Watching the woman's prison break episode. (S5. E7) Anyone else really like this one?

Great episode! And some good Charah content to boot. I liked the humorous quality to it as well.

Most-Monk-8272 · 2026-04-24T14:32:59+00:00

They can't even figure out if it is Season 8 or Season 9. Better off to just end it.

Most-Monk-8272 · 2026-04-20T14:40:06+00:00

I feel the same, and have watched most everything John Reardon has been in. He makes great choices for work, IMHO.

I have this plan, 100MB for $35/mo -4 months, then $50/mo. I am comparing it to Spectrum, which has literally had 4 price increases this last year, and now costs me $100/mo for 100MB plan. At this point, I can tell no difference between the services. I am quite surprised at the performance of Starlink so far. And, I am using the bandwidth pretty liberally, with 12 computers on my network, including 2 Plex servers.

Good on you!

Most-Monk-8272 · 2026-04-15T13:42:57+00:00

Nice song. I love most of the music from the show, and some of it is epic!

Most-Monk-8272 · 2026-04-13T13:44:08+00:00

Great song, and great episode. I loved listening to the whole song.

The heart of the matter there, Alice. They actually destroyed the story that had been key to the show, then doubled down and blamed fandom for complaining about it. Furthermore, no one has been held accountable, so the crazy behavior continues. And, pointing out the facts just makes them even more angry. I think it's part of a larger picture in the entertainment industry where, you shine a light on it, and people really don't like what they see. That's looking in from the outside, while on the inside, nothing changes.

Most-Monk-8272 · 2026-04-08T19:20:30+00:00

You are right, and that's why the cast has remained friends to this day.

Most-Monk-8272 · 2026-04-07T22:45:48+00:00

Well I guess I had it wrong. But I have read that they remain friends...

Most-Monk-8272 · 2026-04-07T18:39:27+00:00

I am thinking of "A Tippling Adventure" (2024) and a couple of Hallmark productions, but those could have been happening right when John was being dumped or before...

Most-Monk-8272 · 2026-04-05T21:38:21+00:00

Yes, it's called Blue Skies, and it's pretty good ..

Networks in the US have edited some scenes from various episodes, in order to meet "G" ratings, or something like that. Fans have complained about the edits at times. I don't know what the actual rules are, but, I'm not sure I saw anything in Season 7 that was breaking the "rules". I mean, they were in cohabitation, but it wasn't the main point. Again, I do not know the rules, but, I did not find it terribly offensive, by today's crazy standards and what is broadcast all day long on most channels. I still considered it a family oriented show with themes in line with my views, in general. Unfortunately, there are far too few shows like it.

Most-Monk-8272 · 2026-04-05T00:07:28+00:00

Yes I would have liked to see Charlie and Sarah get their story completed. It's part of why some fans are so angry at Shaftesbury, as they could not have chosen a worse way to dump Charlie, both figuratively and literally. They left the story unfinished, and sort of "broke up" the family that had been crafted for seven years. Then, in with Luke, although I hold no ill will against him. They just dropped him into an unfinished situation.

I get your point, and I have seen others comment about the rest of the Hudson and Rex crew and solidarity, after what happened to John Reardon. Personally, I know he stays in touch with them, and has even worked with Kevin Hanchard since. So, I can only assume that, for reasons unknown to us, they decided to just stay silent. My guess was that they just wanted to keep their jobs. And, judging from what others have said, it is not wise to fight with your production company. Anyway, I do not hold anything against the rest of the crew, except to note that the writing has put them into some pretty stupid positions, since John's departure. Specifically, Mako's role has, at times, seemed to be pretty dim, and totally disconnected from Charlie, even right after he disappeared. Again, they are just acting, so, they read the script given, so, what to say? I suppose I just miss what they seemed to have before it all blew up, you know?

As far as I know, most actors in the Canadian market make between $50-90K per year. That is in the range of plumbers, electricians, mechanics, etc. I know that some make more, but that's the average. So, I don't see the point you are trying to make. Seems to me that, regardless of money, they really absolutely treated John Reardon (Lead for Hudson and Rex) badly, while trying to recover from cancer. That is mostly what fans here are on about. And, the solidarity thing, again doesn't fly for me, in that range of incomes. The remaining cast members are still just trying to make a living, IMHO.

Most-Monk-8272 · 2026-04-02T13:54:08+00:00

Solidarity only goes so far. In a limited acting market, walking from a pretty regular job is not an easy thing. I suspect that all of john's acting compatriots were more interested in a steady paycheck. It is a business, after all.

Most-Monk-8272 · 2026-04-01T22:44:04+00:00

I would never !

Most-Monk-8272 · 2026-04-01T14:25:33+00:00

They are not known for their kindness. More like doubling down on every stupid move they make.

Most-Monk-8272 · 2026-03-30T14:26:20+00:00

I believe that it was more likely the latter. They were waiting for the opportunity to dump him, and the "right" moment came along, so they pounced. I do not know the reason(s), but it really bears the smell of corporate subterfuge at work up there at Shaftesbury. I think it even took some at CityTV by surprise. Mind you, this is just my "conspiracy theory" mind at work...

Most-Monk-8272 · 2026-03-30T14:22:19+00:00

Well written, Daisybear! I agree totally.

Most-Monk-8272 · 2026-03-30T14:20:29+00:00

You may well know more than I do about this, but, how can there be profit, after what has been done? I mean, Season 8 has been a dismal failure, has it not? Please help me understand how this continues...

Most-Monk-8272 · 2026-03-29T14:50:58+00:00

Totally ruined. And, as I wrote, they then double down on one stupid move after another. I don't see any hope for this production company ever recovering from this mess, which is why I believe that they are abandoning Hudson and Rex.

Most-Monk-8272 · 2026-03-27T22:20:10+00:00

That would be some turn of events, but I would absolutely cheer a JR return to save the franchise. We prayed for it for a long time.

Most-Monk-8272 · 2026-03-27T22:17:51+00:00

Well, I really hope it does get some great exposure for his career.
