Don Diamont Gets Kinky on THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL
Diamont's Bill Spencer is about to get kinky with, of all people, psycho-villain Quinn Fuller (Rena Sofer)!
"We're not cable but we certainly take it as far as we can — and I don't think there's ever been anything like it in daytime," Diamont says, noting that the sex-with-whips action drew lots of attention at the CBS studio. "Suddenly, our crew seemed to double. I was, like, 'Who are all these people?'"
Where Is My Family on TV?
According to a 2012 Census Bureau report, mixed-race Americans, while still a small minority, are one of the fastest-growing demographic groups in the country, driven by immigration and an uptick in intermarriage. Yet while there are some very public examples of seemingly stable mixed-race families — the de Blasios of New York or even Kim, Kanye and sweet baby Nori come to mind — they are remarkably absent from our screens. (Our biracial president does get his share of screen time, of course.)
How THE WALKING DEAD Breaks Every Rule We Know About TV Hits
To simply chalk up the success of THE WALKING DEAD to the viability of the horror genre is to misunderstand the show. It's never been some splatterpunk thrill ride like the “Saw” film franchise; there’s actually just as much an arthouse sensibility to TWD as there is to other AMC shows like MAD MEN and BREAKING BAD. And as Sunday night's episode indicated, the series doesn't adhere to conventional storytelling. Then there’s the tone of TWD, which is so bleak it practically thumbs its nose at mass appeal. Throw in the fact the show hasn’t minted any true breakout stars and attracts zero awards buzz, and these gaudy ratings are even more inexplicable.
Framed by My Fiancé premieres November 24 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Lifetime. The film stars One Life to Live alums Jason-Shane Scott and Katrina Bowden.
