Here's Johnny!

Ted Reilly as Johnny Carter.

So, this is going to be the new Johnny Carter. I think he's cute! I've seen him in both Suspects and Grantchester before. It's not stated when Johnny is going to return to Walford but let's hope that Eastender has something good in mind this character. That does not include Ben Mitchell or Paul Coker. Please.

Lovely Luke

Luke Newberry in Banana.

This thursday you could see Luke Newberry in Banana. And he was great as always! I think he is an absolutely amazing actor and he is such a sweatheart. I realized he has played gay in abot everything I've seen. He's gay in In the Flesh, at least Kieren's in a relationship with a man, or zombie, and that counts. He was gay in Suspects as well. And he was really great in it! He played a small part as a young policeman in Sherlock, but we were not told about his sexuality, but you can only imagine he was a bit bicurious at least. I've also seen him in Anna Karenina as Vasily Lukich. I can't remember anything about his preferences but he was Russian and let's not go there. I know nothing about Luke Newberry's sexuality and that is not relevant, but he really has been typecasted as gay. I don't mind!

Oh creepy

Emmett J. Scanlan in Suspects.

This week, finally, Suspects third season started. Also a short season with only four episodes. But in the first, Emmett J. Scanlan starred. I have been waiting! And he was brilliant as usual! But he was really creepy! I never thought Brendan Brady was creepy. Not at all. I always loved Brendan. But this part, the head teacher Rory O'Hanlon, was a real psychopath. Brendan is just a softy-psychopath if you ask me. And a hilarious one. And this shows what a magnificent actor Emmett is, when he is so believable as a creepy head teacher and a sociopathic, self-loathing, homophobic gay man (that character has it all), for instance.

Emmett J. Scanlan in The Fall.

There's lot's of Emmett right now. We have finally taken up watching the second season of the Fall, and he has an a lot prominent roll in this season. Glen Martin is a quite enjoyable character to watch. And the series is really great! But it is quite weird to see Emmett playing a good guy. The head teacher was creep and sorry Brendan Brady, you were never a good guy, even though I will always love you!

Emmett J. Scanlan and Claire Cooper.

By the way, more Emmett news for devoted fans: this Christmas Emmett and his girlfriend Claire Cooper (Jacqui McQueen in Hollyoaks) got engaged! He proposed and she said yes. What a joy! Congratulaions to both! I like weddings. I hope that they do to.

Some Suspects

EThere is a great show called Suspects on Channel 5 that is on their second season right now. It is a quite classic crime drama with a twist. The twist is that there is no real script with lines. The actors get som script outlines and improvises the dialogue. And it is really great! Because of the improvising the dialogues and the acting seems more natural, because, in fact, mostley (if you haven't rehearsed in your head) our lines in real life are improvised.

Luke Newberry in Suspects.

And there are some interesting characters for us in it. In the first two episodes of series 2 Luke Newberry played the part of Nate Turner who was in fact a suspect for a while. I realised two things by watching those two episodes: 1. Luke Newberry is very very slim and 2. Luke Newberry is a really really good actor! I had learned both facts by watching In the Flesh, but now I just realised it even more.

And guess what, Luke Newberrys character Nate Turner, yes he was gay. He played a 19 year old gay character that already had his struggles in life. And I for one at least felt for him. Poor Nate.

And speaking of In the Flesh and Luke Newberry. Emmett J. Scanlan will also be part of Suspects! In season 1, all storys spanned over one episode, but in season two the storylines are double episodes. That means that we have two episodes with Emmett to look forward to!

You would think that the episodes will be aired this week because the last two episodes was aired last week and the two first the week before but that is not going to happen. I read that we have to wait until next year before we are able to see the two Emmett-episodes. What is the point of letting us wait that long I wonder? In the last episode we got to see some clips from it and I also read that Emmett will be in season 2. But on wikipedia it says that season 2 is just four episodes and that there will be a season 3 in 2015. But I want to see Emmett now! I think it is very unreasonable of them to letting us wait that long...

But at least Emmett took a photo with Clare-Hope Ashitey and his tashfinger. That is a bit of a comfort at least.

For Hollyoaks fans there is more reasons to watch Suspects than Emmett Scanlan. Also Emmetts girlfriend Claire Cooper starred in the first storyline of season 2. Claire Cooper is no one less than the fabulous Jacqui McQueen for 7 years. In the second storyline we got to see the wonderful Carley Stenson who is known to us as Steph Cunningham.

Emmett J. Scanlan and Karen Gillan in Guardians of the Galaxy.

And when we are on the topic Emmett j. Scanlan I have to tell you that I saw the movie Guardians of the Galaxy this summer, also starring Emmett J. Scanlan. He had the quite small part of the head riot guard, but it was oh so important. And he played oh so good. Well worth going to just to see him. But the movie was really great!

Is it obvious that I have a little bit of a thing for Emmett J. Scanlan?
