Expected Winterthorne to be good but it FAR exceeded any and all expectations! What a premiere episode – impeccable! Michael Caruso raised the bar on independent web series!
Wow, this is very interesting, love John Paul Lavoisier, and am looking forward to seeing more of him. Will definitely watch all the episodes. Keep them coming!
Amazing! I can’t wait to see Kathleen and Kristen! September 4th can’t come quick enough!
Neither can I Nancy. I want to see Martha and Kirsten in scenes together. And I want to see Kathleen cause some mischief in candy land.
I thought it was exceptionally acted by all involved. The story is very intriguing. It sort of reminded me of the long ago night time soap Bare Essence starting Genie Francis. I loved Winterthorne. Can’t wait for the next episode.
I was disappointed to watch an episode between fairytale scenery, soapy lines and odd costumes. So much pose, so little substance! I did not care about any of the characters. All of the characters seemed to me like caricatures, nothing real. I do not plan to watch the coming episode, although my favourite Kathleen Gati is in it.
I do so agree and didn’t enjoy the assault on my senses not one bit..i’m going to a corner to curl up in a ball and SMH…what did I just watch???…OMG!!!!
It was like Willy Wonka’s factory before the family died out and he was left alone..and pink hair inherits WinterThorne and becomes Willy Wonka…JUST WHY???
Loved it!!! Can’t wait for more.
It was awful, I felt bad for some of the actors on it. Totally amature. Terribly directed.

‘Dallas’ star Ken Kercheval Dead At Age 83
Sad news to report for fans of the iconic primetime soap, Dallas. Ken Kercheval, who played the thorn in J.R. Ewing’s (Larry Hagman) side, Cliff Barnes, has passed away. The actor was 83 and died at his home in Indiana on Sunday. The cause of death is under wraps. He had been previously open about being a lung cancer survivor after years of smoking.
Kercheval was on Dallas for its entire run on CBS from 1978 to 1991, and returned to the TNT reboot from 2012 to 2014 to reprise his signature role.
On Dallas, Cliff Barnes was always the perennial loser when he went toe to toe with ruthless J.R, but in the final season, Cliff beats J.R at his own game and takes over Ewing Oil. Cliff was also hopelessly in love with Sue Ellen Ewing (Linda Gray) and was the brother to Pam Barnes, played by Victoria Principal.
As for Ken’s first big acting breaks, that came on daytime soap operas when early in his career he appeared on Search for Tomorrow and How to Survive a Marriage.
Later, he appeared on episodic dramas such as Starsky & Hutch, and Crossing Jordan. His final role was in a movie, 2019’s Surviving in L.A. said to be a comedy/drama in which he plays the business manager of a former teen sitcom star who trashed her life through drug abuse and is fresh out of rehab.

George Kennedy, the Oscar-winning star of 1967’s Cool Hand Luke, which also starred Paul Newman has died at age 91, his grandson, Cory Schenkel confirmed.
Kennedy died in his sleep at his Boise, Idaho home early Sunday morning, the day of the Academy Awards. He had been in failing health ever since his wife Joan died a little over a year ago. George had been under hospice care for the past month.
In the soaps, Kennedy is most remembered for his guest stints on The Young and the Restless playing Victor Newman’s despicable father, Albert Miller. Kennedy first played the role in 2003 and then reprised it again in 2010. Victor’s relationship with his father gave Eric Braeden some of the finest material of his career as the complex Victor. Albert had abandoned his family, causing his son to be raised in an orphanage.
CBS original primetime soap Dallas also featured Kennedy as Carter McKay, one of the Ewing families bitter enemies from 1988 to 1991. Geroge also played the role in two follow-up TV movies, 1996’s Dallas: J.R. Returns and 1998’s Dallas: War of the Ewings. In addition, Kennedy appeared in several of the 70’s major disaster films including the original Airport and several sequels, as well as in Earthquake. In the 80’s, he would appear in The Naked Gun franchise of films along with Leslie Nielsen.
After the jump, watch George Kennedy as Albert on The Young and the Restless in scenes with Eric Braeden and Joshua Morrow (Nick). Then share your thoughts on the passing of this talented actor in the comment section below! (more…)
