#tvdchicago

Note: for some of our H2O/Mako Mermaids faves, I have quite a lot of updates for each, so I think for those I’m just going to list their name and then the updates pertaining to them underneath? (I’m still trying to figure out a format for these)

Chai Hansen in the his last Shadowhunters episodes

Chai may not of been in the actual last episodes of the supernatural drama, Shadowhunters (which aired May 6th), but he gave one hell of a performance in the remaining episodes he was in. A clip of his last episode can be found below.

I should say that he may not of been in the actual last episodes, but Jordan’s presence was definitely felt in the first half of the finale.

And right after the finale aired, a message from Chai was posted where he explained what his time on the show meant to him, his love for the fans, etc. Makes me love him so much more, honestly!

Chai is actually attending Pandemonium Con 2 in London this October, for those interested in meeting him! 

Luke Mitchell:

As I mentioned in the last F.M.M post, I mentioned that Luke’s new show, The Code, was going to air on April 9th. It’s now in full swing, and Luke’s been promoting it heavily on his social media! His lovely wife, Rebecca Breeds, was even in an episode! They’re relationship goals (I loved watching the Home & Away episodes they were in back in the day) and I always love seeing them in and/or supporting each other! 

-It was also announced in late May, that he’ll be starring in an Australian film, Black Water: Abyss. Phoebe, Claire and Cariba dealt with sharks. Looks like, Luke’s dealing with crocodiles in this? So much nope.

Cariba Heine in Everyone is Doing Great:

We always get super excited when Cariba has a new role! (I say this & I still haven’t seen her portrayal as Ebony in H&A...and I call myself a fan) Everyone is Doing Great is an independent comedy series (or short, I’ve seen both) where two guys have to regain their sense of success when their popular vampire drama is finished. It looks like Cariba’s playing the role of Isabella Beck (how many times has she played a Belle now?) Below is the teaser trailer. The best bet for more info seems to be their instagram/social media.

Claire Holt:

-She’s posted several adorable photos of her newborn son, James! She’s so happy and in turn, we’re just as ecstatic for her!

-She took part in fellow Vampire Diaries cast mates’ podcast, Directionally Challenged, which released on Mother’s Day. In the episode, she explains how she’s handled her pregnancy thus far (she was still pregnant with James during the recording), the predictions she has on how her family will parent and she bravely speaks of her miscarriage. I highly recommend giving the episode a listen! To listen to it, I say check out Spotify or wherever you stream music/podcasts.

-We finally have a trailer for A Violent Separation, which can be viewed below. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Claire’s in the movie as much as I’d like. But hear that southern belle accent. *swoons* (of course I’m terrible and updated about this too late. It’s now on demand for your viewing pleasure!)

-Claire Holt is set to attend TVDCon Chicago on June 30th and I can’t contain my excitement! I’m attending the Con that day to meet her again (aka: make a fool of myself), attend her panels, etc. I’ve had the pose for my photo picked out for awhile and I hope it works out/I actually ask her (hint: it’s H2O related!). Will I be seeing any of you there?

Angus McLaren in The Naked Wanderer:

It looks like our Angus is finally getting the recognition and love he deserves! He’s the lead in a new film called: The Naked Wanderer and oh my goodness, does it look hilarious! Based on a true story, Angus’ character, Brian, walks throughout Australia butt naked in order to win back the heart of his girlfriend, Jasmine. But since this looks to be a romantic comedy, you know things are going to get interesting and a tad crazy. I am so beyond excited to see this film and am just in awe of Angus’ work! HE SINGS for crying out loud! Also fellow H2O cast mate and his BFFL, Jamie Timony, will have a role in the film as well! Honestly, makes me want to see this even more! Looks like this is now in theater and available on demand (possibly only for Australians though).

Oh and Angus is also returning to Home and Away later this year as Lance Salisbury! (Me: “I didn’t even know he was in Home and Away!”) it sounds like it might be a main role, and honestly, it’s about time another H2O cast member gets a main role on this show! H&A fans, please let us know when you spot Angus in new episodes.

Out of all the upcoming projects and what not, what are you most looking forward to our H2O cast?

Until the next update,
