Walking Dead season 4 Tyreese, Sasha,& Beth getting additional screentime as regulars. Catching up with our Walking Dead coverage, we've learned from TV Line that the show has decided to upgrade characters Tyreese,Sasha,and Beth to regulars for the 4th season, which will likely give them more screen time ,and also gives them hope that they'll continue living for the time being. Tyreese is played by actor Chad L. Coleman. Sasha is played actress Sonequa Martin-Green, and Beth is played by actress Emily Kinney. That Sonequa chick is going to be very busy with her new upgrade status as she's also juggling a new role over at ABC for their hit show "Once Upon A Time," where her character is looking to destroy magic. Sonequa's acting resume also includes past roles in The Good Wife and Army Wives. Tyreese and Sasha are brother and sister, while Beth is Hershel's younger daughter. »

Roland gave Joan an unexpected ultimatum on "Army Wives," forcing her to choose between her career or their marriage. This week, with a big promotion on the line, she made her decision.
“Roland has been there, every step of the way. Making sacrifices for my career. Now it’s time for me to support him, and his dreams. I want to do this, sir," she said. "For my marriage.”
That's right. Joan chose to retire rather than accept the big opportunity that had been offered to her. TV Fanatic called her decision heartbreaking. "It would appear we're in for another goodbye," they wrote. "I can only hope that Roland comes back for an episode and the Burtons get a fitting sendoff.
The site went on to praise the long-running show, though, for how well it's handed cast turnover. "It's kind of hard to believe the original cast had dwindled down to Denise, »

We were treated another huge revelation in "Adjustment Period."
First of all, nobody we know died on the battlefield, but a life was hanging in the balance by the end of this Army Wives hour. And then there was Joan's decision. Her heart-breaking decision, I should say.
Joan did exactly what I expected she would do. The bigger surprise was that I didn't like the way Michael dismissed her as she attempted to explain her choice to retire. Of all people, with everything he has been through and lost, he should know decisions like hers are not made lightly. He started out with a family of four, and now has two. If someone had told him that a decision to retire from the Army would have given him his family back, would he have made it?
Although the Army wasn't responsible for the loss of his family, Michael should have »

On "Reckoning," Army Wives fans were treated to pretty significant field scenes - and I think they will bring changes to the characters that will take a long time to settle. The ladies will look back on their party at Denise's and wish for the simple times once again.
The soldiers never seem as excited to leave for home as the spouses are to receive them. Except the last soldiers who are left behind. They are the ones who are most looking forward to getting home and are instead sitting back watching the youngsters wish they were staying on the battlefield.
It was pretty obvious as soon as Bravo was ordered home that tragedy was going to strike again. The potential for drama is too good and they've been spending too much time in Afghanistan for them to just go over, become combat buddies and come home. It was about to hit the fan. »

Change was looking imminent on "Army Wives" when Roland was offered a job at Johns Hopkins. Joan agreed to put in her Army papers and follow him there, but then things changed. Joan certainly wasn't expecting to get a promotion offer of her own. Unfortunately, her good news didn't translate into good news for the couple.
The Army dangles a carrot in front of you and you jump for it," Roland said to her.
“I don’t want to fight, Roland," she insisted, and Roland agreed to that. Instead, he had an ultimatum for her.
You accept that invitation, this marriage is over," he said.
TV Fanatic didn't feel that this moment was handled very well -- they were disappointed in the episode as a whole, too. They felt the divorce ultimatum came out of nowhere.

Bell will play a character named Joan Dillinger, ex-lover of Sean King (Tenney). “I’ve been a big fan of Catherine Bell for a long time, so it’s very exciting to have her on King & Maxwell,” says Brennan. “Catherine has that perfect blend of strength, intelligence and beauty which »

After a rather rough landing last week, Colonel Kat Young's tough exterior started to soften on "Army Wives" as more facets of her character were revealed. For one, she has a daughter who is about to graduate from the Air Force academy. For another, she had a husband. He died on September, 11, 2001.
"We lost a lot of good Americans that day," Michael said upon learning this.
"General, I think we got off on the wrong foot," Kate said. "I would like to change that if possible."
Perhaps she was talking to the viewing audience as well. TV Fanatic was happy to see her character become more likable. "At least we weren't forced to suffer through a multitude of episodes of her being a complete HellKat before she became understandable," they wrote.

