Hello thank you for all of your wonderful podcasts.
Amrie, when you described disliking Kristina from GH at 30:30 discussion of Wicked City, I completely agree with you. While I like Wicked City somewhat all I can see is Kristina 🙂
btw I just saw John Noble on Elementary (first episode of the season)= now there is an actor that can play any role and yes I remember his prior roles but he is the new character for me as well!
So much tv, never enough time. . . happy watching jason, amrie, rae, semi-regular Kyle and various guest hosts
Elizabeth, Thanks for listening. Love that you had the same problem with Jamie Ray Newman as Amrie does. John Noble is great. Looking forward to seeing more of him on the coming episodes. So many shows, so little time indeed.
