Interview with Rebecca Romijn, Jess Bush, Martin Quinn, Celia Rose Gooding, Babs Olusanmokum and Melissa Navia of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” on Paramount+ by Suzanne 7/12/25

I was very excited to speak to these actors because I love this show. To be honest, I’ve been a “Star Trek” fan since I was a little girl in the 60’s, and I love the entire franchise, but this is the only current Trek show, as well as arguably the most popular one in a long time.  Unfortunately, star Anson Mount (Pike) had a personal emergency, so we didn’t get to speak to him. I think Christina Chong (La’an) was also called away (both were originally listed for the press day).  Still, it was great to speak to the wonderful actors on this show who play Number One, Christine Chapel, Scotty, Uhura, Dr. M’Benga, and Erica Ortegas. This was a roundtable, and there were quite a few journalists there. You’ll hear many voices on the interview, asking the stars questions. I hope you enjoy it, and the upcoming season, which begins July 17 on Paramount+. Hit it!

Days Nitpicks & Flubs For The Week Of June 30, 2025

Nitpicks & Flubs

 

by Michele & Cheryl

Monday

-Unless we missed something, how did Paulina know that Gabi was the one who heard Johnny threatening EJ? She talked to Belle about it as if she knew for a fact that Gabi was the witness.

-Did Arianna forget about her uncle? She talked about Johnny being a good guy like he wasn’t her uncle. Arianna acted as if he was just a guy she knew and not her uncle.

-Chanel was crying without any tears.

-Paulina didn’t want to look biased in Johnny’s case, but she ordered the arresting officer to let Chanel talk to Johnny before he was taken to his cell.

Tuesday

-Arianna acted as if she didn’t know the menu for the pub. The pub is her family’s place so you would think that she would know the menu.

-Who told Kristen that Johnny was arrested? The only person who would have told her (EJ) was with Johnny at the police station.

-Rachel was having nightmares so why would Brady and Kristen let her watch a horror movie.

Wednesday

-Nicole didn’t stay in Salem very long. She was there for Holly’s graduation, but she didn’t stay in town that long.

-Sophia gave birth to her baby, but she looked like she was ready to go out. Her hair was perfectly styled, and she still had her makeup applied. Most likely women who give birth don’t look like they’re ready to go out.

-It was practically pitch black when Doug was with the henchman, but it was lighter outside when Doug was at the town square.

-Sophia managed to give birth and clean up the mess before her parents got home.

-Sophia took her baby out in a brownish wrap, but Javi found him in a blue blanket.

Thursday

-Javi and Leo were talking about the baby as if he were staying at Rafe’s place for one night.

Friday

-Kristen was talking to Marlena and Brady while Marlena was shown.

-Kristen’s cup was up when she attempted to drink out of it.

Days Opinions For The Week Of June 30, 2025

Opinion Article

 

by Michele & Cheryl

As Days fans know, one of the main stories for the week was Johnny’s arrest. Jada had a cop show up at the town square to arrest Johnny. He was arrested in front of Sweet Bits. The idea of getting arrested in public is very embarrassing. Paulina was worried about looking biased in his case so she wanted to make sure everything was done by the book. The story might be what helps us see what the new writers could do after Ron Carlivati was let go from the show. It has the potential of being a great story. We’re trying to be optimistic about it. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a court case on the show. It’s a story that has the potential of being an umbrella storyline. We like that a lot of characters are involved in the storyline. It gives other people a chance to be involved in the story. The storyline involves EJ, Johnny, Belle, Chanel, Jada, Rafe, Gabi, Rachel, Paulina, Marlena, and Roman for now. EJ ripped into Belle because he thought she played a role in Johnny’s arrest. He demanded that she stay on the case. Belle tried to explain what happened, but he didn’t want to hear it. Chanel went off when she found out that Paulina was responsible for Johnny’s arrest. Rafe and Jada had an argument because she betrayed his trust by arresting Johnny. We are always here for drama so we enjoyed watching the arguing that happened after Johnny’s arrest. Marlena and Roman need a storyline again so their involvement was a breath of fresh air. She needed a storyline outside of John’s death and this storyline could be what the doctor ordered. We can’t wait to see what happens during the courtroom scenes. Hopefully something juicy will come out during Johnny’s trial.

Speaking of Johnny’s case, did anyone else think that Gabi was being more self-centered than usual? She didn’t want Johnny to have a trial because she didn’t want to feel EJ’s wrath. What type of woman is she? She should have been concerned with Johnny going to jail because he’s Arianna’s uncle, but she didn’t want to deal with EJ. Gabi always acts like she’s that b*tch so she didn’t have a reason to be afraid of what EJ would do to her if she testified against Johnny. It would be a shock to see her care about someone other than herself.

While we’re on the subject of Johnny’s arrest, he brought it on himself. He wanted anyone with ears to know that he didn’t care what happened to his father. People kept trying to get him to make up with his father, but he didn’t want to hear what they had to say. He had himself to blame for why he was at the police station. Johnny shouldn’t have brought a gun to the DiMera mansion, and he wouldn’t be blamed for shooting EJ. Johnny only had himself to blame for why he was accused of shooting EJ. He decided to act innocent once he was accused of the shooting. Johnny wished EJ would die so why should anyone feel sorry for him now that he’s the prime suspect in the case? We want to see what’s going to happen to him now that he’s in jail. He will wish he had forgiven EJ sooner and didn’t threaten him with the gun.

