#Ripley Lennox

[pinkelotjeart]

if you haven't seen the new magnus protocol things, go here

so I know we are all freaking out about the posibility of Jon and Martin being back, and someone having the last name Bouchard, BUT WHAT IS CELIA DOING HERE?

Lowri Ann Davies has voiced a minor character before, called Lynne Hammond in mag 100, she then reapears with a new name, Celia in season 5 (same character, just a different name.) So- HUH, what is she doing here?

Thats the part that interests me the most.

Celebrating International Women's Day this year, once again I'm giving a shout-out to some of the amazing ladies, both real and fictional, that I really admire, both new on the scene and since my formative years. They all live rent free in my head and I think they're awesome!

COURTNEY LaPLANTE, the incredible frontwoman from up-and-coming new metalcore band Spiritbox, who are ALL pretty amazing, but she is in a whole different league. The way she can switch from beautifully husky, gently angelic clean vocals to bloody terrifying feral demon dirty vocals AND BACK at the drop of a hat is truly astounding ...

VIOLA DAVIS, one of my favourite actresses working in Hollywood today, an undeniable queen and now a bonafide BADASS too thanks to her recent starring role as Naniska, the General of the Agojie, the legendary Dahomie Amazons, in The Woman King. These days she's PROBABLY best known as THE BADDEST BITCH in all of the DCEU, ARGUS director Amanda Waller, but these are just two of a whole CAREER of incredible performances for which she's rightly become a true A-lister ...

ELLEN RIPLEY, as played by the equally awesome Sigourney Weaver in the Alien movies. Quite simply THE GREATEST cinematic female lead protagonist OF ALL TIME, Ripley is about as definitive as strong female lead protgnonists get, the scourge of terrifying hostile aliens throughout the galaxy ...

POWER, from the acclaimed new anime series Chainsaw Man. I know, I know, she could SO EASILY have just been another classic teenage boy's wet dream anime girl, but half-demon fiend Power, like many of the show's female characters, is definitely a significant step away from the cliched norms, a total, undeniable force of (super)nature, unapologetic deluded self-promoter and thoroughly adorable chaos gremlin, who's quickly becoming one of my very favourite anime characters.

RINKO KIKUCHI, probably my VERY FAVOURITE Japanese actress EVER, thanks in no small part to her DEFINITIVE turn as Jaeger pilot Mako Mori in Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim, although I first discovered her as gloriously idiosyncratic demolitions expert Bang Bang in Rian Johnson's criminally overlooked The Brothers Bloom. Also rightly known for her acclaimed turn in Babel, we most recently saw her in typically fine form in Michael Mann's agreeably edgy new true crime series Tokyo Vice ...

KRISTEN STEWART. Yeah, I know, some folk are STILL likely to be rolling their eyes at this choice, but ever since Panic Room I've ALWAYS thought she was something special, EVEN when she was doing Twilight. Okay, so it's taken her A LONG TIME to shake the godawful spectre of Bella Swan, but she's DEFINITELY pulled it off by now, playing some truly AMAZING characters in a bunch of really great movies, most notably Underwater (see above), the criminally maligned and unjustly ignored Charlie's Angels reboot and her incredible recent turn as the late Diana, Princes of Wales, in Spencer.

DELENN, as played by Mira Furlan (Lost), the ambassador of the alien race, the Minbari, in one of my very favourite TV shows of all time, Babylon 5. From humble (albeit also EXTREMELY mysterious) beginnings, Delenn went on to (rightly) become THE main female lead in the show, carrying the weight of one hell of a sprawling, epic sci-fi saga plot on her more-than-able shoulders.

KATY O'BRIAN. Basicallythe core inspiration (at least in a roundabout way) for the lead character in my ongoing online fantasy novel series Never Split the Party, Kesla Shoon, Katy is 100% what I love in a genuine physically powerful woman - tough as nails, sexy as hell and, paradoxically, an absolute sweetheart. I first stumbled across her as George, the very best character in Syfy's guilty pleasure TV series Z Nation, but she's finally REALLY getting the attention she's long deserved, already earning fast fan-favourite status as Jentorra in Ant Man & the Wasp: Quantumania.

ZOE SALDANA. Ever since she started to come up in the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, she's been steadily growing herself one hell of a reputation playing a succession of strong, frequently badass women in cinema, most notably in The Losers, James Cameron's Avatar movies and OF COURSE as Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy.