Zap2it: Has being on "Army Wives" influenced your outlook on the military?
Joseph Julian Soria: I always had a positive outlook about the military. If anything, this has just given me more in depth, what their personal lives are like to some degree. A lot of the stories we do are off real statistics in military families. [The show's writers and producers] go to Army bases and talk to Army wives. And the Pentagon has had an adviser [working with the show], and it has our writers be accurate with the material we present. It gives a more detailed outlook.
Zap2it: How do you describe your character, Hector?
Joseph Julian Soria: He is someone who is young, immature. He is growing up, catching his life in a stage where he is becoming a man. You are watching him in that process, watching him making a lot of mistakes and finding himself.

Lawrence Gilliard Jr. is headed to The Walking Dead.
The Wire alum will be a series regular when this AMC smash returns in the fall, coming on board as an ex-army medic named Bob Stookie. Look for the character to be severely haunted by events that took place both before and after the apocalypse.
The Walking Dead Season 4 will premiere some time in October, with David Morrisey returning as The Governor and Robert Kirkman recently saying the mainstays will travel to many different places and locations.
Aside from his role as D'Angelo on The Wire, Gilliard also enjoyed an extended run last year on Army Wives. »

The Walking Dead has made its first major Season 4 hire.
Lawrence Gilliard Jr. (The Wire, Army Wives) has officially signed on to play the series regular role of Bob Stookie (fka “Roy Stark”), a former army medic who is deeply haunted by his past (both before and after the zombie apocalypse). He has a charming, self-deprecating-but-confident public face, despite how troubled he is.

You can add another survivor to The Walking Dead. That would be Roy Stark, who looks he will be played by Lawrence Gilliard, Jr., an actor who’s cut his teeth on The Waterboy, The Wire, Army Wives and a slew of other TV shows.
Roy Stark is described as a “former army medic who is deeply haunted by his past.” Season 4 begins shooting in May. I’m already having withdrawals, so it’s nice to get some news on the show. As far as I know, Roy Stark isn’t a character from the comics, but the name could also be a smoke screen as to his true identity. »

After weeks of promos touting her debut on "Army Wives," fans finally got to see Brooke Shields as Colonel Kat Young. Immediately, she started things off with friction when Joan was late. She was none too pleased that Kat had already called General Holden.
When she asked what he was doing there, Kat coldly replied, "You were unreachable. I called my chain of command."
"You really think that was necessary? My record reflects I have never been late," Joan tried to argue.
But Kat had a response for that, too. "As far as I’m concerned, Colonel, your record's 0 and 1," she said.
TV Fanatic is already not a fan of the new character, noting how appropriate the episode title, "Brace for Impact," was for her debut. They said, "Brace yourself was good advice because there was little to nothing to like about her. From the moment she arrived she was »

"Brace for Impact" must have been a reference for the one made by the arrival of Air Force Colonel Kat Young, played by Brooke Shields.
Brace yourself was good advice because there was little to nothing to like about her. From the moment she arrived, she was nothing but a pain in the ass. Of course, I'm sure there will be some side story coming down the pike that makes us like her (hello, Jackie Clarke!), but for right now, she's going to be on my radar.
Seriously? The one time Joan makes David a priority, the new beyotch arrives on base and makes Joan feel like a failure. That's ridiculous. As much as I have enjoyed Army Wives season 7, I have to give two thumbs down to the writers for making that the entrance of the new character. The Army/Air Force football fight is plenty to worry about, »

The title may have been "Losing Battles," but our characters were really winning wars tonight, as each made great progress toward some pretty impressive goals.
There was a lot of emotion taking place with Denise when she remembered Claudia Joy, Maggie and Eddie as they realized they may lose Caroline and Joan in her continued battle to be a single mom. All around, a top notch episode that harkened back to Army Wives Season 5 and earlier.
I thought it was kind of funny that Maggie saw herself as the tourist of Army wives, just moments before she learned Eddie was to deploy the next day. How real did she need it to get outside the housing issues, the fighting kids and the constant struggles on base before she realized she wasn't just passing through? It never hit me that her casual attitude about everything could be what's been driving Caroline »
