    Recognizing John Brotherton (Jared, OLTL) on tonight's "Timeless." He's playing Gene Kranz of NASA, the same person Ed Harris played in Apollo 13.

    He's also a series regular on Netflix's "Fuller House" playing DJ's co-worker and boyfriend Matt Harmon!

    I have two theories regarding Josh Kelly's sudden weight gain:

     

    1) He thought it would fit his character and whatever emotional journey he's on for season two.  (I don't watch "UnReal," but judging from what I have read (including the New Yorker article) it does seem as if his character is in a very dark place at the present, given the implosion of his relationship with Shirl Appleby's character, as well as the round-the-clock drama from working on a reality show.)

     

    2) There are very real issues between Kelly and Sarah Gertrude Shapiro, who CLEARLY doesn't want him on her show; and Kelly's way of coping with that stress was to eat...and eat...and eat.

     

    And of course, there's also --

     

    3) Smoking marijuana makes one very, very hungry.

     

    Either way, I think Kelly called it on that violent scene which the New Yorker writer relates toward the end of the piece.  I mean, if THAT isn't a way to get audiences and the higher-ups to turn against a character....

     

    I think it's number two. They've made the character a real ass this season. It makes sense to hear that TPTB behind the scenes are purposely trying to get the audience to hate him. When the show began, he was promoted as the "hunk," used in the promos showing him completely nude, save for a large sign over his crotch. This season, "Chet" is actually looking hotter than him! Yikes... 

     

    P.S. I think there needs to be an "UnReal" discussion thread in Primetime.... :) 

    There is an "UnREAL'' discussion thread on the Primetime board, but nobody has posted anything there since last year during the show's first season!: http://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/53193-unreal/

    Kim Matula (ex-Hope, B&B) has been cast in the upcoming second season of "UnREAL" on Lifetime (which will premiere this summer)! She'll be playing Tiffany, one of the contestants of the fictional reality show "Everlasting"!: http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/unreal-season-2-cast-meagan-tandy-kim-matula-everylasting-contestants-1201710674/

    Is that the only work she can find? Talk about going from bad to worse. At least on B&B Bradley wrote for her every every every every every day of the week. But the writing for her character was awful and thats why she left.

    What's wrong with "UnREAL"?

    Jamie is Anna wood right? If so I think she works better with the Adam Rodriguez character and i think he makes her more tolerable. I like Jamie vs Roy in the courtroom but have no interest in seeing it being pursued.

    Its funny because I really think its the actress as I think the whole character works really well on paper.

    I like her relationship with her assistant (one of the Wayans sisters im assuming), i like her with the cop who is clearly undercoveer and out to expose Shawn Hatosy's character, I like pretty much everything about the character just not the actress who portrays her. Weird, right?

    Is there a Reckless thread somewhere here? I would try to locate it but i live in canada so i dont even know on which american network it is on.

    IMO, I like the Roy/Jamie relationship, whether they're both fighting against each other in court or on a personal level outside of the courtroom! I like Jamie's assistant on the show too, along with Preston and Terry. I think that CG brings out the best in AW's acting (though I agree with you about her being green as an actor!) in their scenes together, and they have great chemistry with each other! Ditto for AW & AR!

    I went with the show i was actually watching lol

    Too bad about Reckless because the show keeps on surprising me. I could do without Anna Wood but the rest of the cast gels really well together. And shawn Hatosy makes for a really good bad vilain.

    I wonder if it would have worked better had they launched the show in the fall rather than as a summer replacement show.

    "Reckless" was supposed to premiere during midseason, but got moved to the summer season! I know that you don't like Anna Wood on the show cuzlsaySo, but what do you think about the relationship and potential pairing between her character Jamie and Cam Gigadent's character Roy?

    Reckless had susan walters (ex-Lorna, Loving) this week as Gregory harisson's mistress and I think Linda Purl who plays his wife was also on Port charles. Kelly Rutherford (Generations, MP) was also in the episode you mentionned with erin chambers.

    Does Cam Gigandet qualify as a soap star cuz he was PHYLIS' SON FOR ABOUT 5 seconds i think.

    Reckless has one hell of a gorgeous cast btw. I seriously want Falk Hentsen to end up on GH as whatever as long as he is on it lol

    I love "Reckless" too! Too bad the show has low ratings and might not be renewed for a second season! And FYI, Susan Walters was also the second actress to play Diane Jenkins on Y&R!
