December 4, 2014 Kellie Freeze

Where do your loyalties lie — with the people who share your genetics or the people with whom you’ve shared your life? Thus asks SundanceTV’s gripping two-night miniseries One Child, in which a Chinese-born woman goes on a dangerous journey of discovery when she gets a plea for help from half a world away. Mei Ashley (Katie Leung) is a promising British university student and the beloved adopted daughter of academics (Elizabeth Perkins and Donald Sumpter).

Lifetime’s ‘The Red Tent’ Is Beautiful and Timeless

December 4, 2014 Kellie Freeze

When author Anita Diamant’s novel The Red Tent was published, readers praised the book for giving a voice to women who had been all but ignored in ancient and sacred texts. The bestseller has become a book club favorite because of its cross-generational appeal and frank exploration of the lives of women — especially concerning ancient fertility and birthing rituals. Now Lifetime gives history’s forgotten women a face in the four-hour, two-night miniseries The Red Tent by re-envisioning the lives of biblical women whose actual histories have been lost to the sands of time. In The Red Tent, the bond […]

The Coworkers’ Guide To Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce

December 4, 2014 Lori Acken

Is it cool if the missus is the breadwinner? He said: Stay-at-home dads are awesome. Seriously dudes, support your spouse’s success and let her bring home the bacon (mmmm, bacon!). Plus, when people see me out with my boys at 2pm on a Tuesday, they exalt me. She said: Stay-at-home dads ARE awesome. Stay-at-home moms are awesome. Financial stability and good benefits are the awesome-est. Resentment in either direction? Not awesome. Is a strictly e-affair still an affair? He said: Yeah, it is. Even if you never physically see or touch the person you’re texting or Skyping, you’re still betraying […]

What’s next for Pepper? Interview with American Horror Story’s Naomi Grossman

December 3, 2014 Barb Oates

We love Pepper on American Horror Story. Naomi Grossman holds the distinguished honor of being the first character continuation in Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story anthology series, portraying the gremlin-like Pepper in both Asylum and Freak Show. Pepper will be the focus of the upcoming 10th episode of AHS: Freak Show, “Orphans,” (airing Dec. 17) where we’ll get a better understanding on where she came from and how she got to Briarcliff Manor. “Ryan has hinted that Freak Show is Pepper’s origin story, and I think it’s fair to assume he means more than just stacking chairs and manicuring nails,” […]

The Vampire Diaries Season 6 Episode 8 Recap: Friendsgiving

November 21, 2014 StayTuned Staff

On this week’s The Vampire Diaries, we start by going back into time to the specific date of May 9, 1994. This is the night that Kai went on a killing spree involving four members of his family. In the short flashback, we see Kai trying to kill a young Jo — so it looks like I was right on the two being brother and sister. In fact, they’re twins — and not the only set of twins in the family. As Kai is running after Jo, whom he just stabbed, she is trying to hide the other twins in […]

Jane the Virgin Episode 6 Recap: Telenovela Love

November 18, 2014 StayTuned Staff

On “Chapter 5” of Jane the Virgin, we start off by going back in time to Jane’s 21st birthday party. It’s a normal 21st birthday party where the birthday girl and her guests are getting hammered — although in this party, the birthday girl’s mother is getting drunk too. There’s a knock at the door and it’s a young Michael in his cop uniform. He and Jane share what’s called a “significant encounter” in telenovelas, which is the first encounter between two people who are meant to be together. This seems like a very emotional scene but Jane is plastered […]
