In a hilarious video from Shenaz Treasury (Rama Patel) of One Life to Live, Shenaz goes to various One Life cast mates and asks them to their best impersonation of Rama Patel’s Indian accent! And the results? Well, for some they are less than stellar, but their attempts are admirable! And some are pretty damn close, or are they?

‘Brilliant Minds’ Officially Canceled After 2 Seasons at NBC; DAYS Alum Al Calderon, OLTL Alum Teddy Sears and Zachary Quinto Among the Cast
After languishing on the bubble for months, on Friday, NBC handed down the decision and canceled the medical drama Brilliant Minds after two seasons.
Brilliant Minds stars Zachary Quinto as neurology physician Oliver Wolf, who’s character and the series is inspired by the life and books of neurologist. Oliver Sacks. The series focuses on the medical mysteries of the mind, as Wolf a larger-than-life neurologist and his team of interns explore the last great frontier, the human mind, while grappling with their own relationships and mental health.
The final six episodes of what will now be the end of its second and final season were already set to air beginning on May 27, after being pulled off the network schedule in February as viewership saw a steep decline. Brilliant Minds second season became the lowest-rated drama on linear TV viewing, which didn’t bode well fo a network renewal, although it had its hard core fan base.

There are some exceptional notables in the cast along with the talented Quinto that includes Days of Our Lives alum, Al Calderon (ex-Javi Hernandez) who joined the series in its second season as Nurse Nico Silva, and One Life to Live alum, Teddy Sears (ex-Chad Bennett) who plays Wolf’s love interest and fellow physician, Dr. Josh Nichols.
The rest of the talented cast includes: Tamberla Perry, Ashleigh LaThrop, Alex MacNicoll, Aury Krebs, Spence Moore II, Donna Murphy, John Clarence Stewart, and Brian Altemus.
In an ironic twist of fate on Thursday, April 30, Days of Our Lives finally revealed the actor who was Al Calderon’s successor in the role of Javi, when they announced that actor Jacob Martinez had now stepped into the role. Since DAYS tapes ten months ahead of streaming new episode, Calderon left in the spring of 2025, but will be seen in the part for the final part this month, and then on June 20, Martinez debuts as Salem’s new Javi.
Taking to his Instagram with a sorrowful and heartfelt post on the Brilliant Minds cancellation was Teddy Sears who wrote, “Thank you, Brilliant Minds. I got the call today and I didn’t want to hear, but I knew that it would come, You have to be a particular vintage to quote Don Henley from memory, but that’s the line that came to mind earlier today after I got off the phone with our inimitable showrunner Michael Grassi who delivered the news that NBC has cancelled the series”.

Sears continued, “To say that I feel sad to be moving on from these stories, this character, and this cast and crew just doesn’t paint the entire picture. I’m sad, sure. But I’m also deeply grateful that I got hired to play this part, so proud of the stories we told, and the other actors I got to play alongside. I’m excited to see what comes next, what adventures await, and terrified to be without a professional home. A quick and heartfelt thank you to everyone, all over the globe, who found us and found themselves in us, in our characters and in our stories. We wouldn’t have been able to tell them without you. And we still have 6 fresh episodes yet to air, and I do hope you tune in enjoy the remainder of the series. They’re the best we’ve done.”
As he wrapped up his sentiments, Sears signed off with, “The more I know, the less I understand. All the things I figured out I have to learn again. I’ve been trying to get down to the heart of the matter. But everything changes…Thank you, Brilliant Minds.”
The medical drama was created and executive produced by Michael Grassi alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Lee Toland Krieger, DeMane Davis, Jasmine Russ, Henrik Bastin, Jonathan Cavendish, Andy Serkis and Shefali Malhoutra.

General Hospital
‘General Hospital’s’ Kelly Thiebaud on Britt and Cassius Sibling Drama, But Who Will Ultimately Blow His Cover?
On the April 30 episode of General Hospital, Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) had some choice words and warning for her brother Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) who has been masquerading as his twin, the very dead, Nathan West.
As the story has unfolded, viewers learned that Britt knew all along that when “Nathan” showed up in Port Charles seemingly resurrected with a missing 7 years of his life unexplained, that Cassius was taking his place.
Now in developments on today’s GH, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) is figuring out that this guy pretending to be Nathan is someone else, and Cassius learns from Britt, that Joss is not just a ditzy sorority girl as he claimed, but a WSB agent! The moment stuns Cassius. Are the walls about to close in on him and his charade?

Daytime Emmy winner, Kelly Thiebaud spoke to Soap Opera Digest, about the story point and getting the opportunity this time back at GH to work with Ryan Paevey, when she hadn’t had the chance to before.
BROTHERLY LOVE?
Thiebaud expressed on sharing scenes with Ryan Paevey, “It’s just been so wonderful to have him back and to actually work with him! When he first came onto the show (as Nathan at the end of 2013) I was kind of heading out — it was right towards the end of my contract, so we didn’t actually work together a ton. It’s been really refreshing and so much fun to really spend time together and get to know each other and work together. I think we have really great on-camera chemistry and banter with each other. I really enjoy working with him.”
With the stakes at an all-time, Thiebaud explained how she views her on-screen alter-ego’s involvement with her more hot-to-temper sibling and why Britt revealed the truth about Josslyn to him. “People finding out about Cassius would expose what she’s involved in and what she agreed to do,” explains Kelly “And now Josslyn is digging around, and she’s connected to Carly (Laura Wright) to Jason (Steve Burton) and that whole dynamic! It’s messy!”
BRITT’S MURKY FUTURE
Britt has currently also reached her breaking point with Jason being carted away by the WSB, Rocco (Finn Carr), the child she gave birth to, shooting Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) to protect her and Jason, Marco (Adrian Anchondo) being killed after trying to help her, and Cullum holding over her head getting her Huntington’s disease medication to control her symptoms, while blackmailing her into finishing the research on her father, Cesar Faison’s, final project. Thiebaud summed it up best for Britt right now, sharing, “It’s been a really tough time for her.”
So, who do you think will be the person to blow Cassius’ cover? Will it be Britt herself? Josslyn? Liesl? Brennan? Nina? Lulu? Rocco, Maxie, Cullum or someone else? Let us know your pick in the comment section.

