Jessalyn Gilsig: TV Guide News

Exclusive: Nip/Tuck Diva Relocates to CSI: NY | Ausiello Report | 3/3/2008
Turns out, it was Gary Sinise's arms, not a thick slab of concrete, that caught Jessalyn Gilsig when she nosedived off her roof on Nip/Tuck last month.Sources confirm to me exclusively that Gilsig has been tapped to play a new love interest for Sinise on CSI: NY. Her character, which I first teased in last week's Ask Ausiello, is described as a sexy, professional, mid-thirties female who works in the mayor's office. Gilsig's slated to appear in at least three episodes with an option to return next season. Guess they're waiting to see how viewers take to Big Mac's new lovah. And to that I say, why wait till then? Let the pre-judging begin in the comments section below! read more
Episode Recap: "Magda & Jeff" | Nip/Tuck | 1/23/2008
I'm going to cut to the chase and say that this was one of my very least favorite episodes since the series began, but that ending was one of the best ever. How's that for running the gamut? Let's start with that ending: Ding-dong the witch is dead! Just when I thought I was happy to see Gina back because I thought she changed her wicked ways, here she was being more sadly pathetic than ever. So pathetic that I grimaced every time she was on screen after that scene when she paid the Gina-look-alike (Ali Raymer) to have sex with Christian while she watched...and then begged Christian to "Kiss me!" Then when she morphed further into Alex Forrest and lied by manipulating Julia into thinking Christian could be HIV positive because she was having sex with him, I cringed even more. I wanted the bee-yotch to get punished for her craziness. I was so glad to see Christian hand her the restraining order towards the very end. How many of you were thinking (or perhaps screaming): "No way! He... read more
Exclusive: Nip/Tuck's Dead Diva Speaks! | Ausiello Report | 1/23/2008
WARNING: Stop reading if you haven't seen last night's Nip/Tuck! Talk about going out with a bang. On last night's Nip/Tuck, Christian's unhinged, sex-addicted ex-lover Gina plummeted to her death while the two were mid-coitus on her apartment building's roof. Luckily, Jessalyn Gilsig is alive and well and ready to dish about her character's bizarre (even by Nip/Tuck's freakish standards) swan song.What was your reaction when you found out how you were being killed off?Jessalyn Gilsig: I thought it was so brilliant. And so sad. She finally expressed [her true feelings] to Christian and then she falls off the building. [Laughs] What was it like shooting the scene?Gilsig: We were in downtown L.A. and it was cold. The stunt girl did one take before me, and it looked so [funny] when she fell off the edge of the building that I burst into hysterics. I think I might've ruined the take. They set it up so perfectly; it was so unexpected. It was so bizarre. Did series creator Ryan Murphy... read more
Episode Recap: "Rachel Ben Natan" | Nip/Tuck | 1/16/2008
After a four-week break, it was nice to revisit the adventures of our favorite fantastically plastic duo. Too bad we still don't know what Eden put in that dang fruitcake four weeks ago. All we know is that it gives Julia spontaneous nosebleeds, which just makes Christian pout about being deprived of sex with his best friend's ex. Speaking of Eden, how lovely to have a completely Eden-free episode! Sure, the skank returns next week, but it was pleasant to get through an entire hour without her. Four characters returned that I enjoy: Dawn Budge (Rosie O'Donnell), Freddie (Oliver Platt), Aidan (Bradley Cooper) and, after a long time away, Gina (Jessalyn Gilsig). I'll get to Gina's return later.Ever since we first met Freddie, it was beyond apparent that he was gay. Then when Freddie and Dawn started dating, besides thinking "Huh?," I was immediately reminded of Dana Carvey's character on SNL: "Lyle, The Effeminate Heterosexual." So leave it to Dawn to budge it out of him after seeing... read more
Critic's Notebook: Strike — and Life — Goes On | Roush Dispatch | 11/12/2007
How’s this for irony? All last week, trying not to get too depressed about what a protracted writers’ strike might mean for the TV season and the industry at large, I was secretly looking forward to a weekend getaway: catching former Alias star Jennifer Garner’s Broadway debut in a revival of Cyrano, opposite Kevin Kline and Rescue Me’s Daniel Sunjata. Unfortunately, my tickets were for Saturday night, by which time the stagehands’ union had initiated their own sudden walkout and work stoppage.At this rate, I might actually finish the book I’ve been reading since mid-October.(Thankfully, I was lucky enough to catch Aaron Sorkin's new play, The Farnsworth Invention, before the strike. It was scheduled to have its official opening night later this week, but when it reopens, I predict a healthy run for this fascinating, entertaining play recounting the birth of television.)While consumers of TV, movies and even theater wait for unions and producers to... read more
