The Series Description, Courtesy of CBS:
“Hawaii Five-O is a contemporary take on the classic series about an elite federalized task force whose mission is to wipe out the crime that washes up on the islands’ sun-drenched beaches. Detective Steve McGarrett, a decorated Naval officer turned cop, returned to Oahu after Hawaii’s former governor persuaded him to head up the new team: his rules, no red tape and full blanket authority to hunt down the biggest “game” in town.
Joining McGarrett are Detective Danny “Danno” Williams, a relocated ex-New Jersey cop who is committed to keeping the islands safe for his children; Captain Lou Grover, who formerly headed Hawaii’s SWAT unit; Jerry Ortega, the islands’ local conspiracy theorist; Tani Rey, a bold, recent police academy graduate; Junior Reigns, a former SEAL who comes to McGarrett looking for a job, Adam Noshimuri, a friend with old ties to a deadly crime family and Quinn Liu, a former Staff Sergeant with Army CID who was recently demoted for insubordination.
Helping them is Kamekona, a local entrepreneur who has his pulse on the Island; Sgt. Duke Lukela, a trusted member of the HPD; and medical examiner Dr. Noelani Cunha. The state’s brash Five-0 unit, who may spar and jest among themselves, remain determined to eliminate the seedy elements from the 50th state.”
Season two of Hulu’s original horror series Castle Rock explores the backstory of one of Stephen King’s most iconic villains: Annie Wilkes. Kathy Bates won an Oscar for portraying the obsessed fan in the 1990 film adaptation of King’s Misery. Lizzy Caplan takes on a younger version of the character in season two of Castle Rock, debuting on October 23, 2019.
Caplan and her onscreen daughter Elsie Fisher sat down for interviews at the 2019 New York Comic Con. Caplan and Fisher dived into their characters, Stephen King’s Misery, and what happens when Annie Wilkes makes a stop in Castle Rock.
What can tell us about your characters in general in season two?
Lizzy Caplan: “Annie Wilkes is one of Stephen King’s better-known villains played, of course, by the iconic queen Kathy Bates who nailed it. For me, I was a huge fan of the movie well before this came along. But what I personally love so much about that character is that she isn’t just this evil woman. She’s kind of fun and charming and strange and funny and child-like and warm. She has a good bedside manner. She’s many, many things. I actually think that’s what makes her the scariest of villains.”
Elsie Fisher: “Yeah, and I’m her daughter. I play Joy Wilkes, her daughter. I think Joy grew up with Annie and is loved by her very deeply. Castle Rock does something to people, for sure. But, also, Joy’s going through puberty and she’s a teenager. She’s trying to discover who she is. I don’t think Annie likes letting things go.”
Lizzy Caplan: “Literally and figuratively!”
You don’t view her as evil though, right?
Lizzy Caplan: “No.”
Elsie Fisher: “I don’t either.”
Lizzy Caplan: “I mean, I really don’t think that’s my job to judge her as this kind of person. It’s my job to figure out why she thinks the decisions that she makes are the right decisions and why she is, in her own mind, the hero or the only moral person in the room.”
Elsie Fisher: “I’m in the middle of re-reading Misery right now and I don’t know. Knowing Castle Rock and viewing her through a lens of sympathy, it’s like she’s really not like… She does awful things but she’s not a bad person.”
Lizzy Caplan: (Laughing) “Munchausen or Stockholm.”

Did you rewatch Kathy Bates’ performance?
Lizzy Caplan: “I did. I did. It’s strange. I think I had my first moment of, ‘Oh god, maybe I should have done something different,’ when we were shooting episode 10. It was too late.”
Elsie Fisher: “Slightly.”
Lizzy Caplan: “Yeah. I was a fan of the first season of the show and a massive Misery fan. I feel like, obviously, I’m doing something that’s my own interpretation of a character that is seared into all of our brains by Kathy Bates. I think getting too far away from that I would have been bummed as a viewer. I want this Annie to feel like she could potentially one day become that Annie.”
Can you talk about how sometimes when Annie’s trying to protect the people she loves, she makes bad decisions?
Lizzy Caplan: “Yeah, that’s pretty much Annie’s driving force. Her intentions are on paper kind of good. She wants to protect her daughter. It’s just how she goes about doing it and what she perceives as a threat is not always what others might perceive as a threat.”
And Joy also tries to protect her mom.
Elsie Fisher: “Yeah. I think when you want to protect someone you love, you’re often put into situations that could be very… Like, there is no right answer so you just have to do whatever your instincts tell you to do. But, I mean, hopefully you can walk away from bad situations and learn love and grow from it.”
What do you find in the horror genre that you can’t really do anywhere else?
Lizzy Caplan: “That’s a good question. I feel like horror and period pieces are the two genres that can sneak in really current social commentary and dress it up as something else so you get your message through. Like, Get Out, Us…there’s all of these examples of this. And so, I think it’s really special in that way.
I have to admit until I met my husband I kind of dismissed the genre. He schooled me and now I’m a massive fan. I really get it. I think it’s kind of the most exciting genre right now.”
Elsie Fisher: “I have to agree. The genre is very versatile. You can do so much with it.”
