Administrator Toups Posted May 11, 2012 Author Administrator Share Posted May 11, 2012 “BEAUTY AND THE BEAST” Detective Catherine Chandler is a smart, no-nonsense homicide detective. Several years earlier, Catherine witnessed the murder of her mother at the hands of two gunmen. Catherine would have been killed too, but someone – or something – saved her. No one has ever believed her, but she knows it wasn’t an animal that attacked the assassins…it was human. Years have passed, and Catherine is a strong, confident, capable police officer, working alongside her equally talented partner, Tess. While investigating a murder, Catherine discovers a clue that leads her to a handsome doctor named Vincent Keller, who was reportedly killed by enemy fire while serving in Afghanistan in 2002. Catherine learns that Vincent is actually still alive and that it was he who saved her many years before. For mysterious reasons that have forced him to live outside of traditional society, Vincent has been in hiding for the past 10 years to guard his secret – when he is enraged, he becomes a terrifying beast, unable to control his super-strength and heightened senses. Catherine agrees to protect his identity in return for any insight he may have into her mother’s murder. Thus begins a complex relationship between Catherine and Vincent, who are powerfully drawn to each other yet understand that their connection is extremely dangerous for both of them. The series stars Kristin Kreuk (“Smallville,” “Chuck”) as Catherine, Jay Ryan (“Terra Nova”) as Vincent, Max Brown (“The Tudors,” “MI-5”) as Evan, Nina Lisandrello (“Nurse Jackie”) as Tess, Nicole Gale Anderson (“Make It or Break It”) as Heather, Austin Basis (“Life Unexpected”) as J.T., and Brian White (“The Shield,” “The Cabin in the Woods”) as Joe. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is from CBS Television Studios with executive producers Jennifer Levin (“Without A Trace,” “Felicity”), Sherri Cooper (“Brothers and Sisters”), Bill Haber (“Rizzoli & Isles,” “Thurgood”), Paul J. Witt (“A Better Life”) & Tony Thomas (“A Better Life”), Ron Koslow (“Moonlight”) and Gary Fleder (“Life Unexpected”). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PAsoapfan Posted October 12, 2012 Members Share Posted October 12, 2012 Pleasantly surprised how good the pilot was. A good update on a classic TV show. Hopefully the ratings are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gladiator in flip flops Posted October 23, 2012 Members Share Posted October 23, 2012 I saw the pilot. It was okay. I wish it was more romantic like the original. I may watch a few episodes down the line. ~Milo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Becki Posted December 31, 2012 Members Share Posted December 31, 2012 this is probably my favorite new show this season. I had no intention of watching it because I didn't think they stood a chance of living up to the original series. But it is amazing!! Jay Ryan and Kristin Kreuk have fabulous chemistry and they're bringing a whole new perspective to the characters of Catherine and Vincent.

Members DRW50 Posted December 31, 2012 Members Share Posted December 31, 2012 What do you think of Kreuk? My parents enjoy this show; I haven't watched it too often. The ratings seem to be OK-ish by CW standards, but if you enjoy it you may want to let the network know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Becki Posted December 31, 2012 Members Share Posted December 31, 2012 I think she's good. She's no Audrey Hepburn, but she's a decent actress IMO. I know she was on Smallville, but I never watched that other than catching a scene or two here and there. Anyway, I've seen far, far worse acting in daytime than she or Jay Ryan give on this show. I don't know that the PCA's mean much, but I have been voting for the show for Best New Drama. I'm subscribed to their YouTube channel and stuff like that. I do visit the CW's site at least once every day...not sure they log stuff like that however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
