Another one bites the dust! And this case it proves that even if you have an incredible cast, witty writing from the amazing Robert Harling, and tons of publicity, it still could not save this series.

Today GCB was canceled by ABC.  The series, which was anticipated to fill the soapy void that will be left by the conclusion of Desperate Housewives  hit a series low in mid-April after starting out strong in its debut in March.

GCB was based on Kim Gatlin’s 2008 , Good Christian Bitches.  The series featured Leslie Bibb as Amanda Vaughn, a divorced mother and former high school “mean girl” who moves back to her old neighborhood in Dallas.  When she returned, she encountered the leader of the GCB’s Carlene Cockburn, played by series star, Kristin Chenoweth, who was hell-bent on ruining her reputation.   Two of the more popular characters were Blake and Cricket played by Mark Deklin and Miriam Shor.

So just what would a show like GCB  pull out of their bag of tricks for a funny and riveting season finale?  The answer:  enlist the brilliant Sandra Bernhard to play an eco-terrorist who puts the fear of God in the GCB posse!

The finale which airs this Sunday night, May 6th (10PMEST/PST) is titled “Revelation” and here is the lowdown:  When Carlene takes the GCBs down to unincorporated Juarez for the groundbreaking ceremony for the Condos for Christian Living; the GCBs find themselves in danger. (Enter Ms. Bernard!)  Meanwhile Amanda’s suspicions regarding Luke lead to a surprising discovery about Ripp.  And we also know from our recent interview with Mark Deklin, that a threat looms for Blake and Cricket’s marriage!

On-Air On-Soaps chatted with the hilarious Bernhard for a preview of the finale, and why she decided to take on the role of a terrorist!  Plus, the comedienne reveals what her plans are for the future.  Will we see more of Sandra B. on TV in 2013?  Here’s what she had to say about it all!  And make sure to check out a sneak peek clip from the episode featuring Bernhard below after reading our chitchat!

So you are going to hold hostage a bunch of Good Christian Bitches on the season finale?

SANDRA:  Yeah! Well they come down to Mexico and try to build a Christian condo on native land.  I am a Jewish eco-terrorist, Debbie Horowitz, and I am not going to let it happen.  So I hold the girls hostage in this abandoned tin shed in the middle of the Mexican desert, and I torture them! Well, not really, but in the way one would get tortured on GCB. (more…)

The sexy star of GCB, Mark Deklin (Blake Reilly) discussed playing a closet gay role amongst a sea of Good Christian Bitches, in a brand new interview with On-Air On-Soaps, Michael Fairman  for Frontiers LA.com. 

Deklin addressed his original concerns taking on the role, how he is loving his notoriety within the LGBT community, and how much he adores his on-screen relationship between Blake and Cricket (Miriam Shor).  Might a little bundle of joy be on the way for this couple if GCB gets picked up for a season two?

Deklin, gives  a sneak peek that a major threat looms for Blake  and that his sexual secret may be revealed to the community in the season finale next Sunday!    Here are a few excerpts!

Deklin on this Sunday’s climatic conclusion in GCB’s season finale! “I will tell you this.  The last several episodes we have brought out a lot of the comedy. The first three or four episodes of my journey as Blake were about building his humanity and showing this wonderful warm-hearted guy that people could attach themselves to emotionally.  And then in the next three episodes or so, I think we earned the right to sort of let Blake get a little bit wacky.  We punched up the comedy which was so much fun. But now we are going to go back to a little more of the soapy element.  We are going to introduce a storyline that is going to take a dark turn.  The big secret is under threat and there may be certain forms of blackmail and extortion, and beyond that I can’t tell you or else I will be “spoiling”. (Laughs)  And this is something people have been asking since the beginning of the show, “Is Blake and Cricket’s secret going to be exposed?”  I am not saying it’s going to be exposed, but I will say, it’s under threat. ” (more…)