Vicker Man definitely does the best Rama Patel impersonation, lol
Super cute! Josh Kelly is EXTREMELY dreamy.
its so awesome to see them having fun, and genuinely enjoying each other, as family should.
I agree, DC. These little glimpses they’re giving us of life behind the cameras is really interesting and makes me feel a little it closer to these actors as people.
Tuc did a great job. If ever there is a story line of David getting lost in India, he’s ready.
They are all having waaaaaay too much fun, but I wish Erica and Robin had a go at it too.
Rama is sooooo beautiful!
So glad the Patels are back on tha canvas. Agnes Nixon wanted Llanview to be multi-cultural. This insures the tradition continues!
Hope the show is as good and a fun as some of its publicity gimmicks…OLTL could even do better here than when it was on the network. However there are some OLTL fans who cant afford cable or internet who still only recieve just the three networks, so they wont be able to watch. Even if online viewing is the future and network television becomes a thing of the past there are many who cant afford the new way of watching these shows. When tv came in as the new way of entertainment in the 1950s and radio shows became a thing of the past, the economy and job climate was so much better than today! My parents didnt have a tv in those early years but they would go over to my mothers parents to watch until they could afford one of their own. But thats not so easy today: not everyone can go over to a realitives to watch on their laptop or computer, unless the latter is connected to a large tv screen, and some may never be able to get internet to watch online shows because even if hulu is free those people still would have to pay for internet services and simply cant afford the extra bills, especially since internet rates can also go up. Thats why i hope regular network tv which you can still recieve for free without cable, sticks around for those who simply cant afford a computer or laptop, and the internet. Im certain some however can go to the library and use their computers but time there is limited, and that would be a pain in the ass to do all the time for some, especially the elderly, the disabled, and those without transportation. We do need to keep the three networks around for these people as long as we can!
So I guess I’m the only one who finds her voice annoying, minus the accent. It’s too high pitched and she comes across as a ding bat, (Archie, Archie)!
I kinda blame the director for that…i like daytime showing an Indian American family for a change!
Some members of oltl cast are obviously close knit enough to joke abt an Indian accent w/ shenaz. But I don’t think other racial minorities would be comfortable w/ this. I’d rather not watch this video bec I think it would make me cringe. There are enough hollywood films and tv shows w/c already use this kind of humor. Would oltl cast be comfortable if they were asked to joke abt a stereotypical way a gay guy would talk? That would be highly doubtful given how it would be thought of as mocking gay people. glaad and entertainment press scream homophobia when there’s any unflattering portrayal of gay people.
There are obviously very few Asian american actors on tv shows as secondary chars. Isn’t “mindy project” w/ oltl alum the only tv show from hollywood w/ an Asian american leading char? This soap obviously needs press. But was joking abt an Indian accent really necessary given the lack of Asian american chars from majority of hollywood films and tv shows? Would hollywood alienate its lgbt audience? Of course hollywood would not. Yet lgbt only comprise 1.7% of american population according to openly gay activist gary gates. While Pew research has reported that Asian americans are 6% of american population. Pew research reported that Indian americans and Filipino americans are the wealthiest. Everyone has their opinions on political correctness. Some people think lowbrow humor of replicating an Indian accent is amusing. While others have higher standards for humor. But it isn’t good business for a relaunching soap opera to potentially alienate an entire racial minority demographic who has the buying potential of 1.1 trillion dollars. A lot of Asian american chars get whitewashed by hollywood. Many hollywood films and tv shows have cast white actors for Asian american chars. hollywood already lacks representation from Asian american chars. Joking abt Indian accents isn’t good business. I’m not going to debate abt this topic if anyone replies bec no one would debate this topic if the Indian accent was replaced w/ a gay stereotype.
Do you just push a repeat button everytime you post? If Shenaz isnt offended why should anyone else be? It wouldnt offend me or my gay relative if someone joked about them because they have a sense of humor which you obviously lack…dont watch at all if it bothers you so much! Maybe if you pulled out that asian you seem to have stuck up your donkey hole you might finally develop a sense of humor too!
I still think i prefer Rama at the bar and not Jcow…she was a money hungry schemer and couldve had many opportunities to be the next Karen Woleck with some of Shelters many wealthy gentlemen customers!
Cutter did a good Kermit. I still dont understand why Blair would hire Cutter after what he and Aubrey plotted against Blairs cousin Kelly and Joey Buchanan, or is this plotline just totally 4gotten?
very funny… Vickerman for sure!
