He says the government will help with the recovery and rebuilding effort for as long as it takes and that eventually life will go on and new songs will be sung.

Army Wives Review: Explosions Big and Small
31 March 2013 8:13 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
"Hearth and Home" was another Army Wives episode where we split the time between Fort Marshall and Afghanistan.
While Hector and Tim would have given anything to be at home with their loved ones, Joan was angry to be back with her family. Could she chalk it up to a recurrence of her brain injury or is she just human? Let's find out.
I always assumed that when Joan gave Roland the okay to go to Johns Hopkins, she was thinking long-term, and would one day be ready leave the Army. She hasn't been happy in her position in a while, and being sent home wasn't her dream career move either, but the way she behaved when she learned Roland was still on board with his assignment surprised me. When it comes to commitments, Joan shouldn't have a problem understanding them.

Army Wives Exclusive: Joseph Julian Soria on Hector's Growth, Jesse McCartney, and Fresh New Season
24 March 2013 6:00 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Hector Cruz had a tumultuous Army Wives Season 6. It included a child on the way, a divorce and eventually getting deployed in the season finale, "Onward."
Except Joseph Julian Soria reassured me that things are looking up for the Private First Class.
I spoke with the actor who portrays Hector on the phone recently, and Soria talked about Hector's positive growth, working with Jesse McCartney and a season that's "going to be like no other that's been on before."
Read on for excerpts from our Q&A...
How did you come about the role of Hector for Army Wives?
I was in the gym working out and got an email last minute that was like a couple hours before the audition. I didn't have time to take a shower and didn't have any ink to print out my materials, so I just ran over there and went in. They called »

5 Questions with Jesse McCartney
22 March 2013 8:36 AM, PDT | Entertainment Tonight | See recent Entertainment Tonight news »
Jesse McCartney may have gotten his start in music, but the now 25-year-old has thrived on television -- from his award-winning performance on All My Children to roles in Summerland and Greek, McCartney has proven he's got chops to make it on the small screen.
But a new role is testing every fiber of McCartney's being in order to believably bring to life Army Wives' newest recruit, Private Tim Truman. ETonline caught up with the actor to find out how he prepared -- both physically and mentally -- to play a soldier and what fans can expect from this revamped season.
ETonline: How did you prepare, mentally, to play a soldier?
Jesse McCartney: With any character, the main objective is to bring authenticity to the role. But this is a little more sensitive because our troops are still over there so when you're talking about war, people are going to be a little more hyper-critical »
Torrey DeVitto Speaks on "Realistic" Character, Fresh New Season of Army Wives
17 March 2013 7:45 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Army Wives is in for some big changes.
After the shocking news about Claudia Joy in "Ashes to Ashes," the follow-up episode, "From the Ashes," will reveal not only new stories, but brand new cast members for the Lifetime series.
I recently spoke with Torrey DeVitto, who joins the show as former airborne soldier Maggie Hall, someone now dealing with a new army husband and domestic life. Along with the likes of Brooke Shields, Ashanti, and even Jesse McCartney, Devitto and the slew of joining performers are ready to bring "fresh blood and a new excitement."
"There's so many of us newbies this year, that we all kind of have the new excitement as if we were going to film a new pilot and it got picked up," said the actress. "I think a lot of the original cast is feeding off that excitement and I think they're happy to »

'Army Wives' Premiere: Mourning One Of Their Own
11 March 2013 3:20 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Season 7 of "Army Wives" kicked off, and right away it was clear that this was going to be a very different year for the long-running drama. The wives were gathered to mourn the loss of one of their own. That one happened to be the original series lead, Kim Delaney's Claudia Joy.
"Feels strange, doesn’t it? Her not being here with us," Pamela said.
The show's executive producer, Jeff Melvoin, told TVLine that Claudia Joy's death serves "as a launching pad for an almost rebooted program." Fellow series stars Sally Pressman, Sterling K. Brown and Terry Serpico have also been reduced to recurring status, alongside Brigid Brannagh, who continues her recurring status from last season.
Stepping up to fill the gap will be plenty of fresh faces for the show, including the likes of Ashanti, Brooke Shields and Jesse McCartney. It's a bold new era for "Army Wives, »

'Army Wives' Season 7: Ashanti, Jesse McCartney and Brooke Shields enter as Kim Delaney exits
10 March 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
As happens on actual military bases, the names and faces of some "Army Wives" are changing.
When the Lifetime drama series begins its seventh season Sunday, March 10, an obvious absence will be that of founding cast member Kim Delaney ... with the departure of her character, Claudia Joy Holden, explained very early in the run. Longtime co-stars Sally Pressman and Sterling K. Brown are recurring now, but at the same time, the show is getting an influx of performers both new and familiar.
Torrey DeVitto ("Pretty Little Liars," "The Vampire Diaries") plays a veteran of three tours of duty in Iraq, now opting for domestic life with her staff sergeant husband (Burgess Jenkins); singer-actress Ashanti appears as a mother of three whose husband (Joshua Henry) serves overseas; Jesse McCartney, who also has dual careers in singing and acting, portrays a new soldier eager to make his mark; and Elle McLemore is cast as the latter's new, »

Army Wives Season 7 – Kaley Ronayne is Brooke Shield’s Helicopter-Flying Daughter
5 March 2013 5:35 PM, PST | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Army Wives’ rebooted seventh season has seen quite a few additions to the cast over the last few months, including three new series regulars. The show will be practically a different entity. Not that long ago, Brooke Shields joined the series in a recurring role as Katherine “Kat” Young, a fantastic pilot and a fierce supporter of the Air Force. Recent news reveals we’ll get to know Kat’s family, especially her daughter, but we’ll find she’s not much like her mother at all, which will be sure to create some great tension between the two characters. Plus, Kat’s daughter sounds like a total bad ass.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Kaley Ronayne will be playing Hannah Young and will recur alongside Brooke Shields. Hannah is a go-getter with a sensitive side, contrasting with her mother’s brashness and ability to fit in with the boys. »

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX Coming To Western PS3s This Fall
25 February 2013 8:24 AM, PST | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Fans of the Kingdom Hearts series have long been clamoring for an HD remastering of earlier games in the franchise. Last year, Square Enix did indeed announce the release of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX, which contained several entries in the series given the high-res PlayStation 3 treatment. The only problem was that Japan was the only country confirmed to be getting the compilation, with Square Enix representatives denying plans to bring it out in English-speaking countries when asked about it.
A glimmer of hope did appear several weeks ago when actor Jesse McCartney, the English voice of series regular Roxas, posted a mysterious tweet in a recording booth showing footage from one of the games on a monitor. And now, that hope has become reality, as Square Enix has finally confirmed their plan to bring ReMIX to North America and Europe later this fall.

31 January 2013 12:47 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Catherine Bell is noting the difference on the "Army Wives" set without fellow founding cast member Kim Delaney.
After making reduced appearances during Season 6 of the Lifetime drama series, Delaney is not returning as military spouse Claudia Joy Holden in Season 7, which begins Sunday, March 10.

"We certainly do miss her," Bell tells Zap2it. "She's a great lady, but things happen and things change. It's just part of our industry."

While fans of Square Enix’s popular Final Fantasy and Disney-themed mashup series Kingdom Hearts continue to wait patiently for the announcement of the next numbered entry in the franchise after last year’s 3Ds entry, Dream Drop Distance, some hints at other news have dropped.
