From Bridget Liszewski of The TV Junkies:
Link: Wynonna Earp: Zoie Palmer discusses the most challenging moments for Jolene
“It’s terrifying though to get up on stage in front of the whole bar, cast and crew. It was scary, but they are very supportive. I did my best and I think it was OK.” Continue reading.
From Kelly Townsend of The TV Junkies:
Link: Killjoys: Adam Barken talks “Greening Pains”
“I think Luke has been a standout–amongst standouts–this whole season so far, because he’s had to play the quieter, internalized anxiety, anger and fortitude of a leader whose partners are either missing in action–Dutch–or batshit crazy–Hullen Johnny (Aaron Ashmore).” Continue reading.
From Bridget Liszewski of The TV Junkies:
Link: Wynonna Earp: Emily Andras talks “Jolene”
“If I’m bringing The Palmer on set I don’t want to just sprinkle some Palmer in one corner of the screen like Calamity Jane. I want The Full Palmer! I know Zoie’s range, and have for years, so I wanted to entice her as well by giving her a role that only she could do.” Continue reading.
In a universe filled with unique characters, Killjoys’ most recent may very well be the most. The spawn of Delle Seyah and D’avin Jaqobis, viewers first meet him moments after he’s born. But by the end of Friday’s newest episode, “Greening Pains,” he’s grown into a young man.
That young man is played by Jaeden Noel. He’s appeared on such shows as The Expanse, Rogue, Murdoch Mysteries and Odd Squad; now Jaeden Noel checks in as the newest member of the cast. We sat down with him during a break in filming part of “Greening Pains” earlier this year.
What can you say about your character?
Jaeden Noel: He is new to the world. And he grows really, really fast. He’s actually only currently two years old, but he looks like me and I’m 15. It’s an interesting storyline. He’s very new, so he walks through the world trying to learn everything, and he’s like a sponge, he absorbs everything. He’s very attentive and he listens a lot. But he’s also very curious. He follows Dutch around and almost praises her because she’s like the coolest character ever, right?
What’s the relationship between he and D’avin like at this point?
JN: I think it’s very awkward for him. He can’t talk to me like I’m a teenager, but he also can’t talk to me like I’m a baby. But I feel like he does still have that fatherly instinct to protect his son. So that will definitely be there.
Had you seen Killjoys before you got the role? Did you go back and watch episodes?
JN: I got cast for it. I had heard of it, obviously, but I got cast for it and I was like, ‘I should probably brush up on some of this so I know what I’m doing.’ So I watched some of Season 3, I had seen some of Hannah and Luke, they’re great actors, it’s been great working with them. Stefan [Pleszczynski], the director, everyone here is super nice. I find them always making sure I’m OK, asking how my day went, how was my weekend?
As an actor, having the costume and being in this scene, it becomes a little bit easier because you’re able to put yourself into that mindset when you’re surrounded by everything like this, right?
JN: Plus I find this kind of genre of television very interesting. So it’s easy for me to like almost get in and become the character.
How do you juggle school? Because you need to get some schooling in there while you’re working too.Â
JN: We have school here. We have an on-set tutor. But also I’m not really bad at school, besides maybe math, but I mean a lot of people aren’t the greatest at math. But I also go to an arts school. And they’re very lenient with things like this. It’s almost like one of the reasons why I go there. It’s like, ‘Oh, I’m filming.’ The teachers are like, ‘OK, just I’ll give you your homework, just have fun, do whatever.’ Whereas other schools, I think it would be more of like a … I’d have to sit down and explain it to the principal.
What have you learned from working with Hannah, Luke and the rest of the cast?
JN: They are incredible actors. I’m sitting there picking their brains, trying to learn everything, what they’ve done, looked at old stuff and watching them while they act, watching their scenes. Because the only thing I can do from them is learn. So I might as well, if I’m going to be on the set with them and be working with these people, I should be learning from them.
Killjoys airs Fridays at 10 p.m. ET on Space.
From a media release:
Lights, camera, fashion! In Corus Studios’ fierce new fashion competition series STITCHED (12×60), the deadlines are tight, the expectations are high and the judges are hard to please. Premiering Sunday, September 9 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Slice™, STITCHED showcases jaw-dropping couture creations and big fashion personalities. Hosted by Canadian fashion model and actress Kim Cloutier and an esteemed panel of resident judges including style expert Joe Zee and ELLE Canada’s Editor-in-Chief, Vanessa Craft, each high-style meets high-stakes episode sees four skilled North American designers face off in three dramatic themed challenges. Nothing less than perfection will suffice as the designers compete to prove that they are ready to take the fashion world by storm, and win a $10,000 cash prize.
Following an extensive North America-wide search, 48 highly skilled designers are set to compete in the STITCHED workroom over the course of the season. The designers hail from coast to coast and beyond including St. John’s, N.L., Montreal, Que., Toronto, Ont., Saskatoon, Sask., Calgary, Alta., Los Angeles, Calif., Bronx, N.Y., and more. The competitors vary in age, experience level and design aesthetic but the one thing they all have in common is a passion for fashion. Throughout the season, the designers’ breathtaking pieces will walk the runway on an array of professional and amateur models, including mother-daughter duos, drag queens, real-life brides and young-at-heart seniors. Learn more about the design hopefuls here.
In each of the 12 episodes, three design challenges take place that increase in difficulty, sending one competitor packing each round. The premiere episode, titled Fashion Fur Real, will kick off with “The Signature†where four designers show off their unique style using only fun faux fur. Up next in “The Surprise†challenge, the remaining competitors must avoid tired designs and create fabulous garments using only bedroom materials. Then, in the heated “Standout†round, the final two must create a runway-worthy design that displays their interpretation of a modern superheroine, and prove that they have what it takes to win. Throughout the season, designers will be challenged with everything from reimagining the Canadian tuxedo and creating a garment without a needle or thread, to making an ambitious outfit using only camping materials and designing a couture look out of sporting goods. Some designers may crack under pressure, while others will create dynamic designs.
Joining in on the critique with judging panel Joe Zee and Vanessa Craft, are rotating guest judges including fashion industry elites Hayley Elsaesser, Greta Constantine’s Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong, Mackage’s Eran Elfassy and Elisa Dahan and fashion influencer Ania B.
