Sometimes, the bonds that we see represented on screen go beyond the cameras. That is the case with The Love Boat stars Jill Whelan and Gavin MacLeod. Jill got candid in a recent interview and Q&A session discussing the special bond that she shared with her on-screen father. Jill Whelan and Gavin MacLeod: A Connection Beyond The Screens PEOPLE Magazine reported that the former child star said she and her on-screen dad had “a really special bond and a special chemistry.” Several of The Love Boat stars gathered on the Enchanted Princess for the Princess Cruise’s “Love Boat” Celebration at Sea. The stars included Fred Grandy, Bernie Kopell, Ted Lange, and Jill Whelan. However, Jill’s on-screen dad, Gavin MacLeod, was not there. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2021 at age 90, but his memory was alive on this trip. Whelan made sure to share wonderful memories of her late costar. She stated, “He is such a fine actor, truly a gifted, full-of-range actor.” Then, she continued to reflect on MacLeod’s skills. She said, “And so many people don’t have that knowledge about what an amazing actor he was and as a human being, which is what I was saying before.” “Love Boat” Memories The star went on to mention how Gavin MacLeod was more than just a wonderful actor, he was a wonderful person. She discussed one of her favorite things about him. “The thing about Gavin that I will remember more than anything is his love for life.” From there she mentioned a phrase that he said often, which was, “Isn’t this just the best?” Besides just being kind and uplifting individuals, another thing bonded The Love Boat costars—their love of food. Jill Whelan added, “He loved food probably more than anything. And that’s why I loved him because me too.” Jill goes on to explain that she took a lot of Gavin’s lessons to heart, including his optimistic outlook on life. She also credited the show and her character’s success in large part to him. “All roads lead back to Gavin MacLeod,” she said in the Q&A. “I really believe that. And Gavin and I had a really special bond and a special chemistry that I think brought another side of the captain to an audience who already loved him.” Whether it was his incredible acting skills, the way he effortlessly connected with people, or the special friendships he formed with his costars, Gavin MacLeod is a name to remember. Seeing his costars honor his memory with so many loving words was so touching. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

News Wicked Glinda and Elphaba Are Very Close in Latest Wicked Trailer By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on September 5, 2024 Credit: Universal Pictures Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: Universal Pictures We have another trailer for the film adaptation of the musical Wicked, and this one centers on the close relationship between Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba and Ariana Grande’s Glinda. The two, who are widely known as nemeses from the Oz novels (where they go by the monikers of the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good), started as dear, dear friends. This trailer, which is initially set up from Glinda’s point of view, shows how the two befriended each other in magic school and held hands a lot. It also boasts a song or two from the musical, and gives us more of the teacher Madame Morrible, played by Michelle Yeoh as well as Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard and Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero. Here’s the synopsis for the film, which is directed by John Chu: The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Glinda’s unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power, while Elphaba’s determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences on her future. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West. Wicked, which is apparently just the first of two planned movies [ed note: not that you’d know that from this trailer?] is set to premiere in theaters on November 22, 2024. Check out the trailer below. [end-mark] The post Glinda and Elphaba Are Very Close in Latest <i>Wicked</i> Trailer appeared first on Reactor.
