Wonder Con 2015: CourtneyK spends time learning about THE MESSENGERS from the cast and creators!

The new series, THE MESSENGERS came to WonderCon, and in this particular pressroom, we had quite the large talent pool to talk to! Grand total? 9! Wheeeew! Let’s dig in, shall we? The story is a potentially hot button topic: Religion/Faith and What Humanity actually means. Whoa, heavy stuff! When a mysterious object crashes to Earth, an energy pulse goes out and “kills” a seemingly random amount of individuals. However, each comes back to life (no zombies!) and they are

Natalie Martinez talks SECRETS AND LIES: “I think it’s pretty shocking!”

Tonight on ABC, don’t miss an all new episode of murder mystery drama SECRETS AND LIES, starring Ryan Phillippe as a man wrongfully accused (or is he) of murdering the neighbor boy who (spoiler alert) happens to have been his son.  The boy’s mother, Jess, is played by Natalie Martinez, who you might recognize from UNDER THE DOME and DETROIT 1-8-7, among so many other things, and I spent some time chatting with her about what brought her to this

CRISTELA’s Maria Canals-Barrera previews the end of the show’s first season

Throughout the season, as many brand new comedies have come and gone without much fanfare, CRISTELA has continued to be a very bright spot on ABC’s Friday nights.  Created by, and named after, comedienne Cristela Alonzo, the show follows a multi-generational Mexican-American family as they deal with work and family in Texas. Maria Canals-Barrera stars as Cristela’s sister Daniela and we spent some time talking about what is coming up through the end of this season, plus what Season 2

Wonder Con 2015: Courtney K spends time with the cast of SALEM to preview Season 2

On the first day of WonderCon 2015, I had the pleasure of meeting with some of the people that bring the show, Salem about, with the much-anticipated today! Needless to say, I was very excited to talk about Mary Sibley (Janet Montgomery), John Alden (Shane West) and the rest of dark and twisty characters of Salem with the shows main cast and creators/executive producers Brannon Braga and Adam Simon. Janet Montgomery – Mary Sibley Q: Season 2 for Mary Sibley,

Sammi Hanratty previews SALEM S2 and Lifetime’s SEEDS OF YESTERDAY

If you’ve watched TV or movies over the past 10 years, chances are, you’ve seen the face of Sammi Hanratty (my personal favorite being young Chuck on PUSHING DAISIES). That familiar face has a big April this year as Season 2 of her WGN America show SALEM hits your screens Easter Sunday (sounds like Dollie has some tough decisions to make), and the long awaited premiere of the fourth movie in the Lifetime/Dollanganger series, SEEDS OF YESTERDAY, premieres April 12

JJ Totah talks GLEE’s legacy and what comes next!

JJ Totah is a face to watch as he finishes GLEE’s final season tonight, closes out JESSIE’s next season (and maybe moves on to the spin-off…), and continues to popup on some of our favorite shows.  The self proclaimed number one fan of AMERICAN HORROR STORY spent time chatting with me about what brought him to GLEE, what GLEE has meant to him as a fan and a cast member, and where he goes next. I was wondering what it was

Jason Dohring previews Hallmark Channel’s PORTRAIT OF LOVE

Jason Dohring is all set to star in his first Hallmark Channel movie, and he’s pretty excited about it. Dohring plays Luke Dwyer in “Portrait of Love,” a project about a successful fashion photographer (Bree Williamson, “Gossip Girl”) who returns to her small town and rediscovers the unconditional love of family and the rekindling of a love relationship (with Dohring). A Different Kind of Role Dwyer is a stretch from parts viewers are used to seeing Dohring play (i.e., a

I spent time talking with Jamie

Vanessa Marano previews what is next for Bay on SWITCHED AT BIRTH

ABC Family’s SWITCHED AT BIRTH made a big splash this season when they presented a story line that found Bay Kennish (Vanessa Marano) dealing with questions of sexual consent after a night of drinking at a college party with old boyfriend Tank (Max Adler).  What followed was a story about campus rape told in the gray area where nothing is black and white, and neither party is 100% right or wrong. The story line was handled beautifully by writers and

BATTLE CREEK: A Familiar Cop Show with a Different Feel

Battle Creek promises to be a different kind of cop show.  And prior to its premiere, series creator David Shore and stars Josh Duhamel (Special Agent/Detective Milton Chamberlain) and Dean Winters (Detective Russ Agnew) invited the media to a press conference to discuss just what sets this show apart from all the rest. It’s All in a Day’s Work Duhamel began his preparation to play the straight-laced Chamberlain by going on a ride-along with the real cops of Battle Creek,