Why are the writers treating Julie like the villain when Doug was the one who stole from her family? Everyone seems to forget that Doug is a thief who had no problem grinning in Julie’s face after what he did. Steve was the latest one to jump on the “Doug is a saint band wagon.” We watched Steve and Julie’s scenes in disbelief. Julie shouldn’t have had to defend her anger towards Doug. He betrayed her while she was grieving the loss of her Doug. She has every right to be upset with Doug after the stunt he pulled. We really wish the writers would stop trying so hard to make Doug a good guy. He isn’t a good character just because everyone suddenly wants to defend him.

We were appalled when we saw Sophia deliver her own baby. She abandoned her baby because she wanted a life of her own. We understand that it’s her choice what she wants to do with her baby, but she abandoned her child because she needed a life of her own. It’s crazy that she thought that was the right decision to make. The writers wanted Sophia to look like the selfish one which was why Tate was thinking about their child’s future, but she didn’t. She wanted to put herself first. Tate didn’t want to be a father either so why does he get to be the one thinking about the baby. She had to be the one who didn’t want to think about the baby. Right the writers wanted Tate to have his happily ever after with Holly while making Sophia the villain. We do applaud Sophia for leaving her baby at the firehouse instead of in a box. Sophia didn’t score any brownie points when she allowed Melinda to talk her into deceiving everyone by wearing padding to pretend to be pregnant. Did the writers want to write a story that could happen in real life? We read about mothers who abandoned their kids, but we haven’t seen anything like that on daytime. They should get a round of applause for writing a story that’s different from the others. It might hit home for people who dealt with mothers abandoning their children, but it’s different from other stories.

Juda Lewis, Nina Bloomgarden and Director Rachel Israel of "The Floaters" movie

Interview with Director Rachel Israel and actors Judah Lewis and Nina Bloomgarden of the film “The Floaters” by Suzanne 6/18/25

Welcome To Camp

Freshly ousted from her rock band, Nomi takes a last-resort job from her best friend Mara at their childhood Jewish summer camp. As camp director Mara contends with a busted septic system, she tasks Nomi to supervise a group of outsider teens called the floaters.

When their rival camp—led by Mara and Nomi’s nemesis Daniel—issues a high-stakes challenge with prize money on the line, Nomi pushes the limits and loses Mara’s trust.

Now, Nomi and the Floaters must overcome their differences and outperform their rivals to keep the camp alive.

Framed through multigenerational perspectives, this offbeat comedy captures the rich diversity of a Jewish summer camp and explores the conflict between leaving one’s mark and building connection.

Directed by Rachel Israel, this spirited film celebrates authenticity and warmth, painting a vibrant portrait of modern Jewish life.

It’s about bonds forged in shared struggles, identity discovered in unlikely friendships, and strength found by embracing exactly who you are.

The Floaters showcases K180’s commitment to storytelling that resonates, steering clear of clichés to offer something memorable and deeply meaningful.

Days Opinions For The Week Of June 9, 2025

Opinion Article

 

by Michele & Cheryl

Roman from Days

Why didn’t Theresa come back for John’s funeral? Shane and Andrew came back for it so why wouldn’t she come back? John was Tate’s grandfather so she should have been there. She came back for Victor’s funeral, but she didn’t come back for John’s. We know she was scheming to marry Alex, but she still came back for Victor’s funeral. The writers didn’t even come up with a reason for why she wasn’t there. Speaking of missing people, why wasn’t Nicole at the funeral? You would think she would have been there for Eric. Will was also missing from the funeral. He took the time to show up when John was in the hospital, so he should have been at the funeral.

Roman must have a good heart to be willing to mourn John after everything that happened with Marlena. You would think that he would have been bitter towards John after the way he had an affair with Marlena. He also had to listen to his family talk about how great of a person John was when everyone thought John was Roman. John’s family talking about him mad sense, but Roman’s family breaking down should have made him cringe. It’s a testament to how good of a person Roman must be.

John’s funeral broke our hearts. It was so sad watching everyone talking about the kind of man John was. Knowing that Drake Hogestyn passed away in real life made the funeral scenes harder to watch. The actors did a tremendous job with the material. Their speeches made us laugh and cry. We do have some complaints about the funeral. There should have been more flashbacks while everyone was talking at the funeral. It would have really broken our hearts if they showed flashbacks. Also, there were people missing at the funeral who should have been there. The writers should have found a way to have Kimberly, Frankie, Max, Sami, Allie, Claire, Will, Theresa, etc. at the funeral. There’s no reason why they shouldn’t have been at the funeral.

Is there tension between Deidre Hall and Kristian Alfonso? We noticed when Hope hugged Marlena at John’s funeral, Marlena acted as if she didn’t want Hope to touch her. Marlena didn’t do that when Bo hugged her. Is it possible that the actresses don’t get along in real life? We did read rumors that they didn’t get along. After what we saw Marlena do to Hope the rumors might be true.

When did Jack and Jennifer get a tombstone for Abby? Abby’s body was missing which was why Cat was able to pretend to be her. When did they find Abby’s body to put her in the cemetery? Speaking of Abby, why would Marlena have John’s funeral on the anniversary of Abby’s death? You would think Marlena would have picked another day to have John’s service.

We enjoyed John’s repass at the pub. It was nice hearing all the stories about John since we didn’t see them when they first aired. The writers did a great job adding flashbacks for the stories. It was a reminder that they should have shown more flashbacks at the funeral. It also gave Marlena a chance to apologize to Roman about the memories of John making him uncomfortable. She’s grieving her husband, yet she took the time to make sure Roman wasn’t uncomfortable talking about John.

Interview with co-creator, co-showrunner and executive producer Aaron B. Koontz of “Revival” on Syfy by Suzanne 5/29/25

It was fun to talk to Aaron about this show. He seems to really enjoy working on it. I’m sure it must be great to be involved with creating something like this and seeing your project come to life.  He’s a very down-to-earth guy that grew up watching and reading about fantasy, scifi and horror, so he’s just a geek like me and most of my friends and family (which I hope he doesn’t mind my saying).  This series grabs you right away, getting you invested in the characters and their town. You don’t want to miss it if you love horror. I will say that, although it has some gross scenes, it’s not as bad as any of the “Walking Dead” shows.

