Octavia Spencer News

Hey Stranger Friends, we have a whole lot to talk about after watching this week's episode of THE RED BAND SOCIETY. There was a little something for everyone, as every single character, (except Kenji), had a fun moment or two in the spotlight. Charlie is awake and blinking now, so everyone is going a little crazy. The Red Bander's are on the hunt for some of his favorite things to get him moving and talking again; Kara is trading this hunt for Hunter, and trying to find out a little more about what his deal is and who this new woman/girlfriend, may be in his life; and Nurse Jackson and Dr. McAndrews are a little freaked out if the Neurology Specialist they sent for Charlie, may be some quack that was interrupted from his AMERICAN IDOL audition.

'Defy Reality" in this all-new official teaser trailer for Lionsgate's THE DIVERGENT SERIES: INSURGENT, hitting theaters on March 20, 2015.

Oscar-winning actress Octavia Spencer stopped by CBS's THE TALK to discuss her role in the new television show 'Red Band Society' and working with legendary director and producer Steven Spielberg.

Two-week break is over Stranger Friends, RED BAND SOCIETY is back and not a minute too soon. I have been holding my breath ever since Nurse Jackie went all sneaky on everyone with Charlie's blood sample at the end of our last episode. All sorts of unanswered questions left us hanging over the World Series break, and almost all of them were addressed tonight, with a couple new one's added to the list. Two new characters were added to the mix as well; Dr. Erin Grace, played by singer/actress Mandy Moore, is the newly hired Chief of Surgery for Ocean Park Hospital, as well as the ex-fiancé of Dr. McAndrews, and a new mysterious bad boy patient, Hunter, played by Daren Kagasoff, immediately gives our snarky cheerleader, Kara, a run for her money.

Fox is showing a little more confidence in its freshman comedy/drama RED BAND SOCIETY.

All right Stranger Friends, we have made it to episode 5 of the RED BAND SOCIETY and FOX is sticking with it so far, even with ratings that are lower than expected. If you picked this episode to start watching, or if the studio heads need a reminder why to keep the show on the air, this was the one to watch. Octavia Spencer reminds us that she is in fact an Oscar Winning actress, and shines so bright in this episode, I had to wear shades. I knew we would find out why our series narrator, Charlie aka Coma Boy, got into his current condition, and I was really hoping it could change his name to something cool, like Motorcycle Dude, or Rock Climbing Kid. No such luck.
