‘Forever’ and a day New fantasy drama toys with the immortal
By Lydia Peever TV Media
How would you explain to your friends and coworkers that you may live forever? Imagine bumping into your college professor decades after graduation looking much the same as the first day you met. How would you explain that away? The fledgling series “Forever” tackles this idea when a new episode of the fantasy drama airs Tuesday, Oct. 28, on ABC.
Enter Dr. Henry Morgan. Aside from being touted as the top medical examiner in New York City, he makes a hobby of playing with dead things. Rest assured, this is all in the name of research as Morgan is immortal. He dies time and time again — four times in the premiere, if you can swallow that — and keeps coming back. The problem is that even though he has studied death, he has no idea why it eludes him.
The dark doctor is played by Ioan Gruffudd (“Ringer”), who has his fair share of dark and brooding in roles on his resumé. You may recall him as Mr. Fantastic from the Marvel Comics-based “Fantastic Four” franchise, where he may have been just as conflicted dealing with a preternatural power few could understand. He also has starred in films such as the biographical drama “W.” (2008), “King Arthur” (2004) and “Amazing Grace” (2006).
“I’m a character that has lived for 200 years,” Gruffudd said in conversation with ABC News. “Yes, I’m immortal, but [Dr. Morgan] sees this as a curse rather than a blessing. If you can imagine living for 200 years and everyone else isn’t immortal, people come and go in your life, and people pass on, and it’s a bit of a tragedy. It’s an interesting dichotomy. The character lives and breathes and works in a medical examiner’s office, surrounded by death, but he can’t die himself.”
The rest of the cast comes from so many styles there is bound to be a personality that will speak to any viewer. Alana De La Garza is the tough-as-nails Det. Jo Martinez. She isn’t sure what to make of the distracted medical examiner, but ultimately finds him intriguing, though she doesn’t know his secret. De La Garza has been dabbling with law in television for a decade, starting with
the naval and militaristic “Jag,” as well as popping in “Law & Order,”
“CSI: Miami,” “NCIS: Los Angeles” and “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.”Lucas Wahl, the doctor’s devoted assistant, is a bit of an oddball. Although he is more death-obsessed than his liege, he offers a spark of
youth to the proceedings. Portrayed by Joel David Moore (“Bones,” “Avatar,” 2009), he has had less serious roles in films such as “Dodgeball: A
True Underdog Story” (2004) and “Grandma’s Boy” (2006). One face that may seem familiar to viewers is Judd Hirsch, who’s had a long, successful career in film and television. His career took off in the mid-’70s when he played moralistic taxi driver Alex Reiger in the hit series “Taxi.” Since then, he’s starred in hit shows such as “Dear John” and well as films like “Independence Day” (1996) and “A
Beautiful Mind” (2001). He has two Emmys and a Golden Globe to his name, as well as countless other nominations, including an Oscar nod for his supporting role in “Ordinary People” (1980).
Hirsch’s character, Abe, is the owner of an antique shop in “Forever” and one of the few people who knows of Henry’s odd affliction. Not only is Abe a friend and confidant, he also happens to be the adopted son of the immortal doctor, which adds a special twist to the alreadyquirky situation. So while many kids seek advice from their parents, there’s often a swap in this relationship since Abe encourages his father to live a little. It’s an odd sentiment, perhaps, when it’s directed at a man who’ll live a lot longer than even his own son.
Narrated by Gruffudd’s Dr. Morgan, the show’s story is also told in flashback and happens to be eerily similar to a now-defunct 2008 program. Astute viewers may recall “New Amsterdam,” an ill-fated Fox series that only saw eight episodes before its demise. The similarities begin with the immortal John Amsterdam, played by Nikolaj CosterWaldau (“Game of Thrones”), who
was a mid-thirties New York homicide detective. He was a soldier seeking his true love, and his 65-year-old son is in the picture as well as himself.