The series stars Melanie Scrofano, Romy Weltman, David James Elliott, and Andy McQueen.

The series is created by Aaron B. Koontz and Luke Boyce, who serve as showrunners and executive producers. Lance Samuels, Daniel Iron, Samantha Levine, Neil Tabatznik, Daniel March, Melanie Scrofano, Greg Hemmings, Stephen Foster & Amanda Row also serve as executive producers.

Resident Alien

Premieres Friday, June 6 on USA & SYFY (11 p.m. ET/PT)

Based on the Dark Horse comics, “Resident Alien” follows a crash-landed alien named Harry and his life on planet Earth. The fourth season starts with Harry (Alan Tudyk) and his baby Bridget stuck in prison on the Grey Moonbase, while a shape-shifting Alien called a Mantid (also Alan Tudyk) has taken over his body on Earth passing himself off as the real Harry Vanderspeigle. Harry manages to escape the Greys and arrives back on Earth for a showdown with the Mantid Alien, but soon finds he may not have what he needs to finish the job. Asta (Sara Tomko) and D’arcy (Alice Wetterlund) struggle to keep a secret from Ben (Levi Fiehler) and Kate (Meredith Garretson), who are both desperate to find answers to what has been happening to them. Sheriff Mike (Corey Reynolds) and Deputy Liv (Elizabeth Bowen) attempt to solve some mysterious deaths in Patience that Sheriff Mike is beginning to think aren’t caused by anything human.

From UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group in association with Amblin TV and Dark Horse Entertainment, “Resident Alien” was adapted to television by executive producer Chris Sheridan. Mike Richardson and Keith Goldberg of Dark Horse Entertainment, Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank of Amblin TV, Robert Duncan McNeill and Nastaran Dibai also executive produce.

Alan Tudyk

Harry Vanderspeigle, “Resident Alien”; Devil, “Devil May Care”

Alan Tudyk stars in the SYFY drama “Resident Alien” as Harry Vanderspeigle, an alien who crash lands onto Earth and must pass himself off as a small-town human doctor.

He also recently voiced the role of Devil in “Devil May Care,” which also aired on SYFY. In addition, Tudyk voices the maniacal Joker in DC Universe’s “Harley Quinn” animated series on HBO Max. Tudyk also voiced Tuk-Tuk in the Oscar-nominated film “Raya and the Last Dragon” as well as Pico the Toucan in Disney’s hit film “Encanto.”

In 2016, Tudyk appeared in Lucasfilm’s “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” as the scene-stealing security droid, ‘K-2SO.’ Directed by Gareth Edwards, the film grossed over $1 billion at the global box office and was the first live action Star Wars spin-off. He also voiced characters in two Academy-Award nominated animated films, playing the ‘Duke of Weaselton’ in Disney’s “Zootopia” and the rooster ‘Hei Hei’ in Disney’s “Moana.”

Tudyk is also the creator, executive producer and star of the Emmy nominated series “Con Man,” which was funded via Indiegogo with a record-breaking $3.2 million donation from over 46,000 fans. “Con Man” debuted at Lionsgate’s Comic Con HQ in 2015 and later aired on SYFY. Loosely based on Tudyk and Nathan Fillion’s experiences starring in “Firefly,” “Con Man” centered on the post-show life of ‘Wray Nerely’ (Tudyk) after “Spectrum,” a sci-fi TV series canceled before its time that later became a cult classic. In 2016, Tudyk, along with Fillion, also launched “Con Man: The Game” based on the series which allowed players to build and host their own comic book conventions.

Tudyk has shown audiences wide versatility in numerous television shows and a plethora of feature films. Recently, he co-starred in the Jay Roach 2015 SAG Award nominated feature “Trumbo,” opposite Bryan Cranston, Diane Lane, Helen Mirren and John Goodman as well as 2014’s “Welcome to Me” with Kristin Wiig. In 2013, Tudyk co-starred in the well-received Jackie Robinson biopic, “42,” opposite Chadwick Boseman as former Philadelphia Phillies manager ‘Ben Chapman.’ He made his feature film debut in 1998, when he first appeared opposite Robin Williams in “Patch Adams.”

Tudyk’s role in the Disney animated feature, “Wreck-It Ralph,” garnered him an Annie Award for his role as ‘King Candy.” He can also be heard in its sequel, “Ralph Breaks the Internet” as ‘KnowsMore.” Tudyk has also loaned his voice to ‘The Duke of Weaselton’ in Disney’s Academy Award-winning film “Frozen,” ‘Alister Krei’ in “Big Hero 6” and ‘Ludo’ and ‘King Butterfly’ on the Disney Channel series, “Star vs. the Forces of Evil.”

His additional film credits also include: “28 Days,” “A Knight’s Tale,” “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story,” “Death at a Funeral” (the original UK version), “Knocked Up,” “Tucker and Dale vs Evil,” “3:10 to Yuma,” “Serenity,” “Premature,” “Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter” and “Transformers 3.” Additionally, Tudyk motion performed the lead robot, ‘Sonny,’ in “I, Robot” opposite Will Smith.

