BEST LINES by Lori

Steffy: I appreciate your concern, but I trust my doctor. He’s gone above and beyond.

Thomas: Okay. All right. I–I just want to make sure that you’re advocating for yourself.

Steffy: Have you met me?

———————————————————————-

Donna: Okay. I know this seems bad, but this doesn’t–

Brooke: Seems? Shauna plied Ridge with alcohol, and then she dragged him to the altar.

Donna: These sort of things happen in Vegas all the time, don’t they? I mean, people get caught up in the excitement, they get a little buzzed, they win a little at gambling, and, uh, next thing you’re thinking, let’s get hitched.

Recap written by Christine

Phyllis told Abby she had a plan to make more money at The Grand Phoenix. Chance heard Adam had been fired, so he’d been calling to check on him. Abby told Chance that Adam wasn’t the person Chance knew in Vegas. Chance decided to stop pushing and let Adam reach out to him. Victor approved of Chelsea encouraging Adam to forget the past and move forward. Rey was annoyed when Adam came to visit Sharon, but he left them alone together. Adam revealed that he knew Sharon had cancer, and he apologized for dumping his problems on her. Sharon was okay with Adam knowing, and she wanted to help him. Sharon disagreed with Chelsea’s belief that Adam should let the past stay buried. She agreed to counsel Adam. Adam didn’t want Chelsea to know he was getting therapy to remember. Due to ethical issues and their shared history, Sharon said she’d only treat Adam if he was okay with telling Chelsea and Rey that he and Sharon were talking. However, she promised anything said during the meetings was confidential.

Adam told Chelsea that Sharon was going to help him recover his memory. Chelsea thought that was huge mistake. Nick was upset when Rey told him that Adam went back to Sharon’s house. Rey wasn’t jealous, but he was concerned Sharon would focus on Adam when she should be focused on herself. Sharon started to tell Rey what happened with Adam. Victoria asked Jack to help her with some sort of Newman related business. He was excited by her plan, and he agreed.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Eric and Nicole talked about how Sami would react to the idea of them having the baby. Nicole got the impression that Eric wasn’t sure if he wanted the baby. Lucas tried to comfort Sami about Allie. He let her know the baby would be coming out of the hospital soon. He was going to give the stroller to Eric and Nicole. She told him not to do it because Nicole wasn’t going to get her grandchild. Eric told Nicole that Sami would have a bunch of lawyers stop them from taking the baby. They continued to talk about it until Eric changed his mind. They were going to get the baby when Belle said she couldn’t let them do it. Bonnie went to the Kiriakis mansion and had a run in with Victor. He didn’t think Justin would represent her, but he showed up and confirmed it. Belle told Eric and Nicole that Allie didn’t ask them to raise the baby. She handed them a restraining order. Sami told Lucas she had Belle represent her and that she planned to take the baby with her. He told her she wasn’t doing that. Justin explained to Victor why Bonnie was there. Victor thought it was crazy that he wanted to represent her. Eric, Nicole, and Belle continued to argue about getting custody of Allie’s baby. Lucas told Sami she wasn’t taking the baby away from the family. She said she had to get back to EJ. He wanted to know who would raise the baby. She said she would make time for the baby. He blamed her for Allie’s situation. She didn’t like what he had to say so she slapped him.

Bonnie was grateful to Justin for his help. She gave him a gift for his help. Sami apologized for hitting Lucas. He reminded her that baby is his grandchild too. She wanted to know if Lucas wanted Eric and Nicole to raise the baby. He said he could raise the baby in Salem. Nicole realized that he would get hurt again if Allie came back or if the father showed up. Eric knew what Sami was up to so he changed his mind about taking the baby. Nicole was happy and had an idea what they could do next. Sami reminded Lucas why it would be wrong to let the baby stay at the DiMera mansion. He understood what she meant so he gave her another idea. He would be okay with her raising the child, but she had to do it in Salem. She said she didn’t live in Salem and had to take care of EJ. He said it was the final offer for her. Eric and Nicole went to Justin for help with the baby. He thought it would be easier if Allie signed something or was in town. Nicole wanted to know if they had any chance to win. Justin agreed to take the case, but couldn’t guarantee that he would win. Lucas and Sami decided that she would stay with Marlena and take care of the baby.

    Airing 8/22/20 (Saturday) (9:00 PM) VICTIMS OF A SERIAL KILLER AND RAPIST CONFRONT THEIR TORMENTOR IN AN UPDATED ENCORE OF “48 HOURS: THE GOLDEN STATE KILLER”
    Survivors of heinous sexual crimes and the loved ones of victims face their tormentor in an updated encore of 48 HOURS: “The Golden State Killer,” to be broadcast Saturday, August 22 (9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Sneak Peek
    48 HOURS was there this week for the dramatic moments and raw emotion as victims of 74-year-old Joseph DeAngelo, known as the Golden State Killer, got their chance to confront him in a Sacramento, Calif. courtroom and tell their stories at his sentencing hearing.
    “The Golden State Killer” features Tracy Smith and 48 HOURS’ investigation into the serial killer, who has pleaded guilty to having raped at least 50 women and killing 13 people between 1975 and 1986 before he vanished. He had been dubbed the Golden State Killer by late true-crime writer Michelle McNamara, who was hoping to crack the case and write a book when she died on April 21, 2016. At the time, McNamara was married to comic Patton Oswalt, who opened up to Smith about McNamara’s work and the care she had taken in digging up clues on the case.
    A former police officer, DeAngelo was arrested in 2018 after police used DNA technology to tie him to some of the crime scenes.
    48 HOURS: “The Golden State Killer” is the first part of a Saturday night double feature.
    At 10:00 PM, Erin Moriarty and 48 HOURS investigate the murder of Dr. Teresa Sievers, the police’s search for what happened, and the stunning conclusion, in “The Plot to Kill Dr. Sievers” to be broadcast on the CBS Television Network. Did a Florida man hire a look-alike to kill his wife? That’s what prosecutors say happened in the mysterious murder of Sievers, who was found bludgeoned to death in the kitchen of her Bonita Springs, Fla., home in 2015. There were no immediate suspects, and her husband, Mark Sievers, had an airtight alibi. The investigation took police on a 1,100-mile trek and turned up unlikely suspects: career criminal Jimmy Ray Rodgers and Curtis Wayne Wright, Mark Sievers’ best friend, who also happened to look just like Sievers. Wright even shaved his head when Sievers started losing his hair. The case would be far from closed with the initial arrests. Instead, the arrests led to more questions about what happened and another unexpected twist.

