Published by skeptic

Vanessa Lachey has posted a heartbreaking but affirmative reminder to NCIS fans that “anything we dream is ours for the taking,” days after the NCIS: Hawaii series finale aired.  NCIS: Hawai’i season three ended on a major cliffhanger that will never be resolved as the series was canceled by CBS. After the episode aired, Vanessa – who stars as Jane Tennant and was the first woman and woman of color to lead the franchise – posted a picture from the series, showing Jane standing with her back to the camera, facing an airplane and navy sailors. “This show meant so much to me… and more every day I find, to lots of people. As an AAPI Woman, Wife, Mother, Colleague & Friend, I am more proud than ever to have been your Jane Tennant on TV,” she captioned the post.  “This journey has taught me to continue to push the envelope and break glass ceilings.

Natasha Behnam teases The Girls on the Bus season 2 and consequences of Lola’s ‘crazy decision’

Natasha Behnam teases The Girls on the Bus season 2 and consequences of Lola’s ‘crazy decision’

Published by Sam

HBO’s The Girls on the Bus is a messy, flawed and honest look at the world of journalism in 2024 – and nowhere is that more clear than in the character arc of Lola Rahaii, portrayed by the brilliant Natasha Behnam.  Lola is Gen Z, a social media warrior with no traditional background in journalism, and the victim of a shooting when she was a teenager, which led to her activism. A first-generation Iranian-American, Lola is angry, and confrontational, and rails against the establishment whenever she can, only to learn that perhaps not only can she teach the other women on the bus something about the world today, but she can also learn and grow by listening.  Natasha is a first generation Iranian-American as well, and tells HELLO! that showrunners Rina Mimoun and Amy Choziak (whose book the show is based on) were open to Lola’s ethnicity being whatever it needed to be after they hired the actor, asking Natasha to sit and talk to the writers to ensure that her personal experiences were woven into the fabric …
