Emily VanCamp Celebrates Four-Season Run On ‘The Resident’ As She Exits Series: “It’s Such A Bittersweet Moment For Me”
SPOILER ALERT: The story includes details about the Oct. 5 episode of The Resident. EXCLUSIVE: It was a bittersweet goodbye for Emily VanCamp on Tuesday night’s episode of Fox ’s The Resident , as her character Nic Nevin succumbed to her injuries from an automobile accident. But VanCamp says she made the right decision for her and her growing family, which now includes a daughter, Iris. Yes, there was some overlap between VanCamp’s pregnancy and that of Nic, which helped the actress keep her special little secret quiet until she announced the birth in September—in her own time. “It was very interesting, mostly because I’m very private about my family life,” she tells Deadline exclusively about being pregnant on the show and in real life. “It allowed us to keep the pregnancy quiet and to have something that’s just ours for a little while. That was beautiful in and of itself—to finally have a little privacy. The timing wasn’t exactly the same, so I was wearing a … [Read more...] about Emily VanCamp Celebrates Four-Season Run On ‘The Resident’ As She Exits Series: “It’s Such A Bittersweet Moment For Me”
Maggie Peterson Dies: ‘The Andy Griffith Show’ Actress Was 81
Maggie Peterson , an actress who made a lasting impression as the sweet-natured, occasionally flirtatious mountain girl Charlene Darling on The Andy Griffith Show in the 1960s, died May 15 in Colorado, her family has announced. “It is with great sorrow that we report that our dear Aunt Maggie died yesterday afternoon,” the family posted on Facebook today. “She passed peacefully in her sleep with her family present.” Hollywood & Media Deaths In 2022: Photo Gallery Although she appeared on only five episodes of the classic rural sitcom in the Charlene role, Peterson was among the show’s most familiar and memorable recurring cast members, often joining her onscreen family The Darlings (played by real-life bluegrass group The Dillards, along with actor Denver Pyle as patriarch Briscoe Darling) in singalongs. Peterson developed a catchphrase with her repeated entreaties about the sentimental impact of outrageously titled song suggestions, as in the following … [Read more...] about Maggie Peterson Dies: ‘The Andy Griffith Show’ Actress Was 81

Seth Meyers Skewers Will Smith, Golden Globes & Reboots, Pitches ‘That Was Them’ Series In NBCUniversal Upfront Roast
Will Smith got double-ribbing at NBCUniversal’s upfront presentation Monday morning at Radio City Music Hall by both of NBC’s late-night hosts. Following Jimmy Fallon’s subtle reference at the start of the event to “nailing” the timing of Peacock’s Fresh Prince of Bel-Air drama reboot , whose run coincided with Will Smith’s infamous slap at the Oscars, Seth Meyers went further in his traditional NBCU upfront roast. “We are joined today by the talented cast of Peacock’s Bel-Air, a gritty dramatic reimagining of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air . “We were also treated this year to a gritty drama reimagining of Will Smith,” he said. A longtime NBC staple, the Golden Globes , which Meyers hosted in 2018, also were in the comedian’s crosshairs. After multiple controversies, including a lack at diversity at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which organizes the awards show, the network dropped the 2022 telecast. “It was a great year for live events on … [Read more...] about Seth Meyers Skewers Will Smith, Golden Globes & Reboots, Pitches ‘That Was Them’ Series In NBCUniversal Upfront Roast
‘9-1-1’ & ‘The Resident’ Close Season 6 Renewals In Time For Fox Upfront Presentation
It’s an upfronts miracle: Fox and 20th Television have closed Season 6 renewals of 9-1-1 and The Resident for the 2022-23 season. I hear the negotiations were completed shortly before the Fox upfront presentation’s 4 p.m. ET start. The two shows, both in their fifth seasons, were featured briefly in the presentation’s opening montage, but the previously renewed 9-1-1: Lone Star was mentioned in the opening remarks by Fox head of sales Marianne Gambelli. There were no specific reference to 9-1-1 a nd The Resident since the Fox presentation had been pre-taped, so no last-minute tweaks were possible. As Deadline had been reporting over the weekend, renewal negotiations on both shows went down to the wire and could not close by Sunday night for 9-1-1 and The Resident to be included in Fox’s 2022-23 content slate release sent out Monday morning. From what I’ve heard, the two sides were not that far apart by Sunday night, and both made concessions in order … [Read more...] about ‘9-1-1’ & ‘The Resident’ Close Season 6 Renewals In Time For Fox Upfront Presentation

Why The Cast Of ‘This Is Us’ Didn’t Get their Final Curtain Call at the NYC Upfronts
One of the more memorable moments from NBC upfront presentations of yesteryear was when the cast members of The West Wing took the stage at Radio City Music Hall after their first season. The reception was huge: The cast received a well-deserved standing ovation. No such moment for the cast of This is Us , which has its series finale on May 24. The actors who made up one of the few bright spots on broadcast television were nowhere to be found in Radio City Music Hall, having scattered after production wrapped on the drama earlier this month. They were definitely invited, Deadline was told, but many were already committed to other projects and simply couldn’t attend. Bummer; they deserved their own standing ovation. NBC did pay tribute to the hit show by sharing a pre-taped package featuring Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia, Sterling K. Brown, Chrissy Metz, Justin Hartley, Susan Kelechi Watson, Chris Sullivan and Jon Huertas reflecting on their memorable time … [Read more...] about Why The Cast Of ‘This Is Us’ Didn’t Get their Final Curtain Call at the NYC Upfronts
