Working on a television show seems like all glitz, glamour, and craft services. However, there is a lot of downtime with nothing to do.
So what do the actors do? If they are 9-1-1’s Kenneth Choi, Peter Krause, and Ryan Guzman, then they spent that time throwing an ice pack at each other’s firehouses.
By the looks of it, the real 9-1-1 got a call from them because that looks like it hurt a lot.
You can also tell they do this all the time because Aisha Hinds is unfazed by their crazy antics. She is just letting her boys be boys!
You can watch Hinds and those boy on the 9-1-1 two-part event Contagion, which starts tonight at 8p on ABC.
ABC had good news for Will Trent, The Rookie, 9-1-1, Shifting Gears, and Grey’s Anatomy because they picked up all five shows for another season.
However, Doctor Odyssey is still waiting by the phone to find out if it will set sail again or if it will sink.
Since ABC has already picked up the 9-1-1 spinoff, 9-1-1: Nashville, I think we know they will do a Rose and let it die like Jack. I mean, how many Ryan Murphy shows do they need? Additionally, I am sure it is an expensive show to pay for Joshua Jackson and Don Johnson’s salaries, and they are not getting the ratings to justify that pay.
Today was a good day for several series on CBS, Hulu, and ABC.
I will start the news off with CBS. The network picked up Tracker, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, Hollywood Squares, Elsbeth, Fire Country, NCIS, NCIS: Origins, and NCIS: Sydney for another season.
But that is only eight shows. What is #9? Ghosts will haunt us for two more seasons.
Those nine join returning shows Matlock, FBI, Survivor, and The Amazing Race, new shows Fire County spinoff Sheriff Country, Blue Bloods spinoff Boston Blue, and singing competition The Road.
Over at Hulu, Dan Fogleman’s Paradise, which stars his This Is Us star Sterling K. Brown, will remain underground for another season.
Finally, ABC loves 9-1-1 so much that they are adding Nashville to the franchise next season. But before then, we are going to get a 9-1-1/Doctor Odyssey crossover in March. According to Variety, the episode takes part during Casino week, and “unexpected guest Athena Grant suspects two passengers are targeting the ship’s vault. Enlisting Max’s help, Athena raises the stakes in a dangerous game where not everyone will end up with a winning hand.”
I wish ABC and Ryan Murphy had picked someone else to take the cruise because it seems
unrealistic that she would get back on a ship so quickly after last year’s water disaster.
Even though we are seven months away from the 2025-2026 season, I can’t wait for it to start.
Yesterday, we got a sneak peek of the final few episodes of the First Responders procedural. The series is going out with a bang, as in a meteor hauling its way towards Austin.
There were rumors that Lone Star was going to end with a catastrophic event, and this would totally be that.
It’s about time a show that was ending ended with everyone dying! At least, I hope that is how it ends. Not that I want them to die, but I want a program to finally have the balls to kill everyone off. Although, isn’t that how Lost ended?
Lone Star returns on January 20th and will say goodbye on February 3rd.
Dead Like Me’s Callum Blue returned to acting by playing an actor on 9-1-1 for six episodes. Yesterday, we said goodbye to Brad Torrance with a powerful performance. As powerful as that was, he wrote a letter that equals that.
Dear “911” family… I’m going to leave you with this…
Thank you so much for letting me ride along in the fire truck with you on this incredible journey. It has been a privilege to play Brad Torrance. I relate to him in so many ways, but especially that wounded part that is forever searching for something authentic, something that he feels is just out of reach and no matter how much fame, money or how many wives he accumulates on the outside world, that inner yearning to be rescued lingers…
I now understand why 911 is so popular – all of us, at one time or another, may have felt like we needed to be rescued. Sometimes physically, but more often, and almost never addressed, spiritually. It’s a beautiful desire, and an important one because, I believe, it points to the fact that while a brave human being can pull us out of a plane or a burning building, the only hero who can save us spiritually is ourselves and our connection to Love. By anchoring into an usnseen force within, that inner rescuer who will grip our hand tightly and let us know that we are safe and we are never alone, no matter what.
Here’s a thought; You are the hero you’ve been waiting for. And when you find that hero within, you can reach out your hand and lift up others. We are all ONE, we are already saved and we’re all in this together…
I am left feeling entirely satisfied and full of appreciation with my experience on @911onabc, thank you deeply to the high vibrational and beautiful cast, crew, creators, producers, directors and network, you have allowed me to fall in love with acting again and I’m forever grateful.
Mad fun

I hope that Ryan Murphy finds a place for him in something else because our televisions have been missing him. Plus, he proved he is up for it as the lovable Divo actor on the first responders drama.
