of private security consulting, the question on everyone’s mind is: what exactly is Jesse up to? Turning to the man who knows the answers, Coby Bell took time out of his busy film schedule to provide an exclusive glimpse into Jesse’s world.
When asked what was really up with Jesse’s new security consulting job and whether it was a freelance or one-company kind of gig, Coby laughingly said that it is all in the hands of the writers right now. He is just along for the roller-coaster ride. He acknowledged that it was a way of keeping Jesse free to help with whatever comes up in the wild BURN NOTICE adventures with Michael, Fiona and Sam. It also provides Jesse with a source of legitimate income and a way to bring in new clients. As a bit of tease, Coby shared, “We never really talk about the company Jesse works for. You know about it, but we never really go there.” Based on that response, it sounds like there is either something shady going on or the writers are keeping that particular door open for a later date.
When asked if there is one word he would use to describe Jesse, Coby initially laughed and said, “Sexy!” Then he added, “Bad-ass! They’re all bad-ass!” Either one would suit Jesse just fine given his sultry persona on screen and his confidence in some very tricky high-stakes situations. [Read more…]
Tackling the World of NECESSARY ROUGHNESS with Marc Blucas, Scott Cohen and EP Craig Shapiro
When art imitates life, it is often more truthful than reality itself. In USA Network’s new series NECESSARY ROUGHNESS, in a twist of fate, a psychotherapist finds her personal life derailed just as her professional life takes off.
Based on a true story, the show manages to find the truth and trueness of some extraordinary stories (albeit fictionally depicted), but which echo the real world and everything seen in the news. Celebrities, sports figures, politicians and Wall Street wizards all have one thing in common – a breaking point. In NECESSARY ROUGHNESS, it is Dr. Dani Santino’s job to bring back these high-powered individuals from their breaking points. She spotlights or highlights the stress-fractures in their professional/personal lives and teaches them to manage that stress. Therapy is not always the most octane-fueled subject matter, but when looking at the lives of a professional football star, a high-stakes gambler, a radio or television personality, a CEO or even a race car driver, suddenly the inside-look at their lives and how they cope is just a bit more fascinating. After all, who wouldn’t want to be able to know what they are talking about behind closed doors?
NECESSARY ROUGHNESS introduces us to Dr. Dani Santino, brilliantly and deftly portrayed by Callie Thorne, who helps such talented and privileged individuals. But like a mirror does not just one side, each of these glittering stars and celebrities has a side that hides their fears and insecurities – all which combusts or manifests in negative ways threatening their successful professional lives. And like her clients, Dani is not just a great therapist, helping those who do not even know they need help, she too needs a bit of help as her personal life disintegrates. With a divorce, nasty allegations, rebellious teenage children and a mother with a propensity for eavesdropping, Dani must find a balance in her own life. With humor, resilience and some surprising allies, Dani learns to navigate a world of high-stakes and even tougher personalities. It will intrigue you and delight you as you discover the world of NECESSARY ROUGHNESS.
Taking a few moments to talk about the show and what is all about are executive producer Craig Shapiro, along with stars Marc Blucas, Scott Cohen, Hannah Marks and Patrick Johnson (To read more from Callie Thorne about her role as Dr. Dani, visit this article.) Mark Blucas portrays Matthew Donnally, a sports trainer for the Atlanta Hawks football team. Scott Cohen portrays Nico Careles, the Atlanta Hawks’ fixer. Hannah Marks and Patrick Johnson portray Lindsay and Ray J, the teenage children of Dr. Dani Santino. [Read more…]

Melissa and Joey on MELISSA & JOEY!
Last summer saw the debut of ABC Family’s hilarious new series MELISSA & JOEY starring Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence. As a family show, the series focuses on the challenges of a fun-loving politician who, after taking in her teenage niece and nephew after their parents are caught up in an criminal scandal, hires a manny to help out — a former business executive and money manager who just happened to be one of the victims of a ponzi-scheme scandal. The daily travails and conflicts of this make-shift family leads to much comedic tension and provides a light family drama as they all attempt to navigate the tenuous familial life created out of the most absurd circumstances.
As fans of MY FAKE FIANCÉ already know, the chemistry between Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence is dazzling. Whenever they are on screen together, they are riveting. While the show does not overtly focus on the will-they-or-wont-they kind of romantic entanglement, seeing Melissa and Joey’s characters dance around each other as they simultaneously strive to provide parental guidance to Ryder and Lennox — it is clear that they are not only role models for them, but they are also the bookends for their lives in this mixed-up world of comedy laced with a golden heart.
MELISSA & JOEY is about family in the most unusual of circumstances and how love grows in the midst of comedic, and yet perhaps predestined relationships. Family is not something that you have to be born into — it is the people that love you and care for you no matter what the circumstances. [Read more…]
Mark Feuerstein Reveals What’s Ahead on Season 3 of ROYAL PAINS
During a recent conference call, Mark Feuerstein provided some key insight into his character Hank Lawson and what lies ahead in the second season of ROYAL PAINS.
Where do we next find Hank after the nine months that have passed since the last time we saw him?
Mark: It has been a long winter for Hank Lawson. The first time you will glimpse him having lived through the winter and spring, he will have a full beard on his face – a mane as I like to call it, across his entire face. He’s taking care of patients. He lives a full winter and spring running HankMed by himself — or with the help of Divya’s presence and responsibilities never made fully clear. Over the course of the winter, she’s been through stuff with Raj and the cancellation of the wedding. But Evan’s been gallivanting all of Europe with Paige. So it’s been a long winter, but he’s made it through and he will shave his beard for all of our viewers who might not like to see that much hair on his face. And then there’s a lot of new wrinkles and storylines to ensure from having you know, been away from HankMed for nine months. [Read more…]
