Nathan with fans (and Michelle and Zach in the background) at the Dixie Chicks concert Monday night at The Hollywood Bowl. Okay, Zach looks creepy. -LOL I'm told he's growing the beard for a new role. That song...."you can leave your hat on"....just popped into my head. Pigtails "Dixie Chicks!!!♡♡ Nathan Fillion of Castle was sitting right in front of us. He was soo nice and handsome too!" Source: www.facebook.com/candace.foster2

Someone posted this podcast on Twitter. It's with Erika Slezak who played Nathan's mother (?) on OLTL. She says such wonderful things about Nathan that I took the time to transcribe it here so it was easier than having to listen through the podcast. Source: www.blogtalkradio.com/brandonsbuzz/2016/10/13/an-exclusive-conversation-with-emmy-winning-soap-legend-erika-slezak---pt-2Brandon (asking her about different actors she worked with on OLTL): Nathan Fillion?Erika: Nathan, my Nathan! Nathan came on the show...I think it was his first job....and he had a funny long haircut, and I loved him from the second he started. He was so talented, and I will tell you that after he left they tried to recast Joey a thousand time. And it never worked because they were trying to recast Nathan, and that couldn't work. I mean, we had good Joey's, but there was something so unique about Nathan. There was an inner spark, and a light, and a humor that no one ever captured.Brandon: He almost had a halo around his head he was so brightly charged. You just knew that he was going to be.....whatever he did.....that he was going to be fantastic at it.Erika: He's so special. And when we did the 40th anniversary of the show, Frank our producer wanted to bring back Nathan as Joey because they didn't have a current Joey then. And I think he called his agent, and I think his agent said (sarcastically) "oh no, he's not going to come back and do a soap!" So Frank hung up and he picked up the phone and he called Nathan directly and said "Do you want to come back?" And Nathan said "Yes! Absolutely!" I mean, how sweet! At that point, you know, already big in Hollywood.Brandon: Yeah, he had nothing to gain from doing this.Erika: No! No, he was just....that's the kind of guy he is. And every time he came to New York he would stop by and say hello, or call or something you know. He would always show up and give me a big hug and kiss, and say hi to everybody...because everybody loved him. Loved him!! He's an awesome guy! And deserves every bit of good fortune that he gets! No surprise, but always, always wonderful to hear!

No surprise, but always, always wonderful to hear! Thanks so much, Kelly. I saw that podcast but there was no way I was going to wade through it for just a couple of thoughts on Nathan. I love hearing how much his former costars loved him. I never watched OLTL although I've seen a lot of Nathan's clips on Youtube, but I thought it was great that he agreed to go back as Joey for the 40th anniversary. I'm sure the fans were thrilled. He really appreciated that job.

Well I didn't listen to the whole thing, and luckily I saw someone on Twitter mention the point in the podcast that covered Nathan. LOL She just had such wonderful things to say that I knew many wouldn't hear them if they had to listen to the podcast. It was well worth my time to type it out.

Nathan looked great on MF tonight!! Any time his hair is blowing in the wind, it's all good. He looked amazing! That suit in the scene where he's broadcasting about the winds looked beautiful! He looked great in all the clothes they put him in. I know he's lost weight but later season Castle was dressed so poorly compared to MF! I guess that is the one good thing about Castle's cancellation. Nathan is looking fabulous now on screen. I just wish he were on screen more. His time on MF seemed so short!

Happy Fillion Friday!!! Hoping we get some photos from Nathan's improv appearance on Sunday night!!
777.....about that short time on screen......Watching Modern Family the other night I couldn't help but notice that the regulars on that show, because there are so many, aren't individually on screen for probably more than 5 minutes max each episode. When you think about the fact that many of them are on the highest paid actor/actress list for 2016 at $11 and $12 million each......and they probably worked/filmed one day for each episode? And then you consider that Nathan made that same $12 million for an hour long drama in which he worked at least 6 long days for each episode? Those Modern Family guys have it pretty easy!! And Nathan was a bargain for ABC.
I know that's just how Hollywood works, but it's much easier filming a half hour comedy series with a large ensemble cast than it is an hour long weekly drama where you're the lead and in the majority of the scenes.

Happy Fillion Friday! It's the first day I've had all to myself this whole darn week. I had friends over on Wednesday night for a game night but I called a halt to everything so we could watch Modern Family. PRIORITIES! Thankfully, they're fully aware of my Nathan addiction and were happy to watch with me. Holy HOTNESS, Batman! He looked fantastic and the role is just perfect for him. I'm so happy that we'll get to see him continue it too. Does anyone know if he's in consecutive episodes or if they're scattered? After all of the great stuff we got from his Con appearance in Russia, I'm looking forward to November and all of the goodies that should be coming from Shanghai and Australia. TC, thanks for transcribing the comments from his soap family. He has ALWAYS given great credit to the people he worked with in the beginning and it's lovely to hear how much he was appreciated by them. Could I love the man any more? ?

And just for you 777........ Oh boy! The rest of my afternoon is shot! I'm just going to watch that gif for a couple hours..... I mean minutes. I agree with you that Nathan's "pay per minute on screen" was nothing compared to a half hour comedy with an ensemble cast! Selfishly I want him on screen more, but I'm also very happy that he's enjoying his free time now. Thanks for the gif, TC; I'll try not to drool on my iPad. Happy Fillion Friday to all!
