CASTING NEWS: Justin and Alexa Return!!
This is turning into a real party! Justin Bruening (Jamie) and Alexa Havins (ex-Babe) will be returning to AMC in September for a few shows before the show signs off on ABC. Jamie's return is easy enough, he's been in Africa working with Doctors Without Borders. Babe, that's a little trickier. Babe died several years ago when a tornado hit Pine Valley (then played by Amanda Baker). Another ghost? Another "victim" of the Orpheus Project? Just how many people has Dr. David Haywardstein risen from the dead?? Alexa currently stars in the Starz incarnation of Torchwood and Justin stars in the Wonder Woman pilot that is looking for a home. The couple has been married since 2005 and have one child, a daughter Lexington.
HA!! The Princess and I were just making a list yesterday of potential "dead" Pine Valley residents that could show up as part of the Orpheus Project. Babe was definitely one that came up.
ReplyDeleteRead a couple of days ago that Jamie was coming back, but in that interview, Alexa wasn't sure about herself. So either she played it close to the vest or they just worked it out this week.
ReplyDeleteProject Orpheus: making my hopes and dreams come true since 2011
Gillian Andrassy, Edmund Grey: come on down.
Great news. They were the last couple I really was rooting for (then split up and pushed her back with JR) until Kendall and Griffin. I just LOVE the chemistry between them. This is why I started watching AMC back in 1982. For the LOVE stories....
ReplyDeleteI hope Babe is a ghost. David was so destroyed when she died, to now make it like he had saved her and was just acting that entire time? Hard to swallow.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Babe was crushed by a building collapsing and died from her injuries in a hospital. I realize that doesn't mean anything (Jesse's back after all) but...well, it should mean something.
I agree with you, Sonja. I'm all for alumni returning but, the dead should remain dead. I'm not "over the moon" with Dixie's return as a "live person." Zach and Leo can return because their bodies were never found, but Dixie and now, maybe, Babe - alive and well. Even as the days dwindle down, I don't want a ScFi version of AMC.
ReplyDeleteRemember that David took Babe to the hospital rooftop when she died, so he could have slipped her a drug to make it appear as if she died. It would really stick it to JR and Krystal for the way they've always treated him.
ReplyDeleteMy hope is that Alexa Havins comes back in a short, but leading role, as the boil on Ryan's butt. That's all she's good for. If David does have her stored somewhere, I hope it's in parts in Tupperware containers.
ReplyDeleteOmg....I'm a HUGE Babe/Alexa fan and this news just makes my day! I know, it is a little much bringing many of the "dead" but some are so worth it to me! Jr needs his happy ending...even Adam got his with Brooke! I too loved Gillian and if leo had come back for Greenlee then Gillian would be awesome to come back for Ryan! I do get sick of the Dixie dead/alive/dead/alive storylines but in the end I would like to see Tad happy! I reaaaaaly hope Babe is alive and comes for Jr!!!
ReplyDeleteUmm wow boesveld...that sounds a bit much. I have recently been reminded about people having a right to their own opinions, but the thoughts on your post are rather disturbing...

ReplyDeleteWhat's a little Tupperware among friends?? And as for her playing a boil, isn't that what she her Momma have been ever since they descended on the Valley?
ReplyDeleteI agree about being disturbed. That stinkbug Babe and her Momma Ho disturbed just about everyone they could grift on to.
I'm just thinking, for once, maybe Babe could be even more than just a sum of her (separated) parts.
I loved Alexa as Babe and hated when she left... if she is alive, I wonder how they will write it... If I recall correctly didn't Babe own half of Fusion, but she left it back to Greenlee when she died? or something like that, wonder if she will take it back or how the relationships will be.... so many possibilities!
