Tracy Spiridakos and Ainsley Seiger
Tracy, discovered by JJ Abrams for that show "Revolution" that not even EW could turn into a hit (though not for lack of trying), landed on Chicago PD in -- I think -- the wake of Sophia Bush's departure. Chicagos PD and Fire are my big half-eye shows that I will put on to have company while I'm working, and she's good on it. Her wardrobe is, essentially, jeans. So it must be nice for her to get dolled up for work in a way she never does on set. Ainsley plays a character named JET SLOOTMAEKERS on L&O: Organized Crime, and I feel like "slootmaekers" is a good word for whatever her butt belts are here.
Kola Bokinni, Billy Harris and James Lance
I didn't have a full-length shot of them, but that's okay, because I am enjoying an up-close look at their top halves. All three of them are so dapper.
Cynthia Addai-Robinson in Christopher Kane
So, I fell away from the new LOTR before she really had anything to do, but she's its big rep in Monte Carlo so I assume I missed some major plot. (Don't tell me; someday I'll go back.) I have liked things more than I like this -- but I have also loathed Christopher Kane dresses more than this, and he just announced he's shuttering his label, which is sad.
Cynthia Addai-Robinson in Erdem
This is VERY pretty. Maybe... needs a stronger lip?
Alexandra Park
Great dress; I'd love a more fun shoe, but overall, still a really successful ensemble. You might recall Alexandra from The Royals on E (FIRE TED). She's in Monte Carlo to promote Everyone Is Doing Great, which is a show that's basically "What if the dudes from Supernatural were kind of grasping at relevance after their show ended," alongside her husband...
James Lafferty
... Nathan Scott, of One Tree Hill. (I assume the connective tissue there is that Mark Schwahn EP'd both shows, which... is a shame because he turned out to be such a dirtbag; you never want to owe your love to a dirtbag, but whatever, they have each other.)
More parties for the show. I don't care for her bodice, but they DO appear to be doing great. Mazel.
Stephen Colletti
He knows Lafferty from being on OTH together, and presumably he's great to work with because he's the other ex-tv-vampire on Everyone Is Doing Great. I love this shirt, but might wish for it with darker pants.
Constance Zimmer
I'm sad that her work on "UnREAL" didn't catapult her into bigger projects. It would have been fun to see her verbally destroy one of the Roy boys.
Caitlin Bassett
She is the co-lead on the new Quantum Leap, and she's good on it -- the show itself is better than I expected it to be for sure, and a comforting one-eye experience. She is in the Dean Stockwell role and has to deliver a lot of exposition while using the word "Ziggy" (the name of their computer) and I imagine that is much harder than it sounds. She does it adeptly. HOWEVER, I don't love the shirt.
Raymond Lee
He's the Scott Bakula of the new show. He's fine, but not... brimming with layers? I think he warmed up as the show went on, though. This is a very sensible outfit that I imagine his character would also wear.
Amelia Heinle
The other thing about Monte Carlo is that they love the soaps, so The Young and the Restless is represented here. That seems like an ideal thing to pack for a breezy summer trip to a rich hamlet.
Christel Khalil
She's also on Y&R, and looks exactly the way she did when she began on the show a LOOONG time ago. This is chic on her.
Melody Thomas Scott
And of course, Nikki Newman herself. That whole ensemble is perfect -- a whiff of Posh Nautical, as is fitting for a town with what I assume are that many yachts.
Josh Duhamel
He is working some slightly skeezy hair right now, but I am into the purple.
Arnaud Binard, Kevin Dias
I am delighted for these two Emily in Paris co-stars that they can gad about Monaco, but it's wild to me that they couldn't get ANYONE higher on the call sheet. Where is Ashley Park when you need her??
Cristo Fernandez, Kola Bokinni, Billy Harris, James Lance
I decided this group appearance is, in part, to keep us warm for the AFC Richmond players in the event that Apple greenlights a spinoff.
Neal McDonough, Ruve McDonough and family
This guy works like CRAZY. He has 12 upcoming projects, not including this one (some Western) because IMDb lists it as already out. No wonder he brought the whole fam! Take your vacations when and where you can. (Fun fact: He met his wife while filming Band of Brothers.)
Dylan McDermott
Not loving the blue and black combo as deployed here, but he otherwise looks very Dylan McDermott-y. Carry on.