SOFIA BOUTELLA. Ever since I first saw her busting some truly incredible moves in those glorious "Keep Up" Nike ads from the mid 00s, I have always been SUCH a big fan of this incredible dancer-turned-actress. She first REALLY captured our attention in the first Kingsman movie, but she's shone ever brighter since in the likes of Star Trek Beyond, Atomic Blonde, Climax and Hotel Artemis. Personally I CANNOT WAIT to see what she does with THE LEAD ROLE in Zack Snyder's incoming new sci-fi epic Rebel Moon ...

ALISON MOYET. One of my favourite female vocalists when I was growing up, I recently rediscovered her music when I started one of my music fan deep-dives through her entire back catalogue, and I'm absolutely LOVING IT. Starting out in the frustratingly short-lived early 80s electro pop group Yazoo with Erasure's Vince Clarke, she truly came to fame with her dynamite solo debut album Alf, as well as a killer cover of That Ole Devil Called love, but she's been going strong ever since thanks to one of the greatest voices around.

ANNIE LENNOX, formerly of The Tourists and The Eurythmics. Another one of the 80s all-time great frontwomen, Annie is a statuesque Scottish goddess who is rightly best known for her SECOND tour of duty with multi-talented musician Dave Stewart, but went on to have an equally astounding career as a solo singer-songwriter with a string of masterful records from the 90s right up to the present. Add to that her undeniable ICON status in the LGBTQIA+ community and you've got a bonafide androgynous goddess on your hands ...

GRACE JONES. Ever since she played Zula in Conan the Destroyer, Mayday in A View to a Kill and one seriously STRANGE vampire in Vamp, I've been a fan of this Jamaican model/actress/singer and undeniable fashion ICON. She continues to be a wonderfully weird and truly unique individual with her own unapologetically challenging style to this very day, and I love her for it.

DEBORAH CHOW. A fantastic up-and-coming Canadian filmmaker, who made a modest splash with her feature film The High Cost of Living before cutting her teeth on a series of impressive TV directing gigs on the likes of Copper, Reign and Mr Robot before truly coming into her own on The Mandalorian, which directly led to her helming THE ENTIRETY of 2022's rightly acclaimed Obi Wan Kenobi series. I'm really looking forward to whatever she does next.

CHARLIZE THERON. If there's one actress I've become a fan of mainly through her playing GENUINELY UNSTOPPABLE kickass women, it's Ms. Theron. The South African-born actress looks ABSOLUTELY AMAZING when she's stalking down a catwalk in her Dior ads, but as far as I'm concerned she looks HER VERY BEST when she's taking roomfuls of men apart with her bare hands in Atomic Blonde or a big fucking axe in The Old Guard, which will soon get a sequel I for one CANNOT WAIT FOR ...

MARISHA RAY, ASHLEY JOHNSON & LAURA BAILEY, the Ladies of Critical Role. Sure, there have been other women who've come and gone in a variety of excellent guest slot roles through the years the live-play TTRPG webcast series has been going (from Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, Ashly Burch, Sumalee Montano, Mica Burton and Aimee Carrero to, of course, the legendary Aabria Iyengar), but these three have always been the core, the heart and the undeniable BACKBONE of this amazing ongoing D&D adventure, and long may they all continue to reign ...

daniel nodded. he was glad that he could help valerie out, without her losing her job. before it was too late and they lost a patient. she was such a sweet, smart girl with so much potential. they just had to help her help herself. ❛ have you seen her work with any of the other attendings? like doctor halstead, frost, ripley or either of the doctor hadler's? she obviously can't be with you every second. as she needs to be well rounded in all specialties. ❜

he knew that lennox would fire her immediately if she knew this was happening. ❛ now that we have the connection, car accidents . . . we can say it is all mental. I will obviously keep working with her in my office but you can definitely add her back to your team. ❜

❛ and I really think we need to check up on her when she isn't here. also invite her over to your house if you have friends over. make her feel included. because we are a family, she just hasn't realized it yet because she is so guarded. ❜

❛ and I do not doubt that though. maybe the student will become the teacher. she did tell me that she gave you a crash course on coffee. ❜ daniel chuckled.

