OLTL Alum Trevor St. John In CW's Containment Premiering Tuesday Night!
Tuesday night on the CW is the premiere of Containment (9pMEST/PST). The drama focuses on a pandemic and the officials charged with controlling the crisis and those quarantined and cut off from their loved ones.
From Vampire Diaries EP Julie Plec and director David Nutter, the series opens up on “Day 13” of the crisis, with a flashback to “Day 1,” when the epidemic strikes, and authorities quickly move to mitigate the threat by isolating those who were potentially exposed.
CW describes the show as an “event series,” and it’s leaving the door open for the program to continue on if it is successful with the audience, although some early reviews have not been so favorable.
One Life to Live alum, Trevor St. John is in the cast which also includes: Christina Moses, Chris Woods, David Gyasi, Hanna Mangan Lawrence, Kristen Gutoskie and George Young.
In an interview with Access Hollywood, St. John previews his character of Leo, an investigative journalist who is key to the series. St. John admits: “I love playing characters who don’t quite know right from wrong … some boundary issues. All they know is what they want and they go straight for it. Those are the interesting characters.” And as One Life to Live fans know, St. John played Todd Manning, who eventually turned out to be Victor Lord Jr., who inhabited those same character traits.
After the jump, watch the Access Hollywood red carpet chitchat with Trevor, and then a trailer for Containment. Let us know if you will be checking out the outbreak drama to see Trevor!
I put it in my favorites, last week..
I will give it the 4 episode look-see, if I keep up with or not..
So far by the trailers- TSJ looks like the best part …. lol
Trevor St. John is a super actor and I’ve been looking forward to this program because of him. I hope we get to see a great deal of him.
The concept of the show is very interesting. My concern is are they going to really tell a story or are they going to rely on special effects for shock value? My fingers are crossed for story telling and character development.
Also, BREE WILLIAMSON on “Castle” tonight on ABC.
Thanks Steve. I usually DVR ‘Castle’, but, there have been many episodes which I omit.
And unfortunately for Castle fans, Stana Katic have been let go from the show if ever it gets renewed for a ninth season.

You are most welcome, CeeCee.
@James.
Awwww!! Really, James? What a big let-down. The show will not be the same without her, if it does get picked up again.
I love Bree Williamson. She did a terrific job playing the adult Jessica on OLTL. Thanks for letting us know.
Love you, Trevor!!
hey CeeCee..

Outstanding Actress In A Digital Daytime Drama Series Nominated Performances!
Did you see; Kathleen Gati (Valentina) Winterthorne??(doc.o)
wow and WOW!
I noticed no comment for you 🙁 ..
(( hint- outstanding!
ok- now back to Trevor.. that man, well- I want to take him home ,,, ahaa!
Thanks, su. I completely missed that site. Always in a hurry. Can’t you tell by the ‘autocorrect’? LOL.
However, I remedied that and left my comment.
mmmmm I have missed seeing that stud every day on One Life To Live. I will have to watch him in this.
This guy should be a movie star. His death penelty story years ago was the best thing I ever saw on TV , never mind daytime. He should have won an Emmy that year. Walking into the role of Todd would have been suicide to another lessor actor. He had his own with all those sosp vets.

DAYS Alum Tanner Stine to Appear in ‘Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story’ Starring Nicholas Chavez
Another face familiar to daytime fans has already boarded Ryan Murphy’s limited series, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story which stars General Hospital favorite, Nicholas Chavez (Spencer Cassadine) in the role of Lyle.
Tanner Stine who played Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) and Steve’s (Stephen Nichols) son, Joey Johnson on Days of our Lives will also appear in the series.
In ‘Monsters’, look for Stine to portray the role of Perry Berman, who was Lyle and Erik’s friend and former tennis coach. In the story, Perry found himself at the epicenter of the murder mystery when he had accepted a phone call from Lyle shortly before the brutal murders of Jose and Kitty Menendez.
Other previously announced castings included: Cooper Koch (who plays Erik), Javier Bardem and Chloë Sevigny as parents Jose and Kitty Menendez, Nathan Lane as Dominick Dunne, Ari Graynor as Leslie Abramson, and Leslie Grossman as Judalon Smyth.
In the series, the two wealthy brothers stand trial for shooting their parents in Beverly Hills, amid claims of self-defense after years of abuse, while prosecutors alleged that greed was the motives for the killing. Lyle and Erik Menendez have been behind bars in California for more than three decades for the 1989 killing of their parents.
Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story will debut later in 2024 on Netflix.

More of the Story on ‘General Hospital’ Star Josh Kelly’s Latest Film Role in ‘The Workout’
We had previously shared that General Hospital’s Josh Kelly was taking three weeks away from his role of Cody Bell to a shoot a role in an upcoming movie entitled The Workout.
Josh originally revealed his role in the film during an episode of GH castmates, Steve Burton (Jason) and Bradford Anderson’s (Spinelli) podcast.
Now Deadline has filled in some of the blanks, and shared some intriguing intel on the premise of the film and its back-story. The film stars Kelly along with Peter Jae, and UFC Fighter, Ashlee Evans-Smith. Other cast members include The Bay’s Kristos Andrews.
In The Workout, two army rangers set out to create a workout video, but their plans are abruptly halted when a mob hit interrupts their filming. Tragically, one of the rangers loses his wife in the attack, sending him on a relentless mission to take down the mob and anyone who stands in his way.
The film from James Cullen Bressack, almost did not get financed. Apparently, ten days before his birthday, Bressack made a post on Instagram about the feature and production, casting, and financing came from the post … illustrating the power of social media. After the post gained traction, a producer provided financing and actors expressed interest in joining the project, leading to a quick production.
In a statement, Bressack shared, “As artists a painter paints, a musician makes music, a writer writes, but as filmmakers we have to ask permission to create. It’s time to change that narrative. This film spawned from a necessity to create. We create. We tell stories. We play pretend. I’m excited to take this journey. This is the truest form of collaboration and a community of friends coming together to make something fun. While our industry has had a rough time recently with strikes and a possible strike looming in the future, it’s nice to remind ourselves why we got into film to begin with. To have fun telling stories.”
No word yet on when The Workout will be released.
So, looking forward to seeing this collaborative effort featuring GH’s Josh Kelly? Comment below.