    Airing Friday, August 21, 2020 (9:01 PM-11:00 PM EST) OVER 30 YEARS AFTER THE VICIOUS ATTACK ON A JOGGER IN CENTRAL PARK, ‘20/20’ PRESENTS A TWO-HOUR PROGRAM ON THE CASE THAT FOREVER CHANGED THE LIVES OF ALL INVOLVED
    Features Rare Interview With Jogger Trisha Meili and the Only Interview With Matias Reyes From the ABC News Archives, Who Confessed to Assaulting Meili
    Has Interviews With Police Involved in the Case, Speaking Out Following a Lifted Gag Order
    On the evening of April 19, 1989, 28-year-old Trisha Meili was viciously beaten, raped and left to die inside New York City’s Central Park. The series of events that followed triggered a media frenzy and forever changed the lives of all involved, including the five African American and Hispanic teenagers – Raymond Santana, Antron McCray, Yusef Salaam, Kevin Richardson and Korey Wise – who were convicted in connection with the attack due to their confessions, which they said were coerced by police. Their verdicts were later set aside after Matias Reyes confessed to and was convicted in the attack. A reinvestigation of the case against the five teenagers/men by a former federal prosecutor found that there was no police misconduct. Now, over 30 years after the attack, a two-hour “20/20” re-examines the brutal crime and its aftermath, and features a rare interview with Meili, the victim of the Central Park attack; interviews with police involved in the case, speaking out following a lifted gag order; and the only interview with Reyes from the ABC News archives, during which he confessed to raping Meili. “20/20: One Night in Central Park” airs Friday, Aug. 21 (9:01-11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC.

  • CBS 48 HOURS – Saturday, August 22 Show More
    Airing 8/22/20 (Saturday) (10:00 PM) Did a Florida man hire a look-a-like to kill his wife? A GPS leads police right to the hitman’s door. Sneak Peek: https://cbsn.ws/3l6liL0 A FLORIDA DOCTOR BRUTALLY MURDERED – HER HUSBAND HAS AN AIRTIGHT ALIBI – WHY WOULD POLICE TRAVEL 1,100 MILES TO FIND UNLIKELY SUSPECTS?
    “48 HOURS” Investigates in “Eleven Hundred Miles to Murder” (originally aired in February, 2017)
    When a driven Florida doctor is savagely murdered with a hammer in her home, police, as expected, immediately suspect her husband. But he has an airtight alibi. A tip, however, led police on a 1,100-mile trip that took the case in unexpected directions.
    Erin Moriarty and 48 HOURS investigate the murder of Dr. Teresa Sievers and the police search for what happened in “Eleven Hundred Miles to Murder”.
    “This beloved woman in our community had been brutally killed inside her own house,” says Jessica Lipscomb, who reported on this case for the Naples Daily News. “And then once you started to unwrap it a little bit, it was nutty. It was weird. And it was hard to keep track of it all.”
    Indeed, the investigation into what happened in the Sievers’ Bonita Springs, Fla., house that day would give police a case with more twists than the Missouri river and as much intrigue as a Hollywood mystery. Sievers and her husband Mark seemed to have a great marriage to those on the outside, but police – and reporters – would learn along the way that all was not as it seemed. Investigators would learn the couple had money issues and an open marriage, and their work would lead to potential suspects.
    Mark Sievers, who was away from home with the couple’s two daughters when his wife was murdered, immediately spoke to police without an attorney. His stepmother, Jennie Sievers Weckelman, tells Moriarty in her first TV interview that her stepson wasn’t worried about being arrested.
    “He thought, ‘Why would they? What kind of evidence could they possibly have, because I didn’t do anything,’” Weckelman recalls Mark saying.
    The murder gripped Bonita Springs. Who would want the doctor dead – and in such a vicious fashion? There was speculation on the internet that Sievers was somehow tied into a series of other suspicious deaths of other doctors around the country. Weckelman says Mark Sievers believed there could be a tie.
    Two months after the murder, however, police made a stunning announcement: Two men were arrested in Missouri and charged with murdering Dr. Sievers. One of them was nicknamed “The Hammer.”
    The case would be far from closed with the initial arrests. Instead, the arrests led to more questions about what happened and another unexpected twist.
    Was this a plot to get insurance money? Did someone hire a killer? Or was Sievers targeted by a killer out for doctors?
    “Dr. Sievers lived dramatically, and she died dramatically,” says The News-Press reporter Amy Bennett Williams.
    48 HOURS: “Eleven Hundred Miles to Murder” is produced by Lisa Freed, Marcelena Spencer and Michelle Feuer. Michael McHugh is the producer-editor. George Baluzy, Mike Baluzy, Marlon Disla, Jud Johnston and Michael Vele are the editors. Patti Aronofsky is the senior producer. Susan Zirinsky is the senior executive producer.

BEST LINES by Lori

Officiant: Ridge?
Ridge: Uhm-hmm?
Officiant: Was there anything else? That was more of a ‘poem’, I guess you’d call it, than vows.
Ridge: I’d like to buy an ‘A’, please, because it’s a vowel, and I would like to solve a puzzle.

