Here a Hoyay, there a Hoyay...

[cabenson]

Anybody watching the new Lifetime show, Army Wives and picking up on Teh Hoyay potential between Kim Delaney's Claudia and Catherine Bell's Denise? Just me, huh ;) There was one scene from last night's ep where I kept yelling at the TV, "Now kiss her, dammit!"

This is a pretty decent show although everywhere I turn, people keep comparing it to "Desperate Housewives"...yeah, aside from focusing on a group of female friends, these shows are nothing alike. DH has Marcia Cross, but AW has Kim Delaney and OMG!, KD is not drunk bloated! Catherine Bell is freaking gorgeous and should play a nudist, although I have to admit, I preferred the character she played on JAG better than domesticated Denise. Course, it IS early days...The gal that plays Roxy always grabs my attention when she is on screen- she has kinda of a "Kyra Sedgwick and Amy Sedaris had a baby" look to her and damn! but she is smoking hot in a thong. Rounding out the crew with Pamela and Roland... both of whom I can't seem to find interesting, is Joan, Roland's hot, but fucked-up Lt. Col. of a wife. Girlfriend can make me stand at attention whenever she wants.

Anyway, just keeping myself amused while my back recovers from whatever the hell I did to it.

I'm not surprised, my child, to find, er, "Hoyay" possibilties on "Army Wives." Katherine Fugate is one of the principal writers for the series, and she is the writer of perhaps one of the most beloved Xena episodes ever written. Yes, I am referring to "When Fates Collide." She says on the commentary on the DVD that she wrote it as if the two women were lovers, and that all the writers and producers told her that that's the way they were playing it in the sixth and final season. They were pulling out all the stops, as it were. I wonder if Ms. Fugate isn't a bit Sapphically-oriented, herself. It is difficult to say . . .

Good day and good grammar.

It would appear that the lovely sister has picked up on the sisterhood as well, baby.
And your definition of Roxy is "spot on, love."

brilliant! yes, that is so true. she'll get cast forever.

KD is not drunk bloated!
okay, i liked the pilot for 2 reasons. 1, they kept playing cat power. 2, the baby/bar delivery? didn't you love that they put a vodka bottle in Delany's hand!!? i freaking loved it.

yeah, so, i'm trying to adopt this as a guilty pleasure/popcorn show but i ever remember to catch it. i can't even catch the re-runs. it's evading me.

I was determined not to watch this show... until I found out it was by Katherine Fugate. Now I'm compelled to check it out.

Especially since you and fembuck are both heralding the hoyay of Denise and Claudia Joy Holden.

I don't even watch the show, but the commercials are enough for me to agree with you. One commercial has Catherine Bell saying "I'm so glad you're here!" and then they hug and sit, with Kim Delaney's hand on Catherine's thigh? Then there was another commercial where Catherine was all weepy and sad and Kim put her hand on Catherine's arm and said, "I'm here... for WHATEVER you need..."

And wasn't there a line where they were all drinking champagne and Kim mentions experimenting...?

So, yeah. The commercials had me wondering whether they actually WERE a couple on the show. *G*

Trust me, you are not the only one! Everyone woman on that show has had some slash potential at some point...AND IT'S ONLY THE THIRD EP! It's a great show...

I have an interview with the production company Wednesday...let's hope I can concentrate on NOT looking for Catherine Bell.

I preferred Bell on JAG too, but I'll take anything I can get of her. And I totally agree with you about Roxy...YUM!

Femslashy Army Wives fic by the lovely twtd. I think she sat down and wrote this the second the first ep went off the air.

I haven't seen the show yet, but I was always a huge fan of Mac on JAG, so the Catherine Bell-ness kind of caught my attention. Although, she is a Scientologist, which weirds me out.... :P

Waitwaitwait... *takes several deep, calming breaths*

Ok. So you're telling me that Kim Delaney (hawt brunette whose nudie scenes with Jimmy Smits were the only reason I watched NYPD Blue... at all... seriously) and Catherine Bell (smokin body who has posed in Maxim and FHM and rides crotchrockets and is also brunette) have a potential HoYay in the making on this new show???

*starts hyperventilating*

Must... deny... temptation...

omg. Must. Watch.

Now.
