Vanished Season Premier

Just finished watching the new series from FOX called Vanished. I thoroughly enjoyed this and was in fact more enjoyable and entertaining than I expected. Is it me or are shows getting more complex and multi directional these days ? I hadn’t heard any of the pre air hype, didn’t know what the show was about or who was in it. I’m glad I went into it fresh.

The show revolves around Sara Collins, the beautiful young wife of prominent Georgia Senator Jeffrey Collins, she has inexplicably vanished during a charity event held in her honour following the amazing work she has done for good causes. Her daughter is also missing but she is found hours later by a SWAT team at the home of her boyfriend. The first show lays the foundations and introduces us to the main characters including Gale Harold as Agent Graham Kelton.

The show is fast paced and a superb addition to the Prison Break stable, it will also benefit from a superb listing time immediately following Prison Break on Mondays. Rebecca Gayheart stars as Judy Nash the investigative reporter who stops at nothing to get to the story. Eager to move ahead she pleads with her boss to take the Collins story. John Allen Nelson plays Senator Jeffrey Collins, who is struggling to come to terms with the fact that someone has kidnapped his wife. Plenty of other cast members but you can get the full listing here at FOX.

During the episode the FBI find a positive pregnancy test belonging to Sara Collins, her parents say it’s impossible due to a medical procedure years earlier. We also find out that she went missing 12 years ago and although the story was covered up, the record remained that she was a missing …

Lee Evicted from Love Island

Good to see the British public got the voting right on Love Island last night with Lee and his ear leaving the resort until they all meet up for Sunday’s finale. It came down to him and Chris Brosnan in the end, the public deciding to vote for the cad rather than the whiner, and how he whined, day and night, night and day – sounds like a Cole Porter song, Fred Astaire I think! I digress…..

I have to admit I was a little surprised he lost to Chris, I thought the votes would have gone for someone who stirs the pot and not just goes around kissing anything that moves, I guess we’ve all had enough of the acting and immaturity he has done over the last six weeks.

It also looks as if Sophie has turned things around, especially after her 10 hour day in the workhouse with Brendan. Despite my negative posts over the last six weeks I have to give kudos to the girl, she did well and never gave up; you can’t ask for more than that. Brendan gave her great support and as both celebrities acknowledged, they couldn’t have done it without each other and half a dozen potato peelers, all broken by Sophie!

Last night also brought us the revelation that Kate Lawler has a verruca! She was only too happy to show the camera her bad foot in the beach hut and when Kelle mentioned how pleased she was that no one had a verruca on the island, it was poetic editing by the producers! Loved the line from Kielty when they went in live to the resort and mentioned verruca’s, Kelle couldn’t control her laughing while Kate held on to Brendan for dear life, deeply embarrassed! So that’s it …
