Mother races to save daughter in ‘Somewhere Between’
By Kyla Brewer TV MediaWhentragedy strikes, it’s easy to look back and think we could have done better. Reliving the past can be painful, but for one woman, a second chance could make all the difference in ABC’s new summer thriller.
Paula Patton (“Precious,” 2009) stars as San Francisco news producer Laura Price, who faces every mother’s worst nightmare when her daughter is murdered in “Somewhere Between,” airing Tuesday, Aug. 1, on the alphabet network. In a supernatural twist of fate, Price finds herself reliving the week before the murder, and scrambles to find a way to prevent it over and over again.
The suspenseful thriller premiered on the network Monday, July 24. As the series began, Price was assisting the police with an investigation into a recent string of murders when the serial killer targeted her daughter. Seemingly given a second chance to stop the homicide, she struggles to find a connection between herself and the killer. Price soon realizes that changing her daughter’s fate could require making an ultimate sacrifice.
This isn’t Patton’s first gig for ABC. In 2015, she starred in the pilot for “Runner,” a drama about a woman drawn into the world of cartels and
the illegal gun trade between the U.S. and Mexico. Unfortunately for Patton, ABC passed on the series, but she’s landed a second chance to headline a TV series with “Somewhere Between.” So far, her acting career has been focused on the big screen. Patton has had memorable roles in such hit films as “Idlewild” (2006), “Déja Vu,” (2006), “Mission: ImpossibleGhost Protocol,” (2011) and “Warcraft” (2016).
“Somewhere Between” co-stars Devon Sawa as cop-turned-private investigator Nico Jackson. Fans of CW’s now-defunct spy drama “Nikita” may recognize Sawa as Owen Elliott, but the Canadian actor has been acting since he was a child. As a young actor, he landed a role in the sports comedy “Lit tle Giants” (1994), and later got his big break when he appeared in “Casper” (1995) op posite Christina Ricci (“The Addams Fami ly,” 1991), with whom he reunited in “Now and Then” (1995). He also had a leading role in the popular 2000 horror flick “Final Destination.”
J.R. Bourne (“Star gate: SG1”) portrays
Price’s husband, district attorney Tom Price, who’s described as “sensitive yet powerful.” Bourne is best known to television audiences from his roles as Martouf in the science-fiction television series “Stargate: SG1” and Chris Argent in MTV’s “Teen Wolf.” Other TV credits include “Revenge” and “Fringe.” He’s also won two Best Supporting Actor Vancouver Film Critics Circle Awards for “On the Corner” (2003) and “Everything’s Gone Green” (2007).
Newcomer Aria Birch plays Laura and Tom’s daughter, Serena, a bighearted child who views everyone as a new friend.
“Somewhere Between’s” guest stars include Catherine Barroll (“Emily Owens, M.D.”), Imogen Tear (“The Magicians”), Noel Johansen (“The Age of Adaline,”2015), Samantha Ferris (“The Tall Man,” 2012), Daniel Bacon (“The BFG,” 2016) and Michael St. John Smith (“I, Robot,”
Patton and many other members of the cast had to relocate to Vancouver, Canada, for filming. Bringing production north keeps costs low for TV networks, which often broadcast lower-cost series during the summer months.

On the grill: ‘Chopped’s’ annual summer tournament sizzles
By Andrew Warren TV MediaWe’re about halfway through summer, and barbecue season is in full swing. For “Chopped” host Ted Allen, that can only mean one thing: another season of “Chopped Grill Masters” is imminent.
The special summer competition is back on TV screens Tuesday, Aug. 1, on Food Network, with 16 talented grilling pros in pursuit of a grand prize that includes a Napa Valley vacation and an irresistible $50,000.
The formula is classic “Chopped.” In each episode, four challengers compete to put out the best plates over three rounds (appetizer, entrée and dessert), using a basket of four mystery ingredients that must be incorporated. One of them is eliminated — or chopped,
in the show’s parlance — after every round. For the fifth and final episode of “Grill Masters,” airing Tuesday, Aug. 29, the winners of the previous four episodes come together for a final round of culinary battles that decides who is the greatest master of all things grilled.
“Chopped” is a tough competition, but at least it’s normally held in the controlled environment of the “Chopped” kitchen. Not so for “Grill Masters,” which heads outdoors and trades in the stove tops and ovens for propane grills and charcoal briquettes. The bright studio lighting is replaced by a sweltering sun, and a climate-control system is replaced by winds that can wreak havoc on anything that isn’t weighted down.
These are grill masters, though: men and women who deal with these conditions all the time. In clas-
sic “Chopped” tradition, the real challenges are found in the baskets. The first episode finds a strange kind of pie alongside a beautiful pork cut in the appetizer basket, while the entrée basket holds a special vegan surprise.
The culinary curveballs keep coming as the competition goes on over the next five weeks. The chefs have to contend with two proteins in one basket, a surprise birthday cake, fro-
zen daiquiris and even beans for dessert.
If it sounds like it might be tough to put together a meal using those ingredients and at the mercy of mother nature, that’s because it is. With $50,000 and a dream vacation on the line, though, no one expected “Chopped Grill Masters” to be a walk in the park. The summer grilling competition gets underway Tuesday, Aug. 1, on Food Network.
