"Reasonable Doubt," the episode aired just this past Wednesday, left no doubt for those who watched it, that Celia Keenan-Bolger is transitioning from a fine musical theater performer, into a first rate dramatic actress. The internal torment, the looks, the glances, she used to heighten her tragic character of Mavis Summers, was simply breathtaking--a veritable actor's feast. Backed up by Samantha Mathis,(who, by the way is Bibi Besch's daughter) this was acting of a high dramatic caliber not featured on the show, in quite some time.
It was inspirational both to have Celia, and to bring back Samantha, who played Hilary, daughter of Jacqueline Bisset, in the 2003 episode, "Control," the one where Austin Pendleton plays a pervert with a bridal fetish who gets his willy lopped off in a subway station!!!!!!!!! Who could forget that one, girls??????????? They don't write them like that, anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They better, if they want to have a successful 16th Season, and maybe even a 17th. But having Celia is a good start. Bring her back, either as Mavis, or in another role.
Celia went for the Emmy gold in this! But I want to see her win that TONY Award for Laura!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
