OLTL Alum Ryan Phillippe Weighs-In on Shocking Twist in Season Opener of ‘Big Sky’
Hold on to your seats! Last night’s highly-anticipated arrival of ABC’s new drama, Big Sky from David E, Kelley offered several shocking moments and surprises as the dark story took viewers down a twisty path as we were introduced to all the characters.
Throughout it’s promotional push the network has touted the series having three leads played by One Life to Live alum, and TV and motion picture star, Ryan Phillippe (Ex-Billy Douglas), along with Katheryn Winnick, and Kylie Bunbury

Turns out that was a set-up so viewers, who had spent the entire hour learning of the complex relationships of this threesome, and how they work together to begin to solve a crime of three young women who have gone missing and kidnapped But then in the episode’s final moments, Phillippe’s character of PI Cody Hoyt is shot dead!
Ryan shared his thoughts on going into the series knowing his character would be killed-off right off the bat: “I was shocked certainly, and I think that’s also what made me so excited about it. So often in entertainment you can see what’s coming a month away, and to have moments in a series like this where it kind of takes your breath away, when you are absolutely shocked and did not see it coming, it’s exciting to me.” Phillippe added: “I think it sends the message that in a series like this, no one is safe, so you really have to pay attention and hope that the people you love stick around.”
But will Phillippe’s Cody be seen on future episodes such as Milo Ventimigilia is seen on This Is Us? Ryan told a press panel: “That’s not the last you’ll see or hear of him.”
Look for Cody to definitely appear in flashbacks, while Deadline is reporting that the actor will be seen in several more installments of the TV drama.
In story, Cody was shot by State Trooper Rick Legarski (John Carroll Lynch) who is covering-up being at the epicenter of sex trafficking ring in Montana. While viewers saw a bloody ending, we never saw an image of a dead Cody either, we can only assume.
Did you watch the season premiere of Big Sky? What do you think of network TV becoming more like some of the hottest shows on cable with shocking and unexpected twists right off the bat as the series begin? Share your thoughts below.
Well, it may very well be one of the last times we see or hear him, because the show is horrible and won’t make it to the new year.
Why not, because you don’t like it?
I only tuned in for Ryan Phillippe. If he’s gone – so am I. Idiot writers.
Oh, I loved the first episode although I had no idea what it would be like. I have always liked David Kelley’s shows so that’s why I watched it, and it did not disappoint!
Violet, I’m afraid it disappointed me. Too many cliched characters and plot lines. To say nothing of violence against women.
Hope all is well with you. Take care.

Thanks for your input and I respect your reasoning. I admit I do not think of all those things you mentioned, I just watch what I like and truthfully I did not see all the stuff leading to the final scene. I had no idea beforehand what the show was going to be about so was totally surprised at the ending with the Trooper and his part in it, leading to the women trafficking . It is brutal and hopefully they will stop all these animals that are doing this in the real world. Right now I am so scared of this COVID and our country turning into a cival war, I watch just about anything to keep my mind off of it.Iam O.K so far. Am counting on my Vitamin D to keep me that way. You stay well also. Nice “talking” to you, though I did most of it. Have a very good Thanksgiving.
Filled with cliches telegraphed a mile away. A waste of talent and time.

Serena Scott Thomas to Days of our Lives, But What Role Will She Play?
Look who’s coming to Salem next? In a tease on their official Instagram account, Days of our Lives has revealed that Serena Scott Thomas has been on set and will debut in an upcoming role, leaving many fans guessing just who might she play.
The English actress and documentary producer has previously starred in Diana, Her Story as Diane Prince of Wales, Dr. Molly Warmflash in the James Bond film The World Is Not Enough, and played the villainess ‘Watcher” in Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, and Bruce Willis’ wife in the film, Hostages among others.
Serena is the younger sister of Kristen Scott Thomas, best known for her Oscar-nominated role in The English Patient. Several DAYS fans are already weighing in that Serena will play Konstantine’s (John Kaeplos) wife.

However, NannyKat 63 may have it all figured out the best, when she posted, that not only will “Serena play Kostantine’s wife,” but the character “had an affair with Victor Kiriakis and got pregnant.” Thus, making Xander (Paul Telfer) her son. She went on to theorize, “Perhaps, And John and Steve will find her in the nick of time… and she’ll enter in time to stop the wedding of Maggie to him. Xander will find out his true identity then. The baby was given to Victor’s brother to be raised in Scotland.”

Sounds plausible to us! Another guess came from donnamoore_23 who said, “Ya’ll think he could be Bobberette ‘s mom or sister or .. SOMETHING to do with his story .. someone who can back up what trauma he went through to be so sick? 🤷🏼♀️ but I think y’all are right could be Katerina.”

Two DAYS stars, Tamara Braun (Ava) and Linsey Godfrey (Sarah) also shared comments on Serena Scott Thomas’ upcoming appearance on DAYS. Godfrey simply said, “YES!!!! while Braun add her guess, expressing, “Ava’s mum. Oh wait, her mom was killed by her dad. Or was she? 🤔”