In television, Tudyk can currently be seen in DC Universe’s “Doom Patrol” and season three of Netflix’s “Santa Clarita Diet.” He was a series regular on the critically acclaimed ABC comedy, “Suburgatory” as well as on NBC’s workplace comedy “Powerless” and BBC America’s “Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. His work on Joss Whedon’s “Firefly,” has been highly lauded by fans and has gained him a strong cult following. Tudyk also appeared in “Strangers with Candy,” “Dollhouse,” “Frasier,” “Justified” and “Arrested Development.” He also was the host of “Newsreaders,” written and produced by Rob Corddry and David Wain, on Adult Swim.

Tudyk attended the prestigious Juilliard School in New York and has starred on Broadway opposite Kristin Chenoweth in “Epic Proportions,” played ‘Lancelot’ with the original cast in Monty Python’s “Spamalot,” as well as the lead role of ‘Peter’ in “Prelude to a Kiss” opposite John Mahoney.

Days Opinions For The Week Of May 26, 2025

Opinion Article

 

by Michele & Cheryl

Marlena from Days

It was something that Maggie was willing to stand up to Xander now that the truth about Sarah is out. Maggie never wanted to see the worst in Xander no matter what he did, yet now she wants to make him pay for what he does to Sarah. Guess in Maggie’s eyes, Xander could do anything to other people, but he’s persona non grata if he does anything to her daughter. It was too little too late for her to be done with him now. We couldn’t believe Maggie when she blamed Xander for everything as if Sarah was innocent. Hopefully he will go after Maggie when he gets his revenge on Sarah. We are sick of Maggie’s holier than thou attitude as if she didn’t lie to him.

Marlena’s performance this week broke our hearts. She showed the right emotion when it came to John. Marlena handled it with grace even though she was worried about John. Deidre Hall deserves an Emmy for her amazing performance. She made us want to grab tissue when she wanted John to stay with her and not leave her. Knowing that Drake Hogestyn is no longer here made Marlena asking for John not to leave her even more painful.

We applaud the writers for showing the flashbacks of John. It was nice going down memory lane with some of the flashbacks. The writers did a fabulous job paying tribute to the late actor. If they are doing this for him before the character died, we look forward to what they will do when John dies. The flashbacks will make it more emotional.

While we’re applauding the writers, we want to applaud the other actors in John’s story. They did a great job with the material. It was heartbreaking seeing them break down over what was going on with John. The actors showed real emotion over John which made an impact and made the scenes powerful. We were invested as each of them talked about the kind of man John was.

Thumbs up to the writers for having Abe ask Kate about Philip. It wasn’t that long ago when Abe and Kate worked together on Body & Soul so it was good to see him show concern for Philip. It showed that Abe and Kate still care about each other and haven’t forgotten that they are friends. The writers deserve another thumbs up for bringing Paul, Carrie, Will, and Eric back to see John. It was a reminder of how much he meant to them.

Interview with Hamza Haq and Joseph Kay of “Transplant” on NBC by Suzanne

I love this Canadian show, so I’m very glad to see it back on my TV screen! The writing and acting are just so good… The stories grab you and surprise you. The actors are very committed. I’m sad it’s ending, but please do enjoy these videos and the season 4 premiere this Thursday, May 22 on NBC and then on Peacock. There are two new episodes! More Details below. I apologize because when I interviewed Hamza Haq, I didn’t record it (I thought I did), so I used the backup provided by NBC. They only had speaker view for our Zoom call, not gallery view, like I usually use. That was my fault, not theirs.

Days Opinions For The Week Of May 12, 2025

Opinion Article

 

by Michele & Cheryl

EJ from Days

It’s something how everyone was acting guilty when EJ got shot, but now that he’s on the mend, everyone is acting innocent. Someone had to shoot EJ, yet everyone keeps denying doing it. Before we know it, EJ will end up being the one who shot himself. We know the writers will end up making the shooter a random person since everyone is suddenly denying shooting him.

We loved how Cat was reminded that she pretended to be Abby. She has been walking around town as if she never pretended to be Abby. The writers must think she’s a changed person just because she is obsessed with Felicity. Cat hasn’t been redeemed just because she is a good sister to Felicity and is in love with Chad. Chad may have gotten over what she did, but it doesn’t change the fact that she hurt people.

Xander, Philip and EJ have become obsessed with the hospital. Titan didn’t have the money to save the hospital when it was first in trouble yet now that the miracle drug is a factor, the company has the money to get the hospital. EJ has obsessed over the hospital as well. We know fighting over the hospital gives them a story, but they have been going overboard mentioning the hospital.

Why was Tate able to help Sophia plan her birthday party, but he wasn’t there for Rachel’s party? We get that Rachel is a little kid, but she’s still his sister. He could have made an appearance at the party. If he’s going to take the time to plan something for Sophia, he could have at least done something for his sister. She doesn’t have any friends so you would think her brother would have showed up at the party. We’re surprised he took the time to get her a gift.

Why does Marlena have a problem with EJ and Belle being together when she was the one who wanted Belle to be honest about her feelings for EJ? If she didn’t want them together, she should have never encouraged Belle to be honest about how she felt about him. Marlena must think she can have it both ways.

Freddy Macdonald and Calum Worthy of "Sew Torn"

Interview with director Freddy Macdonald and actor Calum Worthy of the film “Sew Torn” by Suzanne 4/30/25

Talking to these two was a lot of fun. Freddy is an amazing young guy directing the film he co-created and co-wrote with his dad. They made a short film first. It’s quite exciting to meet such a young talent who created this fantastic film, and I look forward to what else he’ll bring in the future. Don’t miss this movie, which premieres May 9th in theaters. Calum plays a small but important role in the film, so it was great to speak with him, too.

SYNOPSIS

Barbara Duggen, ‘The Mobile Seamstress’, is struggling to keep her fabric shop alive. After a botched sewing appointment sets her on a quest to replace her client’s lost button, she unexpectedly stumbles upon a drug deal gone bad. Faced with two downed motorcyclists, guns, and a briefcase – Barbara is completely torn. She is forced to pick between three choices: commit the perfect crime, call the police, or drive away.