Tyler has no issues bringing her back into the fold, even if it's a slow transition from where she was. After all, she's got her things to work on but if she wants to be a doctor in this field, in trauma she has to learn how to balance the two. And he's sure she can now that she's talking to Charles. The man may not be a saint, but he seems to work miracles on even the most stubborn of patients. Which is still pretty brilliant in and of it's own right.

❝ Oh yeah, she's capable of those things and she's good at them. Just when it comes to the car accident patients it's a total freeze zone, but I'm willing to do what I need to get her where she needs to be.❞

Then he finds out that she has no one ; all she had was her friend and now she has no one. Coming from a family that is warm and welcoming that...breaks his heart, honestly. Tyler slowly nods his head.

❝ I think I can help with that. ❞ he smile sat Doctor Charles. ❝ We'll get her where she needs to be, and I'm sure once she's on the right track? She'll come close to putting me to shame.❞

A Difficult Day for Martine...

Rounding up a week in Hollyoaks (12th-16th April 2021)

Hollyoaks tackled the problem of unconscious bias this week as Grace and Martine both headed to the hospital to have breast lumps checked. As the week began, Celeste noticed a spark between Felix and Martine and tried to convince her Mother to tell him how she really felt. However, as Martine prepared to tell all, Grace interrupted. Later, Felix was clearly struggling with his feelings for both Martine and Grace and decided to ditch Grace’s birthday plans to spend time with Martine. Martine finally told Felix how she really felt and the pair shared a kiss. However, during the moment, the pair discovered a lump on Martine’s breast. Felix shared the discovery with Celeste and later had to contend with an angry Grace, who demanded to know what was going on...

Having found a lump herself a few weeks back, the day of Grace’s hospital appointment arrived, and it just so happened to be the same day as Martine’s. Before their appointments, both women had their interviews for the ‘Chester Business Woman of the Year Awards’. Whilst Grace’s interview went well, Martine had to contend with the interviewer’s abrupt attitude and the interview was cut short through no fault of her own. Both women then headed to the hospital, where an argument over Felix broke out. However, they were brought crashing back to reality when Peri arrived and revealed that, as the appointment had been double booked, the doctor would only be able to see one of them. Grace immediately began to cry and Peri ushered her in, insisting that she needed to be seen that day. Of course, Martine was understandably annoyed and when she attempted to stand up for her right to see the doctor, Peri told her her to stop being aggressive. Unaware of what had happened, Felix went to the hospital, intending to support Martine through her appointment, however, he ended up bumping into Grace, who assumed he was there for her.

The following day, Celeste was stunned to hear about what had happened at the hospital and gave Peri a piece of her mind. Peri initially failed to accept any wrongdoing however, after a chat with Misbah, she realised where she’d gone wrong and went to find Martine to offer her a rescheduled appointment. Unfortunately, Martine was given bad news when Peri informed her that the lump was suspicious and she would need to undergo a biopsy...

Meanwhile, Sienna was back to her old tricks this week as she poisoned Summer in a bid to spend some time alone with Brody. However, Sienna’s plan went wrong when Brody realised that Sienna had broken into Summer’s flat last week and told her that her deranged behaviour was exactly why he couldn’t be with her. Things were soon about to get a whole lot worse for Sienna when Summer came round and told Damon and Liberty that Sienna had poisoned her. Horrified by her sister’s actions, Liberty decided to move out and Sienna soon had some explaining to do when DS Cohen turned up to arrest her. Sienna was then dealt another blow when Sally got wind of what had happened and suspended her from school. However, in a surprising turn of events, Summer decided to drop the charges and convinced Sally to give Sienna another chance. When Sienna questioned her rival, Summer told her that she was having too much fun to see her sent down...

In other news this week, Sami convinced Verity not to move to New York and the pair decided to get back together, whilst Diane continued her fight against germs. Imran felt threatened and worried by the influence that Ripley was having on Brooke and finally, Ste struggled to pay the bills. 

This Week’s Cast:

Brody, Brooke, Celeste, Cindy, Courtney, Damon, Diane, DS Cohen, Felix, George, Goldie, Grace, Imran, James, John Paul, Juliet, Leah, Liberty, Martine, Misbah, Nancy, Peri, Ripley, Sally, Sami, Scott, Shaq, Sienna, Ste, Toby, Tony, Trish, Verity, Walter and Warren. 

Blasts From The Past:
