Claire Forlani and John Tenney stepped back into the beautifully awful world of Cruel Intentions for Prime’s reboot series, where everyone’s rich, powerful, emotionally broken, and making the worst decisions possible. They talked legacy, manipulation, power dynamics, and why these characters are so much fun to watch even when they’re being absolutely dreadful. Plus: Mallrats nostalgia, And Just Like That appearances, and why stories like this never stop getting remade.

Claire Forlani: "Playing someone so dreadful is oddly freeing."

'Ghost Stalkers' Ends on a High Note

After just six episodes, "Ghost Stalkers" ended its first season at the Farrar School, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. 

In general, I think the series has come a long say since its humble beginnings (when I had absolutely no idea what was going on). Now that the show seems to have a sense of direction (portals, am I right?) and I know a little more about the guys, I'm more inclined to stick around as a viewer.

John E.L. Tenney, one of the co-investigators of the show, also brought up an intriguing theory in the last episode at the Farrar School. The location, which had no recorded deaths on the property, seemingly had no reason to generate paranormal activity. Tenney's theory was that there indeed was a portal on the property, and that there was a "gatekeeper" of some sorts -- a non-human entity that has been around since ancient times -- allowing entities from the spirit world to come in and out at the Farrar School.

Why is this interesting? Because:

This is the first show I've seen aside from "The Dead Files" to talk about ancient entities impacting our physical realm and the spirit world in modern day.

The "Gatekeeper" theory makes some sense, whether or not you believe it -- the idea of an entity that lets us catch glimpses into other realms, but not see the entire picture. 

Tenney mentions that the "Gatekeeper's" purpose is to keep us questing -- keep us looking for answers into the spirit world. After all, if we had all of the answers, the hunt would be over, right?

That being said, I certainly hope "Ghost Stalkers" returns for another season. Seeing as "Ghost Adventures'" Nick Groff is one of the masterminds behind the show, I don't see it dying off very easily (or without a fight).

Until then, godspeed, John and Chad.