The narrative presents the repercussions of all three decisions, and the deadly confrontations that result from each as she gets entangled with the case’s owner. Using thread to free herself, Barbara stops at nothing to save her store.

FREDDY MACDONALD ON MAKING THE FILM

A film about the choices we make is my story to tell. I’ve always been drawn to narratives that explore decision making, and Sew Torn is the culmination of this interest; a layered feature that depicts how actions define your path, ultimately shaping you – for better or worse.

Set in and around a quaint Swiss town, Sew Torn is a thriller / dark comedy that takes place over the same afternoon, three separate times. It’s a film about loneliness and home. About grief and redemption. About revenge and love.

With twists and turns driven by an undercurrent of humor, the plot is all but impossible to predict. And with a dexterous seamstress protagonist, liberation from a tangled past is finally achieved… …with thread.

Days Opinions For The Week Of April 28, 2025

Opinion Article

 

by Michele & Cheryl

Johnny from Days

This week’s Days of Our Lives left us scratching our heads about the characters in Salem. We realized that Maggie is a hypocrite, Sarah is selfish, and Johnny is a monster. In no particular order, we’ll get started with our opinions.

We loved how the writers are opening the door for Bo’s return. Bo is one of our favorite characters, so we are excited to have him back on the show. We applaud the writers for setting up his return and involving other characters in the story. Umbrella stories give the other characters opportunities to be shown so we are curious as to where the writers are headed with this story. Hopefully they won’t drop the ball on the story.

Johnny proved that he is a monster. In fact, he is just as big of a monster as he thinks his father is. Instead of talking to Chanel about not wanting to adopt Sophia and Tate’s baby, he chose to decide for her. He told them they weren’t going through with the adoption. Johnny didn’t care that he broke Chanel’s heart. His only concern was not turning out like EJ. Chanel was willing to be patient with him, but he wasn’t having it. He thought that she was supposed to understand his apprehension because he didn’t want to turn out like his father. In his attempt to not be like his father, he ended up being like him. Johnny could have swallowed his pride and went along with the adoption since it was his idea to adopt a baby. He was the one who talked Chanel into adopting a baby in the first place. If he loved Chanel, he would have been willing to make the sacrifice. His sacrifice would show that he wasn’t like EJ. We felt bad for Chanel when she broke down and cried after he told her he didn’t want to adopt the baby. She had her heart set on adopting the baby only to be told that Johnny wasn’t ready to be a father.

Maggie proved that she is a hypocrite. She ripped into Philip for lying about the inheritance so he could take control over Titan. Ordinarily that wouldn’t be a bad thing except she proved she was a hypocrite. When she talked to Julie, she expected Julie to get past Doug stealing from her because “good people make mistakes.” Maggie thinks Doug is a good person who made a mistake, but she wasn’t willing to give Philip that same kind of leeway. Philip was just wrong for what he did. We guess Maggie forgot Doug stole something from Julie and had no problem staying in her house and taking advantage of her hospitality. Why is Doug and good person and Philip isn’t? They are both wrong for what they did but she’s only willing to see Doug as a good person.

Sarah showed how selfish she is. She made the predictable decision of keeping her secret from Xander. Her reasoning was because no good would come from him finding out the truth. Sarah is the same person who was willing to break up with Xander because he lied to her. Now that she’s on the scheming end, she wants to lie to him. Sarah is no different from her mother when it comes to being a hypocrite. If Xander were the one lying to her about something, she wouldn’t care what his reasoning was for doing it. She would find the first divorce attorney in Salem to get away from him. It will serve her right when he finds out what she did and leaves her.

Speaking of Xander, he is being high and mighty about Philip’s betrayal. Philip was wrong for what he did, but Xander isn’t innocent by a long shot. He has done his fair share of bad things throughout the years so he really shouldn’t judge Philip for what he did. Xander of all people should know what desperate people do when they want something. He doesn’t have to forgive Philip right away, but he shouldn’t be so stubborn when it comes to Philip. It wasn’t that long ago when he wanted forgiveness so he shouldn’t be so hard on Philip.

Days Opinions For The Week Of April 14, 2025

Opinion Article

 

by Michele & Cheryl

Rafe from Days

There was some movement that happened on DOOL this week. Rafe had to deal with the fall out of his night with Sami and Xander got the shock of his life. Let’s get into what happened this week on DOOL.

Rafe and Sami ended up sleeping together. As Rafe and Sami fans, we would have loved to have seen them hook up with each other. Since Sami isn’t staying on the show, there’s no sense getting hopeful about them being together. With that said, Rafe sleeping with Sami came back to haunt him when he found out Jada didn’t sleep with Shawn again. He told Jada the truth, but she didn’t take it well. Rafe did the right thing telling her the truth, but he would have been better off keeping it to himself.

Speaking of Sami, we were surprised that she and Kate got along with each other. Longtime fans know Sami and Kate used to hate each other. It was nice to see them talking to each other civilly. Kate and Sami are cut from the same cloth, so it was good to see them on the same page for once. It’s too bad we won’t get to see them interacting with each other on a friendly basis, so we enjoyed what we got to see.

Vivian felt betrayed by Philip and Kate and ended up telling Xander the truth. We’re surprised Vivian told Xander the truth. We thought she would have dragged it out. The look on Xander’s face was priceless when he found out what Philip did. We thought it was going to take months for the truth to come out, yet it came out so easily. Leave it to Vivian to drop a bombshell on Xander and then leave town. It was a short visit, but Vivian did her thing.