Shauna: I should be over the moon right now. I mean, the man of my dreams pledged to love me forever.
Quinn: And, he will love you forever. But, let’s just put that aside for one second and talk about something just a little bit more important. So, did you HAVE the HONEYMOON?

Steffy is at home. Thomas comes by to visit and they talk about her pain. Steffy is down to her last pain pill. Thomas tells her if she’s still in a lot of pain, she should get a refill to help her get through the worst of it, but Steffy brushes him off, saying she’s got a doctor’s appointment next week and her ER doctor has been checking on her. Her doctor wants to step down to over-the-counter medication, and she agrees so she can remain available for her daughter. As Thomas is getting ready to leave, he offers to help Steffy with anything she needs, including grocery shopping. She appreciates it but tells him she’ll be fine… then she takes her last pill.

In Brooke’s bedroom, Donna comes in to offer support for Brooke, who is still distraught, thinking about her last conversation with Ridge. Brooke still can’t accept that her marriage is over and that Ridge is now married to Shauna. They discuss how it could have so easily happened. Brooke thinks Ridge was plied with alcohol and dragged to the altar, whereas Donna thinks he just got caught up in the moment, as people do after they’ve been drinking and gambling. And Donna says that’s why they invented annulments. Donna tells Brooke that she’s sure Shauna would give Ridge the annulment, knowing he’s still in love with Brooke. Brooke is having a difficult time believing Ridge could love her when he could so easily commit himself to another woman. Meanwhile, Ridge returns to the Forrester mansion just as Quinn and Shauna are concluding the conversation about their secret. Ridge is tired and decides to go to bed. Quinn urges Shauna to go after her husband so she can comfort him. When Shauna goes to Ridge’s room, she tells him that she’s his wife now and wants to act like one. She’s going to leave him alone, but when he’s ready, she wants to show him how much she loves him. Before she walks out, they kiss. After Shauna leaves, Ridge and Brooke think about special moments they shared.

As Shauna and Quinn are still celebrating the new “Mrs. Ridge Forrester,” Shauna recalls the phone call and events that led her and Ridge to the wedding chapel in Vegas. Quinn thinks it was “a good thing” that Shauna knew the guy who ran the wedding chapel, although Shauna admits he really did not want to perform the ceremony. The officiant suggested postponing the wedding, but Shauna told her friend not to ruin her wedding night and insisted he just do it, so he pronounced them husband and wife. Shauna tells Quinn she believes can still make Ridge happy as his wife but is still concerned about how it all played out. When asked about the wedding night and if she and Ridge made love, Shauna tells Quinn that the Forrester pilots barged in and dragged him away before it could happen. Quinn assures Shauna that Ridge married Shauna because he loves her and all they did was made it legal; no one needs to know, and it will always be their secret.

At Brooke’s house, Brooke has just learned that Ridge is now married to Shauna. Brooke doesn’t understand how it’s possible when their divorce papers were never filed, and Ridge can’t explain it because he doesn’t remember anything about that night; he only knows what Shauna told him, and there’s a marriage certificate. He tries to tell a devastated Brooke how sorry he is, that he loves her and wants to spend his life with her. Although they signed their divorce papers, Brooke said they were never filed. Ridge doesn’t know how it happened but thinks they must have been filed before he and Shauna got to the chapel, and Carter wouldn’t have done it if he hadn’t told him to. Ridge tells Brooke that he doesn’t want to be married to Shauna and “it’s just paperwork,” but Brooke sees it as being more than “just paperwork” – this is a betrayal. She doesn’t want to hear that he was drunk and that he doesn’t remember – she doesn’t care. She yells at him and orders him to leave. Ridge tells Brooke he loves her and always will. At Forrester Creations, Hope and Zoe talk about what a great team they make, especially the way they were able to take down Thomas together. They brainstorm on fine-tuning their messaging for the diversity and inclusion campaign and come up with a Hope for the Future Scholarship, which they will work on together. In Eric’s office, Eric and Donna are discussing Ridge marrying Shauna. Donna can’t believe it happened because Ridge never filed the divorce papers and is still married to Brooke, but Eric sadly assures her it’s real because there are pictures and a wedding certificate, and Ridge had Carter execute the divorce papers before the wedding.

Interview with Rico Torres

TV Interview!

actor Rico Torres

Interview with Rico Torres of “Ballers” on HBO and “Penny Dreadful: City of Angels” on Showtime by Suzanne 8/3/20

This was a fun interview. Rico has a lot of energy and enthusiasm, and we got along very well. I think he’ll have big success in the future. If he doesn’t, it sure won’t be for lack of trying.

Here is the audio version of it.

Suzanne: I’m sorry to hear that you were bullied in high school. I was bullied in elementary and junior high, so I know how you feel.

Rico: Yeah, it was junior high; it was middle school and high school. I mean, that is the toughest time for any kid. You think the world is going to end. You think it’s literally – like, yeah, it’s insane. Because now after, you know, you graduated, none of that matters. None of that matters, right? I went through this entire journey and I never, never told anybody. You know, I never told my parents; I never told my brothers. I remember coming home one day actually, I think this was like in eighth or ninth grade, my black eye, my face was just tore up. And I told my parents, you know, I ran into a door. I remember that so vividly. And I actually got beat up. And yeah, I mean, you know, my middle and high school, I was bullied, because I had asthma, because I had anorexia. And what made matters worse, was, I guess, I was born – I hate saying this, because I hate being cocky and stuff, but I’m not I’m not ugly. You know?

