Hugh Dillon on Degrassi Next Gen!
My step-dad's in the hospital. Again. I took him to two doctor appointments recently, one this past Tuesday, and one last week. I have to take him to them because my mom just isn't strong enough to go with him and do all the walking from place to place (parking lot to hospital to elevators etc.). They think it's a GI bleed. They're not sure. Or could be his prostate. Sigh.
I was channel surfing last night while procrastinating studying nursing care of people on mechanical ventilation. And I ran across the first Degrassi: the Next Generation ep with Hugh Dillon ("When Doves Cry") ! It was shown in one long episode (one hour). Hugh was fucking scary in this ep. I love Hugh, but I didn't like his character in this ep. Actually (sadly), he reminded me of my own father way back when. Rage and love so intermingled, you never know what to expect.
I'm interested to see if his character becomes "kinder and gentler" in the episode "Tears Are Not Enough." It's going to be shown in both parts (one hour) on Mon. 7/24/06 from 9-10pm Central (Daylight Savings) Time (see http://www.the-n.com/ntv/schedule.php?pv_date=07%2F24%2F2006&ipv_timeZone=2 )
Tears Are Not Enough Part 1 will be shown (alone, 1/2 hour) at 1:30am Central on Thurs. 7/20/06 (see http://www.the-n.com/ntv/schedule.php?ipv_timeZone=2&pv_date=07/18/2006 )
Their schedule stops (so far) at 7/27/06, so I couldn't look beyond that.

no subject
You definitely do NOT want to watch the rest of the Hugh arc in this case. In the 2nd ep I think he freaks out on Craig and Craig runs away and ends up going to live with Joey. Crazy Dad comes back in the season finale, where he tries to make up with his son and is then killed in, I think, a car accident. (You see I haven't watched that either.)
My grandfather had a carving knife like taht and it was SO bizarre to watch Hugh with something like that. I am very sad it brought up bad memories for you!
The new movie he's doing with Bruce ought to be a non-psycho-killer type, at least - I think he plays the gay filmmaking boyfriend of one of th emovie's main characters.
the hair, the new movie
I'm looking forward to Gay Like Me. Since Michael Madsen's in it, at least there's hope for a wide release in theaters. I hope. ('Course, Madsen was in Bloodrayne... what a STUPID movie. I couldn't believe Ben Kingsley and Geraldine Chaplin -- respected thespians! -- were in it! so awful. Good video game, though.)\
Well, I guess I will skip the next 2 D:NG Hugh eps. Or maybe watch with the sound off while I'm studying. Thanks for the headsup...