Why was JJ so obsessed with Gabi being EJ’s shooter? You would think he wouldn’t want to accuse his girlfriend of being the shooter. Was he looking for ways to get out of being with Gabi? Accusing her of being the shooter was the great way to torpedo his relationship with her. JJ was already told that he shouldn’t have accused Gabi without proof, yet he did it anyway. It makes sense for him to think it was Gabi, but he should have treaded lightly before he flat out accused her.

Sarah proved that she’s a hypocrite. She opened up to Maggie about her secret. Sarah told Maggie that Philip schemed to get Titan. Predictably, Maggie sided with Sarah. It’s rich of Sarah to keep the secret from Xander. If Xander kept a secret from her, she would have been ready to dump him like a garbage bag. She even went the extra mile by questioning why she was keeping the secret from Xander. Sarah is the pillar of honesty when Xander messes up, but she was willing to keep him in the dark about what Philip did. Maggie isn’t any better. She advised Sarah not to say anything. Sarah and Maggie would have gone ballistic if Xander was the one keeping a secret like this.

Speaking of Sarah, she should be renamed Lucky because Philip chose not to sell her out to Xander. Philip could have told Xander that she knew about his plan to take Titan, but he chose not to say anything. Xander should have noticed how nervous Sarah was, but he didn’t. Sarah had no problem threatening Philip about telling Xander the truth, but when the chips were down, he chose not to say anything about her involvement. Would she have done the same thing if Xander found out about her role first? It’s a safe bet she would have sold him out in a heartbeat.

Interview with Titus Welliver

TV Interview!

 

Titus Welliver, star of "Bosch: Legacy" on Prime Video. Photo from his Instagram.

Interview with Titus Welliver of “Bosch: Legacy” on Prime Video by Suzanne 4/10/25

“Bosch” and “Bosch: Legacy” are wonderful shows that I’ve always loved. I read the books about Harry Bosch (by Michael Connelly) years ago and devoured them. They did an excellent job of transferring the stories from the books to the TV, and they couldn’t have done any better than Titus Welliver for playing Bosch. Everyone who’s connected to the show or watches it regularly is sad that the show is ending. It’s such a shame because there are more Bosch stories to tell.

This is a roundtable interview, which means there are 5 of us on the interview. We each had at least 2 questions for Titus, and he answered them in great detail. I’m very honored to have been included. He’s an amazing actor, and not just because of his work with “Bosch.”   The series finale for “Bosch: Legacy” airs today. It’s two episodes that not only finish the series but introduce Maggie Q, who will star as Rene Ballard in the new spinoff series “Ballard.”

Unfortunately, Bosch will only make a couple of cameos in the new series. Please enjoy this video roundtable interview and the series finale!

 

"Bosch: Legacy" season 3 key art - photo from Amazon press siteMORE INFO: Official Site Trailer

Season Three of Bosch: Legacy is based on Michael Connelly’s best-selling novels Desert Star (2022) and The Black Ice (1993). The murder investigation of Kurt Dockweiler brings dangerous secrets to light and threatens to ruin the lives of our three principal characters. The disappearance of a family haunts Harry Bosch and forces him to confront the limits of justice. In a hotly contested race, Honey “Money” Chandler is poised to become the next District Attorney of Los Angeles. And Maddie Bosch gets entangled in a series of violent follow-home robberies.

Harry Bosch

Titus Welliver is a veteran of film, television, and theater. The son of a famous landscape artist Neil Welliver and fashion illustrator Norma Cripps, Welliver originally pursued painting at art school but eventually fell in love with acting and the theater. Welliver’s theater credits include David Mamet’s production of American Buffalo, as well as performances in Naked at the Coast Theater and Shakespeare’s Henry IV. Welliver has also appeared in Riff Raff, written and directed by Laurence Fishburne, which was performed at Circle in the Square Downtown in New York City.

Welliver has also enjoyed a successful collaboration with legendary television producer David Milch, appearing in several of Milch’s shows, including the critically acclaimed HBO episodic, Deadwood. Some fans will always connect Welliver with his portrayal of The Man in Black in the cult favorite ABC series Lost. Welliver also notably played the part of Glenn Childs, Julianne Marguiles’ foil in The Good Wife, and the very dangerous Jimmy O’Phelan in Sons of Anarchy. Welliver’s other television credits are too numerous to list but include Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.SuitsThe Last Ship, The Mentalist and Chicago PD.

Welliver may now be most identified by his iconic performance as Harry Bosch, the lead character in the hit Amazon Original series Bosch. The show is based on Michael Connelly’s immensely successful book series, currently numbering 21, soon to be 22 novels, about a relentlessly dogged Los Angeles homicide detective.

In addition to Bosch, Welliver has been in every one of actor/director Ben Affleck’s big-screen, directorial outings, including Gone Baby GoneThe TownLive By Night and Argo. In addition, he has given extremely memorable performances in Michael Bay’s Transformers 4: Age of Existence and opposite Frances McDormand as her love interest in Gus Van Sant’s Promised Land. Welliver will next be seen in the reboot of the 1970’s action classic, Shaft, opposite Samuel L. Jackson.

Interview with Arielle Prepetit (Naomi) of “Beyond the Gates” on CBS by Suzanne 4/11/25

I had a fun chat with Arielle, who seems very sweet and full of joy. She plays Naomi on BTG, and she’s been great on the new series. It’s a soap, so there’s a lot of drama.  Naomi is Dani and Bill’s daughter, and Bill cheated on her mom with her best friend, Hayley, and then he divorced her mom and married Hayley. She disowned her dad for that.  Now Naomi is suing Bill’s law firm and his slimy partner for sexual harassment. She is a force to be reckoned with, and Arielle shows that strength and fire every day on the show.  Arielle is also an amazing singer and dancer. Watch her on YouTube.