Lizzy Caplan: “It’s like you have your fun sort of slasher ones which aren’t necessarily saying anything, but then movies like Hereditary you walk out and if you really think about it it’s like inherited trauma… The Babadook, like mental illness. It’s the smartest way to say something.”
Elsie Fisher: “And invoke an emotional reaction.”
Lizzy Caplan: “Amen.”
Do you have a favorite moment in season two between the two of you that you’re really proud of as actors?
Elsie Fisher: “I have a lot of favorites.”
Lizzy Caplan: “I do, too.”
Elsie Fisher: “The finale.”
Lizzy Caplan: “Yeah. We were really in it for the finale, big time. That, and also the first day of shooting which was us singing together in the car. That was really fun.”
Elsie Fisher: “I know. That was a great way to start.”
Lizzy Caplan: “It really was. We were strangers and you were only 11.”
Elsie Fisher: (Laughing) “And now I’m 12.”
It doesn’t seem like you bonded at all.
Lizzy Caplan: (Rolling her eyes) “No. Child actors, am I right?”
How did you develop that mother and daughter bond?
Lizzy Caplan: “We just got really lucky. We genuinely really dig each other. You never know. Whether it’s a mother/daughter relationship or you have to have a romantic relationship, you don’t know if you’re going to vibe or not.”
Will we get the backstory about Annie’s husband?
Lizzy Caplan: “Oh, you mean the husband that they talk about in Misery? We don’t talk about that. That happens I guess somewhere between this and then. I don’t know who would marry her.”
Annie is so set in her ways. How does she react to the crazy events in town?
Lizzy Caplan: “I think this is one of the more complicated things. If I were to think of creating a show like this, I would give up after my first brainstorming session because it seems really complicated to try to have an unreliable narrator/protagonist like Annie who’s struggling with what is real and what isn’t on her best day and then you put her in a situation where actually insane stuff happens that a person who’s totally sound of mind would also be questioning their sanity. There’s so many layers to that and that’s what our season’s kind of doing, hopefully well.”
Is that inching her toward the Kathy Bates version of Annie?
Lizzy Caplan: “Well, you see in the trailer that she is medicating herself. I’m speculating but I think it’s safe to say that Kathy Bates’ Annie – the Misery Annie – is no longer doing that.”
Do we find out why she developed this fascination for Paul Sheldon and Misery Chastain?
Lizzy Caplan: (Smiling) “Maybe.”
How much did you know about your characters’ journeys before you took the roles? Did they tell you everything or did you learn it as you were going through the season?
Elsie Fisher: “I had a phone call with Dustin (Thomason) before I took the role. He kind of went over the over-arching story, although there were many surprises along the way for sure. But, like, I don’t know. I never had a clear path in mind for Joy for where she was going to go and what happened to her along the way. It was just figuring it out per episode and taking it scene by scene.”
Lizzy Caplan: “I knew how the first handful of episodes were going to go and kind of the main goal of Annie Wilkes. As far as specifics, it’s a leap of faith to do a television show. It’s really rare to get all of your scripts before the end.”
Would you prefer to know more or do you like being surprised?
Lizzy Caplan: “I do think about having the luxury of having all 10 scripts in front of you and how kind of wonderful that would be.”
Elsie Fisher: “You could do more intentional stuff.”
Lizzy Caplan: “Totally. Because the way it’s usually done, we maybe know the first four or five episodes and then you have no idea what’s coming. I think it’s exciting. It’s more exciting to read those scripts, but I think it’s inevitable to think, ‘Oh, if I could just go back to this scene…’ But, it’s just the nature of TV.
I’ve done a lot of TV shows now and kind of used to it. You get that one moment when you kind of feel like a viewer of the show when you get your first new script and get to see where your character’s going.”
The CW’s Legacies season two episode two found Hope reintroducing herself to Landon and Alaric, neither of whom remembered they’d ever met before. However, by the end of the episode an emotional Hope let Alaric in on the truth. And episode three’s teaser and plot description hint at the return of the attraction between Hope and Landon.
Season two episode three was directed by Michael Allowitz from a script by Brett Matthews and Adam Higgs. “You Remind Me of Someone I Used to Know” will air on October 24, 2019.
Legacies stars Danielle Rose Russell as Hope Mikaelson, Jenny Boyd as Lizzie Saltzman, Kaylee Bryant as Josie Saltzman, and Quincy Fouse as MG. Aria Shahghasemi is Landon Kirby, Peyton Alex Smith is Rafael Waithe, and Matt Davis is Alaric Saltzman.
“You Remind Me of Someone I Used to Know” Plot – THE SALVATORE SCHOOL VS MYSTIC FALLS HIGH — As the Salvatore School prepares for its annual football game against Mystic Falls High, the latest monster to arrive in Mystic Falls sets its eyes on one of the students. Landon (Shahghasemi) and Josie’s (Bryant) relationship is put to the test when a player from the opposing team catches his eye.
Elsewhere, Lizzie (Boyd) enlists MG’s (Fouse) help learning more about Sebastian (guest star Thomas Doherty), and Alaric (Davis) goes head to head with Professor Vardemus (guest star Alexis Denisof).
