'Hellcats': Gail O'Grady runs with a young crowd

26 April 2011 12:01 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

When she's not being mother to school-age son Michael, Gail O'Grady is a den mother of sorts to a bevy of young beauties on The CW Tuesday cheerleading drama "Hellcats," which returned last week with new episodes.

Through her co-stars, O'Grady has been introduced to the music of Florence and the Machine and updated her tech skills -- more or less.

"I can check emails," she tells Zap2it, "but I'm not exactly in this century right now. [The girls] have always got something new and advanced. They help me probably with music and keeping me a little younger, I guess. Not that I'm an old bat, but as I said, it's a very young cast."

O'Grady plays Wanda Perkins, an irresponsible former party girl who works at the campus pub at the university where her daughter, Marti (Aly Michalka), is studying pre-law on a cheerleading scholarship.

In the Tuesday, April 19, episode, »

Gail O'Grady: Hellcats Team Feeling Positive - American Restoration Back April 15

13 April 2011 10:35 AM, PDT | National Ledger | See recent National Ledger news »

"Hellcats'" Gail O'Grady was surprised to hear that TV prognosticators are giving the CW teen comedy-drama about a cheer squad no better than even odds for renewal next season. The show, in which she plays Aly Michalka's intrusive mama, has an ardent following of loyal fans, she points out, and "I think everyone is feeling positive." On the other hand, with new season announcements coming up next month, it's tension time for even some successful shows that are now on the bubble."I ran into my buddy Gary Sinise the other day, and he said that for the first time in seven years, they're not sure," she notes of the "CSI: NY" star. "You know how TV is these days: Unless something is a runaway hit, unless you're 'Modern Family,' nothing is certain."O'Grady is certain about her feelings toward "Hellcats" and Michalka."From the get-go, »

Hellcats 1.17 "Don't Make Promises" (You Can't Keep) Review

1 March 2011 8:19 PM, PST | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »

Starting an episode of Hellcats with a squad practice is always a great way to start the show. Get the energy pumpin', if you will. And it worked! Woke me right up.

Am I the only one who didn't realize Travis was living with Wanda? There is definitely an age difference there, but putting Travis with Wanda might be kind of interesting and give Gail O'Grady more of a storyline. She's a great choice for Marti's mom, but is definitely underused in Hellcats. The song Travis was playing was a children's song (I hope) written by Marti's dad. I thought it was silly, but maybe there was just something about it that struck a chord with Marti's DNA, because that's when she found out her father was a musician. It seems so incredibly callous for Wanda not to have shared that with Marti, knowing how much music means to her, »
