My First Blog
Hi! My name is Emily. I am a shoe model living in New York City. Oh, I'm also married. That's important. Recenty, I nursed my sister through her third divorce. It's not what you think. She's not crazy, or a train wreck. It's just...when the going gets tough...she has no idea what to do. And Michael (that's my husband) was like "Why does she always have to come to us? Why can't she just go to therapy?" Well, not everyone can afford therapy. Right? Especially these days. So I decided to do something about it.

Then We Got Help!, the hilarious web dramedy from Julie Ann Emery and Kevin Earley, wraps its stellar first season today with an episode entitled "Your Cheating Heart". On today's show one of the main characters realizes he or she is being cheated on in the middle of the meeting, another announces an unexpected pregnancy, yet another says they want to start a family and one half of a couple wants to move outside of the country for work. And you thought Dallas used to end with killer cliffhangers!
Please, please hurry back Then We Got Help! I have fallen in love with each and every one of these quirktastic characters. Shout out to Emery (Emily), Earley (Kenny), Jessica Rush (Jenny), Nicholas Rodriguez (Danny), Blake Hammond (Eric), Sean Mahon (Terry), Susan Ferrara (Gerry), Alan Campbell (Thom) and Kirsten Shaw (Anna) who turned out one helluva funny, drama-filled, introspective season!
Every time I watch an episode of Julie Ann Emery and Kevin Earley's smartly written and deftly acted web dramedy Then We Got Help! I find myself laughing so hard I almost pop my spleen one minute, then literally aching the next, because the situations the couples find themselves comically confronting hit so damned close to home.
In this week's sharp episode, the members of Emily's (Emery) motley crew of couples seeking therapy sans a therapist embark on a role reversal exercise. Mad props toSusan Ferrara (Gerry) and Sean Mahon (Terry) who nail it as their unhappily marrieds switch places to cuss one another out!
One Life to Live breakout Nicholas Rodriguez, who plays health nut Dan in the serial, also kills it as his character pretends to be Dan's hammy hubby Eric, played by Broadway star Blake Hammond. Since Hammond usually steals the show each week, Rodriguez managed to pull that fete by mimicking Hammond spot on. Then We Got Help!, along with Buppies and The Bannen Way are three of the web series we've covered that are definitely ready for primetime players.
THEN WE GOT HELP star Nicholas Rodriguez was featured in a recent story in the New York Daily News. The story mentioned the show's Indie Soap Award nomination and Rodriguez talked about his role on the show as well as ONE LIFE TO LIVE.
