America Ferrera's Returns to Superstore

Looks like America Ferrera isn't done with Superstore just yet. 

TVLine has exclusively confirm that Ferrera, who previously announced her departure from the NBC's No. 1 comedy was delayed due to COVID-19, has signed on to appear in not one, but two Season six episodes. She will be in the milestone 100th episode, which will now double as Ferrera's swan song. 

The nes comes as Superstore works to incorporate the ongoing coronavirus pandemic into Amy's farewell storyline. 

Co-showrunners Jonahtan Green and Gabe Miller tells TVLine, "We're lucky enough to have America back for our first two episodes of the season. There was so much we wanted to explore with COIVD and how it changes the world of Cloud 9 that we decided to focus on that iin the premiere, with Amy starting her new job remotely while still trying to mange the store.

"The second episode will cover Amy's last day at Cloud 9, so we can fully give her the sendoff she deserves," the continued. "It's also Superstore's 100th episode, so we're excited that America will be celebrating that milestone with us."

Green and Miller tells TVline that for Season Six COVID theme that the premiere will pick up where season five's cliffhanger left off, as the virus delays Amy and Jonah's move to Califorina. Expect time jumps within the episode early int he months of the pandemic soon catching up to where they leave off in the present time. They'll show how all of the characters are handling the new COVID envoriment. 

While we knew that America was going to come back the finish her storyline, I'm super excited for it anyway. It would be so weird to leave things the way they left it and move on from there. It would have been unfitting. Also, I can't wait to see how the Cloud 9 gang deals with he COVID-19 situation. Throughtout the summer when I had to shop I always had a wonder of what would Dana, Glenn or Jonah do in this situation. We'll find out soon.

Superstore premieres in Thursday, October 22 at 8/7c on NBC.

Heart and Soul: Station 19 Season 1 Review

This summer, I had the chance to catch several shows I'd missed out on. One is ABC's Station 19, the spinoff to Grey's Anatomy. Here are my thoughts on the first season.

Chicago Fire Cast New Paramedic for Season 9

Looks like Chicago Fire has found Emily Foster's replacement!

Deadline is reporting that Adriyan Rae (Vagrant Queen) will be joining the NBC drama as a series regular for Season Nine. Raw will fill the ambo 61 paramedic spot that was left by the departure of Annie Ilonzeh's character, who won't be returning to the series.

Rae's Ginna Mackey is described as "a loveable troublemaker with a twinkle in her eye." Coming from a working-class family, she is welcoming to all, but don't be mistaking her for a pushover. "She's tough and quick to defend the defenseless...and rolls with the punches while approaching everything with a bit of wry humor."

This coming off the weekend with the Chicago PD departure of Lisseth Chavez, who played officer Vanessa Rojas. While a couple of weeks ago, Fire's own Daniel Kyri, who plays firefighter Ritter, was promoted to full-time status for season nine.

Also, Chicago Med looks to begin production starting September 22; while Fire and PD will begin around October.

I'm s looking forward to what she brings to the table for the Firehouse 51 team. I had thought that maybe Kidd would be filling or Foster at the beginning of season nine.

What are your thoughts on the new casting? Leave a comment below.

Chicago Fire is set to return Wednesday, November 11 along with Chicago Med and PD on NBC.
