HELIX Scoop: Mark Ghanimé and Catherine Lemieux Talk About Their Characters Sergio Balleseros and Doreen Boyle
Syfy’s virus-thriller series HELIX is pulling out all the stops as two of its primary characters look to be infected already. Safe so far are Major Sergio Balleseros (Mark Ghanimé) and Doreen Boyle (Catherine Lemieux). But as already seen, no one is safe. The attempts to quarantine and keep segregated the infected until a cure can be found has not worked. Thus, it is up to Balleseros and Boyle to find the source of the virus as quickly as possible, if anyone is going to be saved. But with arctic monkeys and squirrely executives making both their jobs more difficult, it remains to be seen how successful they are. In a recent press conference call, stars Mark Ghanimé and Catherine Lemieux provided their candid perspective on the creepy virus and where the show is headed. [Read more…]
DOWNTON ABBEY! TRUE DETECTIVE! AMERICAN HORROR STORY! GENERAL HOSPITAL! The TV Addict Week in Rewind
Oddest Journey: This week, THE BACHELOR went to Korea. Next week, it’s heading to Vietnam. What… were all the Caribbean islands booked?
Worst Co-Workers Ever: We have a tip for the waiters and waitresses at Sur, the restaurant VANDERPUMP RULES is ostensibly set at: If your loved one swears up and down they didn’t sleep with someone, just assume they’re lying. Oh, and get regular STD tests.
Bestest Co-Worker Ever: Mrs. Hughes proved yet again to be the most sensible person residing at DOWNTON ABBEY by helping to push Anna and Bates onto the road toward reconciliation!
Creepiest Ending: If that final shot of the “monster” at the end of this week’s TRUE DETECTIVE didn’t give you shivers, nothing will.
Best Sandwich-Related Backstory: GENERAL HOSPITAL’s BLT-obsessed Heather explained that her food of choice reminds her of the dad who abandoned her years earlier. We’d be all teary eyed were it not for the fact that she told this tale while holding Carly hostage in order to frame Franco for murder!
Lamest Ending: There are a lot of words we’d use to describe AMERICAN HORROR STORY’s finale, but — like most of the season — “magical” definitely isn’t among them. [Read more…]
