NEWS: Finola Hughes Dance Mom; BREAKING BAD Ad Dollars; Sandra Oh on GREY'S Exit; Jamie Lomas' EASTENDERS Debut

With BREAKING BAD Approaching Its End, Marketers May Clamor to Buy Commercial Time
The last seven episodes will almost assuredly continue the show’s viewership streak for AMC, the network that carries it, and they may set another milestone, too — near record advertising rates for cable television for marketers vying for the limited commercial time still available.

The BREAKING BAD finale on Sept. 29 could be the biggest original programming cable TV event since THE SOPRANOS finale in June 2007 — and those unsold units will get premium rates.

GENERAL HOSPITAL's Finola Hughes stars in the just-wrapped indie feature Platinum: The Dance Movie
"My character, Jo-Ann, is really pretty horrible! Platinum is a tongue-in-cheek take on dance competitions, with all these great young dancers competing at an extraordinary level and the crazy mothers who push them. It's very authentic, but also very funny."

Her GH costar Carolyn Hennesy is also in the film.

"Her character is even worse than mine! I just love that woman. So funny! [Laughs] She's mad as a bag of rats!"

Sandra Oh talks GREY'S ANATOMY exit, jokes about Cristina's uncertain fate: 'They could send her to the moon'
"I don’t know what they have planned. It can be anything," she says. "She could, like — I mean, I don’t want them to off me. I know people have died on this show. They could send her to the moon. I have no idea."

Kiernan Shipka & Mason Dye Join FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC
Abandoned by their mother (Heather Graham) and forced to endure unimaginable treatment living in the attic of their grandparents’ mansion, two children form a family unit of their own. But as the oldest boy (Dye) and girl (Shipka) come of age emotionally and physically while caring for their younger brother and sister, their family’s sordid past entraps them further as they try to survive and escape from the harsh conditions in which they live. Ellen Burstyn plays the children’s grandmother, Olivia.

Lindsay Lohan to Guest Star on EASTBOUND & DOWN
Lohan plays the daughter of one of the show's main characters and was filming a wedding scene set many years in the future.

CORONATION STREET's Kym Lomas tweets support for husband Jamie Lomas before his Thursday EASTENDERS debut
"Hey everyone!!! Hope you're all good! @jamielomas1 debut tonight in @bbceastenders don't forget to tune in!!! X," posted the soap star, to which Jamie replied, writing, "thanks love x x".

Family uses CORONATION STREET theme at funeral for 107 year old woman
The family of Elizabeth Kenworthy, who passed away at age 107, felt it was a fitting choice because of her love for the show along with Elton John's "Candle in the Wind" – a tribute to her idol Princess Diana.