So, I guess a lot of girls were attracted to me, and that just made matters worse, because a lot of guys would get mad, so mad, because I had all these different things. You already know. One thing led to another, and it was just so awful. And for so many years, I fell into such a like depressive, anxious – it was for years years, and I kind of I guess I played video games to get my mind off of things. And I tell the story all the time. I remember only eating like one or two (meal tickets?) a day. And I guess I wasn’t even aware that I even had anorexia, because I was getting bullied. You know what I mean? (Unintelligible), my dad was never home, this and that, this thing will kill somebody. It’s going to make somebody commit suicide.

But it wasn’t until, you know, one day I remember, I literally just stared at myself in the mirror for like an hour. And I literally said – because after, you know, countless meetings with the doctor and I was like, “Yo, problem, man,” and I never took any of the medications, and then my mom would try to feed me more, but I said “no,” and I just simply wasn’t aware of it. When I’d stare at myself in the mirror, and I said, “Yo, problem,” that’s when everything changed. I’m like, I’ve been bullied, I keep denying the help from my parents, the doctors. That was the solution to everything, admitting to myself that I have a problem. And after that, I mean, then I reached out for help. I’m was like, “Mom, please send me anything,” whatever. And then my brother I get from the time I was working out, I’m like, “Please show me anything. I can’t I can’t keep this up.” And then one thing led to another, and then I gained confidence from working out, from eating, and the rest is history. I broke out of that. I broke out of that.

Suzanne: Yeah, that’s tough. And I think boys can be bullied a lot worse than girls. I mean, girls can be bullied for sure, and girls are mean and catty and all that, but the physical stuff i think is more of a boys thing. You know, it’s much worse.

Rico: Agreed. It’s horrible.

Suzanne: Yeah, I lucked out, because I went from sort of a ghetto school in middle school, or junior high, they called it back there, to a nice – I was in a foster home, so I got into a nice foster home in a really nice area where the kids didn’t do stuff like that. So, I was lucky. I was still a total geek, and they probably talked about me behind my back, but nobody punched me or beat me up or anything, but I know how you feel, up to a certain extent, obviously. But you turned your life around. That’s good that you were able to do that. It was good that you were able to turn your life around like that.

Rico: Oh, yeah. Oh, man, to be honest with you, as we’re talking about all this, and as I, you know, sit here and think about everything that’s happened in my life, I don’t regret anything. I sit here and I’m smiling; I’m telling you I’m not even lying, because all that really shaped me to who I am today. I mean, I don’t know if you read it, but I went to school, I went to college for pre med. I was following this doctor route kind of like for years and years and years. And I crossed off all these items off the checklist, you know, like (unintelligible), medical missions trips, shadowing doctors, this and that, and I mean, next thing you know, I don’t know, like senior year of college, I just know I broke out again, just continuously breaking out of like this paradigm that we’re all raised to believe in. And because, for years, I followed that, and then I guess I got into modeling, because I’m like, I can make money off of this; everybody always told me.

I got into that, you know, and one thing led to another. A modeling agent, I guess, who was also part talent agent, got me an audition. I’m like, “What is that?” And I went to it, and I did awful. But then I guess I got a callback and I’m like, “What is that?” I’m like, I’ve got take this seriously. They gave me the numbers. They’re like, “If you get this, this is a lead role for a feature film. If you get this, you know, you get $900 a day for 15 days,” and I’m like, “That’s $15,000 in two weeks? That’s crazy.” Yeah.

So, then I actually tried really hard. I got into the room with two producers. And, I mean, long story short, I didn’t get it, but, I mean, for the Cruises (?) to literally say, “I love your style,” that’s crazy. And they kind of opened my eyes to the whole new world. And I’m like, medicine, I don’t even like it. I was going with traditional medicine, and I’m into holistics. I hate the whole traditional medicine, because the pharmaceutical industry is killing the entire world. I mean, the US, because that’s the most profitable industry in the US. So, I mean, I was just following, I don’t know, it’s crazy. I don’t know how to explain it.

Suzanne: No, it makes sense. It totally makes sense now, how you went from being wanting to be a doctor to be an actor. At first, I thought, how did that happen? But no, the way you explained it makes perfect sense. You didn’t really have your heart in the doctor thing, and then you started the modeling, and then that led to the acting, and now that makes a lot of sense.

Rico: And then the app thing led to just like, entrepreneurial ventures. And then next thing, you know, my book is being published September 1st, because I actually love writing. Who would have thought? Like if I’d never broke out of that, you know, pre med just doctor doctor doctor doctor, I’d have never found out what I actually truly like to do and what I’m actually truly talented talented in. Oh, that’s crazy.

Suzanne: Well, I didn’t know that you can write. What was the book that you wrote?

Rico: Oh yeah, it’s about “Know your norms.” So, basically, I mean, it just talks about social norms. It talks about it from from the moment you’re born, to the moment you kind of die. So, it’s like all that in between, and it starts from the very beginning. I incorporate some of my personal life experiences in there, because I believe that storytelling changes the world. So, I incorporate some of my own stories, you know, the anorexia – I was I was born into the color blue, because I’m a boy. Like, girls are born to the color pink. Girls are given toys; boys are given guns and cars. You know what I mean? Since are born, we are being tricked. And it’s that paradigm that I’m talking about. We’re being tricked into just following these rules made by society. And that’s why like 1% of the world are quote, unquote, aware of all of this and like 99% aren’t, and they simply just follow that entire, you know, playbook that’s given them for their entire life, and they don’t realize or find out about, you know, anything else in the world. So, I mean, I’m so excited about this book that I made. It truly came from the heart. I love it. I was like, this is crazy. Hopefully, it opens up so many other people’s eyes and minds like it did to me. I mean, I just try to make people aware.

Suzanne: Can we buy that on Amazon? Is it on there?