The Season 2 Plot:
Last season, viewers were thrilled to tap into a whole new passion for The Vampire Diaries / The Originals universe, when the third installment in the franchise launched with Legacies. Set in the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young and Gifted, Legacies told the story of the next generation of supernatural beings as they learn what it means to be special in a world that may never understand. Typically a school for vampires like MG (Fouse), werewolves like Rafael (Smith) and witches like twins Lizzie (Boyd) and Josie Saltzman (Bryant), the kids and their beloved headmaster Dr. Alaric Saltzman (Davis) were stunned to come face to face with a series of monster and creatures they had only ever heard of in myth and lore. A dragon. A gargoyle. The Headless Horseman.
The evil behind the real-life resurrection of these formerly fictional beings proved to have a horrifying connection to the school’s newest student, Landon Kirby (Shahghasemi). This led his first and only love, Hope Mikaelson (Russell), the school’s shining star, to sacrifice her place at the school — and in the world — to protect Landon from a terrible fate.
Season two will show us a world without Hope Mikaelson and all the chaos that goes along with it. All the while, Hope will be trying to find her way back to the school she has learned to call home and the friends she has learned to love like family. It will be filled with new monsters and more romantic and emotional surprises than ever.
In a rare occasion for The CW’s Supernatural, an episode’s end carried over exactly to the beginning of the next as Season 15 episode two – “Raising Hell” – was a continuation from the premiere. We picked up where we left off as Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Castiel (Misha Collins) discuss how they’re supposed to tackle the issue of keeping all of the townsfolk in Harlan, Kansas in one place as the people begin getting restless.
They’re unable to avoid letting slip a few people, and these guys don’t get a particularly pretty end as the ghosts on the other side of the barrier possess them to use them as hostages to get the heroes to put off the warding around the town. Oh, and the leader of the ghosts is Francis Tumblety – you might know him as Jack the Ripper. However, easily the most uncomfortable point of the episode arrived in the form of Rowena (Ruth Connell) and the returning Arthur Ketch (David Haydn-Jones), both of whom have a strange sexually-charged attraction the moment they set eyes on each other.
Rowena’s been summoned to make a soul bomb, much like the one she’d made in Season 11, in order to trap the ghosts into it. Ketch proves his usefulness by bringing in guns that use iron flakes that don’t harm the possessed victim.
We then get our customary ‘Dean Winchester is a total jerk’ moment when Castiel approaches him to apologize for not warning them about Jack, which eventually led to Mary’s death and over to now where they stood. However, Dean (Jensen Ackles) blows off Castiel’s apologies by saying he doesn’t care about him, or anything for that matter, because Chuck made everything out to be immaterial; whatever he made was a lie. Castiel argues the relationship they had was never a lie, but Dean ditches him to sulk some more. He then accompanies Ketch to investigate the disappearance of two hunters, when our very own former prophet Kevin Tran (Osric Chau) shows up to save Dean and Ketch from ghosts.
It turns out Chuck’s been a lying jerk longer than we thought, and he’d never sent Kevin to Heaven way back in Season 11 as we’d thought; instead, Kevin only just escaped Hell. Dean’s plan of using Kevin to stall the other ghosts’ plan doesn’t work, so he and Sam have to confront Jack the Ripper’s ghost to save Kevin from being devoured by him. While they originally believe their plan to ambush the ghosts with Rowena’s soul bomb worked, it turns out Ketch had been possessed this whole time. Dean thinks fast and shoots him with iron bullets, allowing Rowena to capture all the ghosts.
Still, this was far from a victory as Ketch is sent to the hospital, and there are millions of souls that keep coming out and will eventually get past the warding. Plus, poor Kevin is now trapped seemingly forever because Belphagor (Alexander Calvert) points out that any soul that has been to Hell isn’t allowed in Heaven (Bobby and John were exceptions because God liked the Winchesters back then), so Kevin decides to walk the Earth because the alternative is to go back to Hell.
Kevin bids the Winchesters farewell, filled with heartfelt sentiment and even an “I love you” before he fades away – we might have seen the last of this prophet on the show, who knows? In the meantime, Sam still holds some optimism while Dean wonders how they’re supposed to keep all the other souls at bay.
Over on the B-story, we have the return of Amara (Emily Swallow) who’s enjoying Reno way too much, before Chuck pays her a visit. It’s revealed that the shot Sam took on Chuck really did work, and Chuck isn’t doing well at all. He needs his big sister’s help, but Amara is far from welcoming. It’s also revealed that Chuck and Amara’s retreat didn’t have the positive result we’d thought, and Amara has come to realize Chuck will always be the narcissistic jerk who had locked her away. So, she decides not to heal him and abandons Chuck to be left alone, now with his powers significantly diminished. Finally, it appears as if Chuck and Sam have some sort of a connection now, as both of them feel the pain in the wound at the same time. If the past is any indication, this won’t lead to anything good for Sam in the long run.

Jenny’s even got a bit of divine power in her corner, as Jesus (Nanjiani) regularly appears to her while she waits tables at neighborhood restaurant The Last Supper. In the end, the Harts may not have much, but they may just have everything they need.”