Watch “Beyond the Gates” Monday through Friday on CBS every week and later on Paramount+. Check your local listings to see when it airs. It usually airs sometime after “Bold and Beautiful.”

BEYOND THE GATES is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington, D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States. Here you’ll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those who live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have “made it” and those who haven’t are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.

Interview with Felix Wolfe

TV Interview!

 

GROSSE POINTE GARDEN SOCIETY -- "Plant Parenthood" Episode 106 -- Pictured: Felix Wolfe as Ford -- (Photo by: Daniel Delgado/NBC)

Interview with Felix Wolfe of “Grosse Pointe Garden Society” on NBC by Suzanne 4/9/25

I really enjoyed speaking to Felix about his role as Ford on this fun show.  He’s young, but he’s been working since he was 2 years old!  Now, we’re only allowed to use the audio for this one, but I hope you can enjoy it, anyway.  Near the end of our chat, I noticed that he had a large mannequin with a Robin suit (as in Batman and Robin!), so I had to ask him about that, too. You can see the photo below in the “video.”  Don’t forget to watch the next episode of the series tonight! He has some juicy story in it.

 

Here’s the transcript, generated with Descript, but it hasn’t been fully proofread yet. I hope to do that soon.

 

Suzanne: How are you doing, Felix?

Felix: I’m wonderful. Suzanne, now that I’m with you, how are you?

Suzanne: Pretty good. Pretty good.

Felix: Good.

Suzanne: Suzanne: So, uh, I read on IMDB that you were born in San Diego. Did you grow up there too?

Felix: I, thanks for checking that out. That’s awesome. Uh, I did, I was born in San Diego. No, I, I really, all my fundamental years was, was la I moved to LA when I was like three.

Suzanne: Okay.

Felix: MFelix: y dad’s from la so, so it was like a. Cultural. It was an easy shift, but born and raised. SoCal? Yes, but not. ‘

Suzanne: okay. Well, I’m the opposite because I was born up in Northern California and grew up in San Diego, so that’s why I asked.

Oh, fantastic. Okay. Then you know how good the fish tacos are?

Suzanne: Oh yeah. Although actually they didn’t really have those back when I was growing up. Uh. It’s a more recent, like last 20, 30 years. I’m, I’m a lot older than I looked.

Felix: What you 23, 24?

Suzanne: Yeah. Right, exactly.

Felix: Yeah.

Suzanne: Yeah. Add about 40 years.

Felix: Good on you. You look fantastic.

Suzanne: Yeah. It’s funny. All the Mexican food, we didn’t have much Mexican food when I was growing up there. There weren’t like avocados everywhere, at least in my part of San Diego, but

Felix: Sure, sure. We, they shifted. They’re with us Up and up and up.

Suzanne: Yeah. So what’s it been like working on the show with Melissa Fumero and others?

Felix: I mean, it’s, it’s been fantastic. I mean, Melissa’s the a, a dream to work with. I don’t think it gets better than that. She’s just not only such a well-versed and extremely talented artist, that feels just so wonderful to get to, to play around with on screen. But, but, arguably in even more incredible human being and just such a wonderful, wonderful. I think personality to have on set. She makes everyone, you could just see it. She makes everyone feel so much better and smile and. She has this comforting warmth about her that I feel is so, nice, grateful to be around. So yeah, I feel very grateful. And obviously the rest of the cast is like, yeah.

Suzanne: But you worked with her more than, than anyone.

Felix: I did. Yeah. Yeah, I worked with her the most.

Suzanne: And you, uh, not to have any spoilers, but you have, in this upcoming episode, you have a very emotional scene with her. Was that, uh, challenging?

Felix: It was surprisingly easy, I think because we had spent so much time together and, and, and. Fo Foster. Such an honest, real, I think real life, uh, you know, kind of bond that I, I, I think it just, it translated so easily on screen it in so many ways. The words that I say in those scenes very much stem from a place of like imagining if I was really talking to just her and, um. You know? Yeah. How much I, I, I adore her. And so those sentiments, I think the emotions are stemming from a very real place and I think that makes it extremely easy just because she’s so wonderful.

Suzanne: Well, I’m sure her ears are burning. so your character’s been training to be a pitcher, and had you pitched or played baseball much before this?

Felix: Yeah, I grew up playing baseball. and it was something that when the writers found out, they were very excited about

Suzanne: Oh, good.

Felix: …Easily incorporated into the character. Yeah, I, I, I played baseball the way through high school and, uh, we were a pretty good team and I got to be captain and it was really fun. And Pitcher was one of the positions I, I primarily, primarily was shortstop and pitcher and, so pitching was, was something I grew up doing and, and

Suzanne: Oh, that’s nice.

Felix: It’s convenient. It worked out. It worked out.

Suzanne: Yeah. You didn’t have to work with somebody to look like you knew what you were doing or anything. You already did.

Felix: Yeah. Thank, thankfully, I was like, I don’t want to be on any of those, those edits. I please. So, no, that’s right. Tried my best. I don’t know how it turned out.

Suzanne: So you’re 23, but you’re playing a teen. Was that, uh, did that just come easily? ’cause you’ve been a teen or was, did you have to think about What was I like back then or,

Felix: Yeah. Uh, I mean, I. I mean, I’m, I’m 22 years old, but I feel very, I think I still feel very adolescent in so many ways. I think, I think I, I don’t feel understand people are disconnected from that. I wish I was like, oh, back then. But no, I think I’m in a lot of ways still very, very, rambunctious and, and very much, uh, but I think I’ve always just been a bit. Me, like, I don’t know. You know, I, I, even when I was little, I feel like the verse, whoever that kid was at, like eight years old, 17 years old now, 22, it’s kind of always been the same guy. Right? So same. Yeah.