Rico: Absolutely. We publish a lot of places. Because this is my first book. I’m so publishing everywhere. Hopefully, you know, my second or third book, which I’m actually already working on my second book, hopefully, you know, when my second or third book, I actually, you know, get a literary agent and the traditional publishing and etc, etc. I’m used to the whole game. So, I was looking at it like, oh –

Suzanne: Well, it sounds it sounds really good. You know, I agree with what you’re saying, because, obviously, we all know, to a certain extent, that the whole thing about school is not just there to inform you, it’s there to mold you to be a good citizen. And your parents try to do the same thing. But one thing I’ve always thought is that people don’t plan their lives they do like you said, whatever their parents tell them, the schools tell them, and we’re all told, you must get a good job. You must go to college, you must get married, you must have kids, all that stuff, and few people question it. And then, if something terrible happens, like a divorce, they’re completely thrown, because they never considered it. And we put all this thought and money into the wedding, but nobody really talks about the marriage or whether you should have kids and all that stuff. So yeah, I totally see what you’re saying. I’ve always thought that.

Rico: And then like exactly what you’re saying, then if you go even more in depth, it’s literally just years and years and years of your life just wasted, just trying to follow your parents’ expectations or society’s expectations. And then you’re trapped, and then you become unhappy and it’s like no, do what you love, and that’s it.

Suzanne: And it causes things like anorexia, with society always telling us we have to be skinny to be beautiful.

Rico: Oh, yeah. There’s so many. Oh, and I feel so strongly about mental health, especially because of social media. I hate it. Oh, man. Oh, man, living here in LA. I’ve only lived here like, a little under two years. I’ve already been exposed to all of the type of people that are just crazy about their image. And I’m like, “What are you doing.” And then what they do when they post all this other stuff on Instagram and whatnot, they’re just, you know, the average person or the average Joe, the normal person who really doesn’t get exposed to all this you know, in LA or Hollywood, Atlanta (?) or whatnot. They see that and then they believe that to be true; they believe that that’s what you need to be successful. They believe that you need to look a certain way. And they just use square[screw?] everybodys lined up, man.

Suzanne: Right. That’s true. Yeah, my sister-in-law and her husband are from LA and they lived there a while, and it was all about you have to you have to put up – and she wasn’t even an actress for very long. But you have to put on this show for people you have to always look perfect, and you have to be seen, and I was like, “What?” I thought it was crazy. So, I know what you’re saying. And then everybody there is just pressured to do that, and, you know, it’s crazy.

Rico: Yeah, and while I’m still, you know, honestly, why I’m still here and why I’m still, you know, striving to do all these things in TV and film, and I guess, in the realm of Hollywood is because well, first of all, I needed a break. Somebody in your family has to break out. Somebody has to break out of that, you know, generational norm because, you know, you need to build that generational wealth and my entire family’s core, and core as in financially and core, you know, inside…I was going to say, it’s kind of like how Tupac’s dead – you know who Tupac is, right? Tupac Shakur. Yeah, I don’t know, I just love his message. I love everything that he’s ever – aside from that whole gang stuff, gang related stuff, I don’t approve of that. But like, I love hearing people’s misfortunes, but to have Tupac, and how he broke out of that, and how he’s so intellectual and he just wanted to inspire and spark someone’s brain to kind of do exactly, not exactly the same, but, you get what I’m saying right? I can’t explain it right.

Suzanne: Yeah. No, it’s all right; I understand. So, were you in drama at all in high school or you didn’t do anything like that?

Rico: Absolutely not. That’s why I love it, there is no there are no rules. I’m not big. I’m not an A-List or anything like that, but in under two years, I’ve already been, you know, featured in some of these big productions. I may not have had a leading role or anything like that, but I still landed something in these huge productions. And I’m still getting massive auditions, getting all this recognition and stuff. I’ve never taken an acting class in my life. So, like people go through all this schooling and stuff, and all I mean, there are no rules. You set your own rules.

Suzanne: Well, I wasn’t thinking so much training. It’s just it’s a lot of fun in high school. I did drama in high school.

Rico: Yeah, I’ve heard I’ve heard Yeah, yeah, I missed out on that. I’ve heard it’s a lot of fun.

Suzanne: It is a lot of fun.

Rico: Like the improv side of stuff, yeah, I would have loved to do all that.

Suzanne: So, you’ve never done any stage plays or anything like that, just TV and movies?

Rico: Yep.

Suzanne: Oh, cool. Well, you might one day, right? You might do a play or something.

Rico: Anything is possible; I might do everything. Absolutely. I’m actually taking vocal classes. So, I’m bilingual; I’m Colombian, and I really like Latin music. So, I’m trying to get into that.

Suzanne: Cool.

Rico: Not into the industry; I hate the industry. Well, like you said, for fun.

Suzanne: For fun, yeah, right. And, you know, since you’re smart and you like to write, you might, who knows, you might write a play one day or a screenplay.

Rico: Oh, I already wrote one.

Suzanne: Oh, good. I figured, right?

Rico:  I wrote a screenplay for a trilogy. I don’t know how to get that to distribution. I don’t know how to get that to the right eyes. I don’t know anything. I’m kind of like learning as I go. But yeah, it was amazing. I would love to see that actually come to fruition. Kind of like “Rocky,” kind of like Sylvester Stallone, how he wrote “Rocky,” that’s kind of like what I’m trying to do with my screenplay.

Suzanne: Cool. So what would you say is your biggest role so far?

Rico: I would say the one from “Ballers,” but I just –

Suzanne:  Sorry, is that a tough question?

Rico: Yeah, it is, because it was such a small role. So it’s like, ah, it sucks.

Suzanne: That’s all right. That’s okay. That’s fine. That’s an honest answer.

Rico: I mean, I‘ve only been at this for a year and a half. I want a lot more than just, you know, two or three scenes.