According to producer Matthew Miller, “Forever” is not a retelling or spinoff. In fact, it was only in developing the show that Miller heard of the previous series. His idea was actually spawned by far more touching means, as he explained at Television Critics Association press tour in July.
“It was pilot season, and I was putting my five-year-old son to bed,” Miller said. “He asked me, ’Daddy, are you ever going to die?’” It’s a question likely posed by most toddlers at some point, and initially Miller said no. He eventually added, “I will die, but it won’t be for a very long time. ... [My son] burst out crying, and my wife came in and continued raising my child, and I went off to write television.”
The old saying “time flies” certainly rings true for many of us. For Dr. Morgan, however, that idiom couldn’t be further from the truth. See how the immortal doctor handles living forever when a new episode of “Forever” airs Tuesday, Oct. 28, on ABC.

Over the weekend, George Clooney got married in Italy. His bachelor party was held over the course of the last 30 years. That’s how I lost my voice, I was outside screaming, “Don’t do it!”
Microsoft has announced it will open its first flagship store in Manhattan. It’s
expected to be just like the Apple Store, but without all those pesky lines in front.
It was revealed today that the White House fence-jumper got deeper inside the building than previously reported. In fact, for 20 minutes, he was acting secretary of commerce. I think he signed like three pieces of legislation. When asked for comment, Joe Biden said, “He made it much further than I’ve ever gotten.”
George Clooney says that marriage “feels pretty damn great.” To which every married guy replied: “Dude, it’s been four days. Give it time, George.”
People are wondering why Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were not at George Clooney’s wedding. Pitt and Jolie issued a statement saying: “We’re sorry, we couldn’t find 18 babysitters.”
Secret Service director Julia Pierson says agents are allowed to use “lethal force” to stop someone from entering the White House. Unfortunately, this may cut down on the number of trickor-treaters at the White House this year.
Now it’s come out that the Secret Service let an armed ex-convict ride on the same elevator as President Obama.

Confession time: I love Halloween. It’s the one time of the year when we adults can really let loose and get in touch with our inner children. We get to gorge ourselves on candy and sweets — although maybe not quite as much as we once did. We can get all messy and creative as we tug out the slimy innards of pumpkins and then carve them up into scary faces or spooky scenes. Heck, we even get to play dress-up if we want to!
I think the best part of Halloween is that it only comes once a year. If we got to do all those fun things year-round, they just wouldn’t be special — plus all that candy is most definitely not what the doctor ordered for lunch.
It’s that once-a-year business that keeps the Food Network’s “Halloween Wars” feeling so fresh. This may be its fourth season, but with only four episodes each year, the show doesn’t get stale.
Sunday nights throughout October, we’ve been watching as five teams of Halloween pros got whittled down one by one, and now we’ve finally reached the big night. With only the top two teams remaining for the Sunday, Oct. 26, fi-
nale and a $50,000 “treat” up for grabs, you can bet that the remaining competitors will be pulling out any last tricks they may have up their sleeves on “Halloween Wars” airing on Food Network.
Even if you’ve missed the past three episodes, it’s really not too tricky to catch on if you’re only tuning in for the finale. Each team — the competition started with five — consists of three members: an expert pumpkin carver, a sugar artist and a cake decorator. At the beginning of each episode, the teams are given a theme, and then they have to craft the most elaborate, most decadent and most sweetly deli-
cious Halloween-themed display they can pull off.
And what’s the theme for this final episode, the one that will earn one team a bucket of sweet, sweet cash and send the other home shivering in terror? “Haunted Carnival” will be their final challenge, and with themes like “Mummies vs. Werewolves” and “Don’t Go Into the Forest” behind them, they’ll have to come up with something original to craft out of sweets and jack-o-lanterns.
Much like the day it’s named after, “Halloween Wars” comes but once a year — although with four episodes it does last a little bit longer. Even if you haven’t been following along, the finale promises to be a sweet finish to another year’s fun. Don’t miss it, Sunday, Oct. 26, on Food Network.