Suzanne: So, but you’ve been in front of the camera since you were pretty young, right? Like five or six or something?

Felix: Uh, yeah. I, I booked my first part technically when I was two, and then I became. When I was six. and yeah, so I’ve been doing it a long, long time, that’s for sure. It’s been ingrained in my life.

Suzanne: That’s amazing.

Felix: Thank you.

Suzanne: I’m always surprised when I hear about some actor, actress that I’ve seen in the movies, and I go and I look at their, their history and go, oh my gosh, she’s been a child actor. Just like, I don’t know. It just always, it is like, why don’t I know that? It’s like I should all know that.

Felix: No, it’s, it’s, it’s totally understandable.

Suzanne: I’m always surprised if somebody does know that. I’m like, oh, wow.

Felix: Thanks.

Suzanne: So, anything, uh, that you can tell us about the, uh, upcoming episodes at all that you’re allowed to tell us?

Felix: Well, I’m very excited about it. I’ve heard great things, from, from people behind the curtain. They seem very excited about it. I remember when we shot it, it was, yeah, I think you kind of touched on it. It reaches some, some emotional places that I think are incredibly powerful. And I meant, I, when I first read it, and then obviously when we shot it, it meant so much for me as an actor to see that the, the creators and the writers were willing to let the character. go there. And I think let those, those relationships reach those kinds of places, for better or worse. So I, I, I’m extremely excited for fans to kind of see, the emotional depth that these characters will reach, especially forward. And I think it’s a big turning point. I think episode eight’s a, a big turning point for him, and, and I remember really enjoying,

Suzanne: And are you gonna, are you gonna have some emotional scenes with your, the foster parents as well?

Felix: Maybe who knows? Maybe can’t tell.

Suzanne: Okay. And, uh, do you have any other projects coming out or that you, or that you’re working on or anything you tell us about?

Felix: Nothing I can say right now. We, well, hopefully soon I can, but, but yeah, I’m, I’m, I will say this, I’m very excited for the future. I feel very honored. And this show is. It’s been wonderful to work on and, and, and, has introduced me to so many incredible new faces and new people. So I’m, I feel extremely fulfilled, uh, as an, as an artist and as a, as a human being. So, yeah, I’m, I’m excited to see what the rest of 2025,

Suzanne: yeah, I’m looking forward to it. I, I am just keeping my fingers crossed for season two. I don’t know if that’s a possibility or not, but. That’s your business. I know, but I’d like to think possibility.

Felix: If you believe in it. I believe in it.

Suzanne: Okay. Okay. Okay. Uh, I just wanna see some kind of closure for the characters if, if it doesn’t have a season two, and I don’t think I want to get that.

Felix: So maybe, I mean, I feel satisfied with, with the, the ending of season one, but that does not mean that I’m not exci incredibly eager for season two.

Suzanne: Right. Right, right. Well, it’s been a good dramatic show for you. You’ve done a lot of sitcoms and things. I know you’ve done some drama, but would you say this was more drama than you normally deal with in new shows?

Felix: Yeah, I would say that it’s, it’s the, the prolonged, I think the overarching storyline, you know, for, for a character. Uh, my characters had a substantial amount of time to really grow within a dramatic space. So I feel very, um. Grateful for that. Yeah. ’cause usually the more dramatic stuff has been more, you know, episodic or, or, you know, momentary kind of wrapped up in an hour or 30 minutes or less kind of a thing.

Suzanne: Right.

Felix: So this opportunity has, has allowed, you know, for me, for months to perform and then obviously over an entire season I character to really grow and reach a lot of different places within, within himself. And that’s been really fun to, to kind of get, to dig deeper within that. So yeah, it’s been, it’s been great.

Suzanne: Okay. Well, thank you for talking to me. I appreciate it.

Felix: Thank you, Susanna. I really appreciate it.

Suzanne: Which Superhero, is that behind you? Is that Robin?

Felix: That, that’s Robin, yeah. It gray. Okay. Yeah, I wanna be, uh, I’m, I’m aiming for, I know James Gunn’s cooking something up at d dc in the DCU, so I want be Dick Rayon, so we’ll see.

Suzanne: That would be great. I would love to see that.

Felix: I built, I built that. That’s mine.

Suzanne: Oh, wow. What is, I mean. Suit.

Felix: It’s a suit that you built.

Suzanne: Okay. Yeah.

Felix: Yeah. It’s like an armored suit. It’s like all the pieces are separate and everything. Wow. So, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I, I designed that and then I hired some people to be like, can we put this together? And then we’re that

Suzanne: neat. I like that. Do you go to Comic-Con.

Felix: I’ve been once once. Isn’t that crazy? Yeah. And I dress with Spider-Man ’cause he is my favorite.

Suzanne: Oh, okay.

Felix: Yeah, I haven’t busted this one out yet.

Suzanne: I have three older brothers and they were on the first San Diego Comic-Con, uh, committee, so I used to go a lot when I was a kid. I haven’t been in a long time though, because I don’t live there any more.. That’s Well, hopefully. Hopefully I’ll, hopefully I’ll be there. Honestly, I’d love to go for like.

Interview with Melissa Roxburgh of “The Hunting Party” on NBC by Suzanne 4/3/25

I loved speaking to Melissa, even though it was only for about 6 minutes. We had a nice chat, and she answered all of my questions in a very thoughtful way. All of the cast and crew I’ve interviewed this season have been fun to interview.  I really hope this show gets a second season because I so enjoy its many twists and turns. The finale is quite shocking, with tons of cliffhangers. I hope we get to see them resolved!
