First up is Danny Pino (Scotty Valens in CC). Back at the end of June KM UK pretty much led the media world in reporting on Danny joining the Netflix sitcom One Day At A Time. We’ve recently seen photographic evidence of Danny’s involvement from the upcoming 3rd season, which débuts on the 8th of February (it’s an all-on-the-same-day drop of episodes). Danny is starring as the brother of the main character, played by Justina Machado (Six Feet Under, Cold Case episode ‘The Good Death’), in a recurring role. Looks like the beautiful India de Beaufort (Kröd Mändoon And The Flaming Sword Of Fire, I just wanted to write that!) is also joining the cast for a few episodes as a ‘love interest’. Not for Danny’s Tito, sadly for Danny. Cleverly, the lucky man Avery is going to be involved with is a character played by the man lucky enough to be India’s real-life husband. How did they think of that? Both Stephanie Beatriz and Melissa Fumero from Brooklyn Nine-Nine are also set to guest star, as well as Gloria Estefan. In March we first reported (as opposed to reported first) that John Finn (John Stillman in CC) had filmed a role in a pilot for a new drama series called The Enemy Within. The show was picked up to series a couple of months later. One of the released publicity photos included John. It has now been announced that NBC has planned the show for a ‘mid-season’ launch in late February. Based on what happened to Reverie this year on the same network, maybe that should be taken with a pinch of salt. Of course this year the Winter Olympics is not intruding on the schedules. We don’t yet know of John will recur beyond the pilot, or even if his character has even remained in what will become the first episode. Now on to the look back to CCCC-ups in 2018.
The above picture seemed to encapsulate the annual KM UK Xmas message for 2018. The ladies of our year in a party mood. Here is KM UK’s quick look back at 2018.
By this stage in the history of the Cold Case squad, Lilly and co. have clearly gained a reputation for looking into old cases. A man speaks to Lilly about a murder he claims he committed 14 years previously. A lot of cop shows like their recurring characters. Normally they are serial killers that keep cropping up through-out a season, giving the detectives involved another case to solve and a few more clues to their identity. Personally I find these drawn out story lines rather tedious. They are made even worse when, at the last moment, the killer gets away once again, free to return at some random time in future. In the case of Sherry Darlin’, the killer didn’t get away, and the man that held himself responsible (and partly was) was jailed. Case closed? Yes, but that man actually came back to Lilly, whilst still in jail, having learned to trust her, to help solve another case in a future episode. It is nice when shows bring back characters like that. This photo update, the latest in our series going back through the series, is just two new promo images (see above) from this episode. Be a darlin’ and check them out in the KM UK Gallery.
There is always a concern with these updates that things will be too quiet so there will be nothing to say. Luckily, with a number of people to talk about, and one of them being Tracie Thoms, there is always something. Nearly. John Finn (John Stillman in CC) has featured a more in recent months than is usual. His joining the hit drama series The Walking Dead in a recurring role was much of it. Just this week the show ended the first half of season 9. It will rise from the dead (see what I did there?) with part two in February 2019. The new news regarding John is a role in a new mini-series about the controversial (I think that’s the way we have to phrase these things) TV mogul Roger Ailes. He was the, lets say, man behind the, what we’ll call, TV channel Fox News. He had a clear vision for what the channel should do and how to do it. He succeeded. Ailes became headline news himself with allegations about his behaviour towards female staff members, including the on-screen talent such as Gretchen Carlson. Ailes died in 2017, a year after resigning because of the allegations. There is currently a movie in the works about Ailes starring John Lithgow, Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, and Margot Robbie. The project our John is involved in, however, is an 8-part series for the Showtime network called The Loudest Voice In Room. In this one Russell Crowe (Gladiator) is Ailes and co-star Naomi Watts (King Kong) is Carlson. John is listed as a ‘Jack Welch’. It is not clear who that is to me, but the most prominent person, and most likely candidate, is the former CEO of the massive General Electric corporation. He was at the top of the company for 20 years from 1981 so would definitely have a contemporary of Ailes. Seth McFarlane (Family Guy) and Sienna Miller (Layer Cake) are also set to co-star. Release is expected next year sometime. You could normally create a magazine called ‘What Tracie Did This Month’ or ‘Thoms Monthly’ and rarely be stuck for content. This month’s edition would be lacking a little in original content so instead you’d run a lengthy feature about the movie of the musical Rent. It was the film’s 13th anniversary this month and Tracie Thoms (Kat Miller in CC) no doubt enjoyed the fans reminders of that. Apart from the though that it was thirteen years ago! Stepping up to the plate to help out with some extra count is one of less regular guests and outlier in the whole Cold Case cast theme. According to a news site called SneakPeek, the Cold Case producer/writer Veena Sud is set to direct a remake of the Alfred Hitchcock movie Suspicion. Apparently Veena is also adapting the screenplay herself. |

A slight change to our normal monthly round-up this time. As well as a quick update on the latest news, this post will be the traditional end of year recap of the year’s events. Read on for the December 2018 edition of the KM UK CCCC-up, covering news on the main Cold Case cast other than Kathryn.
Some of you got through Thanksgiving (I guess we all survived that). New traditions Black Friday and Cyber Monday have gone passed to. Can you deal with November’s CCCC-up? Let’s see what happening in the careers of the Cold Case cast (and occasionally crew) that aren’t Kathryn.