Suzanne: Yeah, well, you just gotta give it time. You’ll you’ll get there. It’s good that you’re proud of what you’ve done so far. That’s good. I think a lot of people fail because of lack of confidence, so that’s good.

Rico: Yeah, exactly. I’m not afraid to take on you know, under five roles. I’m not even afraid to be an extra. I did that, you know, all first coming out here. I did extra, extra, extra, extra extra. A lot of people don’t care about that, but like, no, I mean, Tiffani Haddish was an extra. I mean, Sylvester Stallone was an extra. I mean, they did a lot of extra stuff.

Suzanne: Yeah, that’s how they get started.

The IMDb says that you’re in a film called “LA Rush.” Do you know when when that’ll come out?

Rico: Who knows. I did that in the very beginning. It’s already been like a year and a half, two years. I don’t know why that’s still in production.

Suzanne: Well, maybe the pandemic affected it.

Rico: This Covid, man, it takes me so many of my projects that I’m hopefully going to be in.

Suzanne: Yeah, we’re all in the same boat on that, I think, especially people who have projects going in Hollywood.

Do you have anything else that you were working on before the pandemic hit, like shows or auditions or whatever?

Rico:  Oh, a bunch of them. I had like, three or four and then like a bunch of auditions and stuff, but everything is just being delayed. I mean, series, pilots, like this and that. I don’t know if they don’t even want me anymore. It’s crazy. I don’t know. I don’t know anything. I understand; I understand.

Suzanne: Ask your agent about the soap operas, because they’re all going back in production now. They’re they started before any of the other shows.

Rico: Soap Operas?

Suzanne: Yeah, daytime soaps.

Rico: My agent sucks. I don’t ever go out for anything in Spanish. I’m kidding. I’m learning; I’m going. I’ve been through, in a matter of a year and a half, I’ve been through like three managers, three agents, this and that. And it’s like, and it’s not because of me. It’s not because of me because, you know, I’m just trying to get work. I’m like, “Hey, you know, anything that you need, let me know. I’ll go on five auditions every single day. Let’s go.” You know what I mean?

Some of them don’t get back to me. And I’m like, come on. Like, really? I’m just trying to work. I’m trying to make you money.

Suzanne: Yeah. I don’t know how some people get their jobs.

Rico: So, I mean, yeah, I’m just taking it slow. You know, something will come up. I mean, with that, with commercials, with modeling, I have so many things, so many routes, so many seeds planted. It’s like, one of them’s going to blow up, you know?

Suzanne: So, what have you been working on for the past four months besides writing? Anything else? I’m sure you must.

Rico: Yeah, I love to write. I have a couple businesses. I’m developing an app, but that’s going to take some time.

I’m in the process of creating actually a men’s cosmetics line. Again, that’s going to take several months so, what else? Yeah, I’d have to look at all my stuff, but a lot of stuff. I mean, everything is especially like, pending, like how can I even talk about it.

Suzanne: What we’ve been doing just to relax or have fun?

Rico: I just work every day. No, I go to the gym every day, take my mind off of things. I meditate, you know, 30 minutes before I go to sleep and 30 minutes after I wake up, to keep my mind sane from all this stuff, especially because I came out here alone. I left everybody and everything over there in Florida. So, I’ve been at this alone, and sometimes it gets to me, and then especially when you’re single. I just feel like everybody here has the worst intentions possible, and it kind of messes with you mentally. I keep myself sane by working out, and – oOh sorry go ahead.

Suzanne: I was just going to say, you got therapy before to help you with the depression, anxiety and anorexia, did they also teach you how to eat right and all that kind of thing?

Rico: I did not follow. I’ve always had a problem of following directions in order. I don’t know why, I mean, I don’t want to some stubborn, but I just learned things on my own. I mean, asked for help, but on my own terms. I don’t know. It’s so weird. It’s so weird, do I sound bad saying all this?

Suzanne: No, no, no. You have your opinions and you have confidence. That’s good.

Rico: Yeah. So, I mean, for example, like, you know, like doctors were telling me this. I mean, it’s because I’ve been diagnosed incorrectly. And then I hear stories of other people being diagnosed incorrectly and given wrong medications, and this, this, and that, and how corrupt everything and everyone is. And it’s like, oh my God, so, I do my own research. But the doctor tells me I have this, this, and that, and then I started doing my own research. I started looking at peer reviewed articles, I start looking at studies, I [would] actually go get the exams, expensive exams, to make sure if what they’re saying is true, and more than likely, it’s not. I mean, I’ve been through – I was (unintelligible) accident, you know, in 2015, and I had to have jaw surgery. Yeah, my whole mouth split open. He was just, I mean, I don’t even know how my life today. But yeah, I actually had jaw surgery. And my surgeon, I mean, he did a great job. You know, he put it back together, but he put it back together incorrectly. What else can go wrong? Right?

I mean, I just find this out what, three, four years later, and I have not stopped looking at myself in the mirror, you know, every single day, every single morning I look at myself and I see the bottom jaw is just all crooked. And I mean, yeah, I’m a confident human being, but it’s like, I look at that every day, you know, and then I have problems with my nose, and it’s because of that. So, I mean, I have to go to a doctor, like many, many, many doctors, and try to figure out what the heck is wrong with me. You know, if it’s neurological or if there’s a nerve damage. And what about my jaw? You know, because it’s diameters off, and how do I correct that with all surgery, because surgery will just ruin you even more. Sorry, I’m ranting.

Suzanne: No, no, it’s fine.

Rico: I don’t even know what the point of me saying that was.

Suzanne: Well, you know, you made me forget now what I asked you, but that’s okay.

Do you have any advice for kids who are bullied or for kids who want to become actors?

