I assumed they saw the reaction to the Jason/Anna kiss and backed off. It happened, what, sixth months ago?

That’s my understanding as well, but it’s ultimately on TPTB for letting the actor’s desire for a flexible workload supersede the needs of the story.

I actually like JPS as Valentin but find it bizarre that the show has found itself in a situation in which he’s been the only viable romantic option for Anna for years. JPS and Finola have more chemistry than almost any of the other current pairings on the show IMO but it shouldn’t be hard to find other options for her if they can’t or won’t commit to making Valentin a consistent presence.

Official announcement of the movie Nicholas Alexander Chavez has been shooting in New York. Cool cast.

Yes, Charlotte’s father (Valentin) is Danny’s grandmother’s (Alexis) first cousin.

Drew’s blackmail scheme doesn’t make a ton of sense because exposing Portia would require him to come out in favor of Heather’s release…which happened already anyway. Politically it seems like it would behoove him to stay away from the whole situation.

At the Vanity Fair Oscar party. I can’t believe he’s pulling off this look.

I was cheering for Ric when he yelled at Kristina. Alexis should’ve intervened and backed him up. The Molly/Cody stuff is working for me, mostly because both actors are funny and resourceful and don’t sleepwalk through scenes.

Joss can be annoying as a character (by design—she is mini Carly, after all), but I’ve always thought Eden gave a strong performance.

NAC was a presenter at last night’s WGA awards in New York. (Not crazy about the ‘stache, but I assume it’s for a role, as he’s been shooting in NYC over the last few weeks.)

Weird that he would leave 13 weeks into his first contract cycle. I wonder what happened.

FWIW, NAC told an interviewer at one of the Fashion Week events that he’s shooting a movie in New York. (He couldn’t say what movie, though; it’s embargoed.)

Longtime lurker here but I thought I’d weigh in on this topic—episode 5 of Monsters seemed like *such* a calculated awards play that it made it me wonder if they wrote the part in Grotesquerie for NAC as a make good. Regardless, the Golden Globes are a for-profit operation designed to get as many big names as possible to their televised party. They were never going to nominate two relative unknowns from the same series when they can get Ewan McGregor to show up for a Showtime show that bombed in March.
