Conference Call: HAVEN’s Lucas Bryant Talks About Season 4 and More!
Conference Call with HAVEN’s Lucas Bryant. I absolutely adore Bryant’s wry humor and sarcasm during this conference call. The way he talks about Eric Balfour’s “great, strong arms” embracing him in a hug in the season premiere episode “Fallout” had me riveted. (Insert giggle). And of course, Bryant would like to take all the credit for the show’s success…he was totally kidding. And I had to ask about the perpetual “gas leaks” that seem to plague Haven, Maine. Bryant says that will be addressed this season.

What’s Done is Done. Review: Suits – “Endgame”
Unlike other seasons, Suits has tied this entire season to one single case. This might work if you have a client the audience likes but that isn’t the reaction with Ava Hessington (Michelle Fairley). By “Endgame,” the case has more than overstayed its welcome and I found myself not caring what happened. I simply wanted her gone and for the show to move on. Although, it is refreshing to see Suits finally remembered lawyers don’t just work at a law firm, they actually do go to court.