Rico: So for the bully ones, you got to ask for help. I mean, if you’re being bullied, my advice would be to actually just sit down. I feel like people, kids, get away from your parents for a little bit, or your friends or whatever, just be alone for a little bit and actually just think about stuff, just think about what you’re doing, who you are, what’s happening around you, the bullying and all that. Because people are always with somebody, always with parents, so there’s always an opinion. There’s always a “I’m so scared to tell them I’m being bullied or whatnot.” But when you go by yourself – I’ve been by myself a lot. That’s how I’m aware of so many things. When you’re by yourself you think; you get into your thoughts a lot. The problem with that is you can’t be by yourself for too long, because that’s when you go crazy, right? That’s when somebody who’s not, you know, strong willed, strong minded, they’ll fall into a very bad, very bad state of mind. But take a week or two weeks or whatever, and actually just be by yourself. Go to the library by yourself and just think about what’s going on, and then and then admit it. You know, a lot of people don’t admit it. That’s the problem with America. You know, a lot of parents. They say to their kids, “You’re not fat; you’re big boned.” No, you’re fat. I’m sorry. I like the tough love. No, it’s true. Because that kid, their entire childhood is going to just go through their life thinking they’re just big boned. Right? And if they admit to themselves that they’re fat or overweight, that they’re obese, then you can do something about it, the first step in anything and any solution is admitting. Become aware that there’s a problem. Make or work towards finding a solution. But, yeah, to that I say, take some time to be alone, away from everybody and everything in all of society’s pressures and restrictions, and this, this, and that.

And then for the acting thing, I would never recommend a child to do this. It’s crazy. And I say that, because at least my children aren’t going to do it. I mean, at least until they’re 18, then they can do whatever they want. You know what I mean? Because, I mean, there’s a bunch of child actors that become – yeah. And the reason for that, I believe at least, is because they don’t go through, you know, a normal life. So, at like 12 or 14 or whatever, when they instantly become famous, when they instantly get access to all this money, they can get whatever they want. When they instantly get all this fame, you’re in the public eye. You can’t do anything, you know what I mean? You can’t do anything, and then like you’re out; you’re just trying to play basketball, right? And you know, you have all these pop rocks in here, whatnot. And you’re like, I can’t even have fun. So, you don’t even get the opportunity to live your life.

Suzanne: Yeah, I think it really depends on the parents they have, how normal they are, and also, the kid itself, you know, how they view what they’re doing? Yeah. Because I know some actors, they started age five, and then they go on to have a successful career, and they’re normal, but they probably had normal parents. I mean, by normal, you know, the parents supported them and let them make the decision about whether they wanted to do it and that kind of stuff. But the ones who have stage moms or whatever, it’s not so good.

Rico: Yeah, and that’s the thing though. If you’re a successful actor, celebrity, whatever, you have kids.

I mean, honestly, it all falls on the parents, because if you think we’re all right, and it’s kind of like what we were saying earlier, teach them. Teach them that a lot of the things in Hollywood are just fake. Teach them that a lot of that stuff does not matter. It’s meaningless. It’s just, a way of creating art, but then a lot of the things that follow that are just a lot of fakeness and this, this and that. And then, you know, if you teach them a certain way, and the reality, then you kind of teach them the normality and the enjoyment of life, of the little things. And teach them it’s about nature and trees and this isn’t that. I mean, I know that’s kind of like weird I even just – like, what are you talking about? But it will all make sense for the kid.

Suzanne: Yeah, they have to have a normal childhood, whether they’re acting or not.

Rico: Exactly. But, I mean, yeah, if somebody wanted to follow the acting route or whatever at whatever age, my advice is to not listen to anybody. Because I’ve only been at this a year and a half, or two years, and before my career even started – you know how I told you I was with like three managers, or three agents or whatever, how many times each and every single one of them have told me, “I’m going to end your career before it even starts. You don’t know how small the town is. You’re never going to get a job ever again.” I’m like, “Okay, wow, thanks for being so nice. I hope you have a better day.” I mean, no wonder. If you have a weak mind, you’re going to get destroyed in this industry. You’re going to get eaten alive. It’s crazy how all these people threaten you.

Suzanne: That’s sad. Well, I’m glad you were able to get past that and rise above those people.

Rico: Yeah, I’m still getting through it. There’re still millions of rejections and millions of people trying to threaten me. Whatever.

Suzanne: Yeah, no I understand. well I hope I hope that you can get into some – the I know a lot of the auditions now are through self tapes. So, hopefully you can do some of that. That would be good, instead of having to wait for the pandemic to be over.

Rico: Yeah, yep.

Suzanne: Yeah, well, I think the whole industry is waiting to see – whether they know it or not, they’re waiting to see what happens with the daytime soaps, because they’re the first ones to start back, and they’re utilizing all these different ways, between camera tricks, ways to be safe, and all those different things. So, if they can do it, then the rest of, you know, TV and movies can follow, hopefully.

Rico: Yeah. I’m so excited to get back to work. It’s so much fun creating art.

Suzanne: Well, I really appreciate you talking to me.

Rico: Oh, absolutely. I appreciate you talking to me.

Suzanne: And thanks for checking out my website. And we’re moving our site to TVMEG.COM, and we’ve already moved a lot over there. So, check it out. That’s where your interview will be.

Rico: Oh, cool, yeah, absolutely.

Suzanne: Great. Thank you.

Rico: Thank you so much. Have a great day.

Suzanne: You, too. Bye.

