another casualty.

Harmony. Twenty-Five. You probably recognize me as Mary in The Pearce Theater’s production of The Secret Garden or as a bus rider in that infamous J.G. Wentworth commercial (the 877 cash now jingle). But if you don’t recognize me – don’t worry: you will.

I’ll be sure to thank you when I win an Emmy for writing the best episode in a drama. How are you finding being back at work? Have they slotted you into may scenes?

Aw, you don’t have to do that -- but when you do, give me a signal or something so I can make sure when the camera pans to me, they’re getting my good side. It’s great! Any time off is time wasted, so I’m always excited to get back to work. Mostly in the classroom or walking by during locker scenes. How about you? Enjoying it so far?

[soundguyfinn]

Watch out, LA. Looks like Carole Hudson is on her way.

I’m so excited to finally show my mom around here.

[gingrandjazz]

That’s exciting! I take it this is her first time visiting Los Angeles?

[tempusvitaehq-deactivated202107]

Don’t get me wrong I absolutely adore being back to work and everything but at the same time I hate costume fittings. I don’t know what it is about them but I really don’t like them. The costume department does an amazing job and their work is divine but I just can’t stand the fittings, it was the same when I was back in Broadway. I guess we all have that one thing we’re just not fond of.

[gingrandjazz]

Maybe because it’s so tedious? Standing there for hours, trying on different clothes was never really exciting.

[actinganderson]

Perhaps I’m naive to do so, but I like to believe in people. And most of the time I like to believe there’s no way anyone could possibly mistake me for an undeniably fictional hundred year old vampire - but then times like this happen and I’m no longer so certain in my conviction.

I was at a wine tasting yesterday hosted by mother’s vineyard and mentioned to someone there that we’ll be having our first table read for the second season of “Bitten” today. About a half hour later, I was playing the piano when the woman’s rather drunk teenage daughter came charging, wine glass in hand, yelling - “YOU LEAVE BRIDGET AND NATE ALONE!” Next thing I knew, I was covered in red wine with two stinging contacts.

So, if anyone’s wondering what that funky smell at the table is, it’s 2002 ridge monte bello. And I’ll stick to glasses today.

[gingrandjazz]

Well, then. There are two types of horrible people in this world. The ones who confuse the actors with their characters and the kind who waste wine. That woman sounds completely unhinged. Are you okay? Was she, at least, escorted out the wine tasting?

Fine, but no judging me when i can’t hit the notes the same way you can! I do love a good karaoke night. Although I may need a little liquid courage first.

I’m sure you can hit any note you wanted to. While I don’t drink often, I do love a good reason to and karaoke night sounds like the perfect time to throw back a few martinis. We could even duet! 

[gingrandjazz]

Sure, but how do you really feel about those Hallmark movies? Really, though, I’ve only ever heard of people hate-watching them, so I don’t understand how they have the budget and ratings to keep making more.

It’s just the same plot-line over and over again. Beef McLargeHuge and Overworked Sue fall in love thanks to Santa Claus and small-town living. But that is a fantastic question. Do you think that deep down, way way way, deep down, everyone is really into Hallmark movies?

[gingrandjazz]

perfectlymarleyrose​:

I think people sometimes can get so wrapped up in the actors and characters they’re willing to accept horrible episodes. People get so invested, you know? Right. I feel like original songs might make more sense with Bitten, too.

When it first came out I was totally Team Edward. But like a couple months ago I read the books and watched the movies again to experience it as an adult and I realized they both were kind of not good for her. Edward was a manipulative jerk and Jacob was just a try hard and even though he didn’t like Edward he should’ve respected Bella’s wishes. So I say Bella and Alice should’ve gotten together.

I completely agree. Once those rose-colored glasses are on, it’s hard for some people to take them off. I’ve been guilty of it myself. 

Hard same. Teenage me was totally on board for Edward initially as well. But also, I kept thinking about how they could have cast me as Bella instead and somehow influence the writers to let me have a romance with the Seth character. I’ve never thought of Alice though, why her?

[gingrandjazz]

officiallysnixx​:

No. I definitely think we should leave the acting to you and the writing to me. Thank you though.

Okay, I’ll accept that but just remember: if you do end up writing a musical episode and it becomes a hit, don’t forget about the girl who planted the seed. Well, technically planted the seed. 

[gingrandjazz]

smytheofficial​:

Well I’m just that kind of a person, I guess.

Oh, I know. Believe me, I know. You’re an incredible person. 

[gingrandjazz]

designerhummel​:

Exactly! I buy her only the most expensive toys, the best food, and I hand sew her clothes, but she still plays with a random piece of yarn or eats mice. She’s a diva, but my diva. It’s a lot, but I’ll get a case for it so she stays out of it. 

I am now incredibly curious about these cat clothes you sew. I think I might need a catshion show. How many cats do you have?

[natemcallistxr]

Last night, while working on my nightly skincare regime, my cat decided to chew on my Apple Pencil. She managed to chew a good chunk, and swallowed a piece of it. Luckily, the vet says she will be fine. What I don’t get is how out of the hundreds of toys I have gotten her, she decides to play with an Apple Pencil. She’s lucky she’s cute.

[gingrandjazz]

Cats are so finicky. You can give them the world and they’ll still chase after that cardboard box. It isn’t going to be too much to replace, is it?

[gingrandjazz]

smytheofficial‌:

I know, right? Maybe we could post a picture together sometime.

A picture with you? That’d be way too kind of you.

But I have my selfie stick prepared whenever you’re ready.

[gingrandjazz]

starringquinn‌:

You never know– maybe even they’d let you squeeze in a solo. I would like to think so; at least, to an extent. I certainly wouldn’t fall in line with the stunners some of you are, but I have unique voice.

Well, you know I have to hear you sing now, right? One of these days, I’m so dragging you to a karaoke night with me.

[gingrandjazz]

While I agree that musical episodes can bring in the ratings; however, I don’t see it fitting in with vampires. Once you do a musical episode, you can’t go back. We don’t need another Riverdale on our hands.

Okay, so now I have to endure the entire episode to see what it’s all about because it seems like Riverdale has ruined all future chances of musical episodes, and now, I will forever have beef with that show. 

[gingrandjazz]

officiallysnixx‌:

Musicals aren’t my favorite genre but it’s not really about that. It’s more about trying to write a reason to explain why a bunch of moody vampires are suddenly breaking out into song.

Maybe ... they drank some musical ... blood?

[gingrandjazz]

perfectlymarleyrose‌:

I actually liked the show until they decided to do musical episodes and they won’t stop for some reason. I do love Sabrina though. But I’ve been a sucker for fantasy/supernatural worlds since Twilight. I’m not sure if anyone could but I’m sure if casting and stuff really wanted to they could find someone. But would it be doing a musical from a legit musical or original songs like Disney Channel musical episodes used to do?

Once you’re bitten by the musical bug, it’s hard to get rid of. Maybe audiences loved their attempt at singing more than we realized? I’m thinking original material? If only to avoid the comparison wars. 

Also: Team Edward or Jacob?

[gingrandjazz]

smytheofficial‌:

I actually happen to like social media, and I’d say my 23 million followers like mine as well.

Twenty-three million!? That’s ... amazing.