Donna and Brooke continue to chat about Brooke’s upcoming trip to see Bridget in New York, and her reuniting with Ridge. Brooke is supposed to fly there on the Forrester private jet. Brooke feels a little bad about leaving, since they’ve finally patched things up. Donna suggests that she postpone her trip. Quinn’s name comes up, so they talk about how awful she is. Brooke is glad that Quinn didn’t get what she wanted. She hopes Quinn and Shauna realize there’s nothing they can do to get between her and Ridge ever again. Donna assures her that she’ll take care of all of everything while she’s away. Bridget calls to cancel the trip just as Brooke is about to leave. Brooke plans a big surprise for Ridge. At the Forrester Mansion, Shauna tries to get Ridge to remember that they got married in Vegas. She’s very happy and hopes he feels the same. He looks distressed. Quinn suggests leaving them alone, but Eric doesn’t move. Shauna shows Ridge that she has photos and a marriage license. Ridge tells her that he hates hurting her, but it was all fun and games. He’s still married to Brooke and was about to move back in with her. She tells him that he filed the divorce papers the night they were in Vegas. He and Eric look shocked. Quinn smiles wickedly the whole time.

Recap written by Christine

It was the anniversary of the re-dedication of Chancellor Park, so Lily and Billy decided to interview the citizens of Genoa City about Katherine for Chancellor Communications. The characters reminisced about Katherine and flashed back to recent significant events in their lives. Victoria said being successful at Newman came with drama. Nikki declined to comment when Lily asked for her thoughts on Victoria becoming the Newman CEO. Nikki warned Victor that she thought Billy was planning an exposé on the Newmans. Victor ordered Billy not to slander his family. Billy countered that it wasn’t slander if it was true. Adam seemed troubled about Victor saying that Adam killed AJ. Billy asked Adam why he’d been fired from Newman. Adam accused Billy of spreading poison through the town. Billy predicted that Adam would end up alone. Mariah thought about the time Sharon asked her to act as her health care proxy. Lily said her kids got her through her cancer treatments, and she thought Mariah and her siblings would do the same for Sharon.

Rey was there for Sharon ahead of her upcoming surgery. Nick talked with Lily about how much he admired Sharon’s strength. Devon recalled apologizing to Amanda for treating her unfairly and admitted he did it because she looked like Hilary. Amanda told Lily she was happy to be building a life in Genoa City, and she was excited about the new relationship with Nate. Billy told Lily that he wanted to find out what happened with the transfer of power at Newman. Lily was wary because he’d promised not to use Chancellor Communications to carry out a vendetta against the Newmans. He still wanted to pursue it, and he promised not to screw it up. Jack was affected by Dina’s declining health. He also predicted that some unlikely and explosive things would happen in Genoa City. Devon and Elena had a relaxing evening, and he said he was grateful she was in his life.

Primetime DVD Review: “The Good Doctor – Season Three”

DVD Review!

The Good Doctor - Season Three DVD cover

“The Good Doctor – Season Three DVD cover” Review by Suzanne 8/10/20

I enjoyed watching all the episodes of this DVD. I don’t watch the show regularly, so I haven’t seen the first two years.  It was easy to watch, even though I missed all of those episodes.  It’s basically like any hospital show you’ve seen before, such as Grey’s  Anatomy, ER, Chicago Hope, Chicago Med, et al.  From what I’ve read, they’re very accurate with the medical scenes.  It’s mostly a soap opera with medical stories…a little bit like “General Hospital” used to be, before they brought in spies and mobsters.  If you buy the foremost conceit of the show, which is that a high-functioning autistic person (Freddie Highmore, who plays Shaun) could become a surgeon, and you don’t think the main character is irritating, then you’ll probably enjoy the show.

The show was developed by David Shore (“House” – another medical show), based upon a Korean series.  The stories are very good, and the acting is fabulous. Sure, some of the things that happen might be a little cliché.  For instance, every single medical show I’ve ever watched has a scene where some person is trapped under or beneath something, and they seem fine, but then the doctor discovers that if that thing holding them down is lifted, they’ll bleed out and die.  That happened in the two-part finale of this season.  The ending of the season, and that two-parter, was also pretty predictable.  Another story, about a main character dying, did surprise me, though.

In general, it’s very entertaining. Just don’t expect the stories to astound or shock you too much.  It’s worth watching, especially if you like hospital dramas, and it has some great actors, and some very attractive people. It’s not the best show on TV, though. It’s a good ensemble show.  Even though Highmore is the star, he has a large cast of talented actors to support him, including Hill Harper, Richard Schiff, Nicholas Gonzalez, Antonia Thomas, Christina Chang, Paige Spara, Fiona Gubelmann, Jasika Nicole and Will Yun Lee. They have some great guest-stars, too.

The DVD only has two features: a gag reel, and some deleted scenes. That’s pretty disappointing. Perhaps we can blame the scarce features on the Coronavirus.  The series wasn’t cut short for that, though. It has 20 episodes – 2 more than it had the first two seasons. It always ends in March. I was very grateful that they had great closed-captioning and that they had the “Play All Episodes” choice. Some DVD’s don’t do that, which I find annoying.  I hope that next time, they can come up with some better extras for the DVD set.

    BROADWAY AND TV STAR SUTTON FOSTER JOINS ‘WHAT WOULD YOU DO?’ FOR SCENARIO ON AGE DISCRIMINATION
    New Episode of ‘What Would You Do?’ Airs Tuesday, Aug. 11 (10:00 – 11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC
    Broadway and television star Sutton Foster will appear behind the scenes in a new episode of “What Would You Do?” for a scenario on age discrimination, an issue her character Liza Miller on TV Land’s “Younger” faces in the series. “What Would You Do?” airs Tuesday, Aug. 11 (10:00 – 11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC.
    “What Would You Do?” with anchor John Quiñones reveals how people behave when they think no one is watching by using hidden cameras to record real reactions to thought-provoking scenarios created by actors.
    Tuesday, Aug. 11, scenarios include the following:
    · A middle-aged woman walks into a bar to apply for an open bartending position. The on-duty manager makes it clear the woman doesn’t have “the right look.” When pressed, the manager admits she believes the woman is simply too old to work at the bar. How will customers react?
