Welcome fans of Kelly Overton<\/a>! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On Thursday June 18, 2021 we were afforded the honor to interview Kelly Overton<\/a> just prior to the final four episode of the Van Helsing series, three of which broadcast on last night on Friday June 18, 2021 featuring Ms. Overton. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This was subsequent to her return to the series in “The Doorway<\/a>” episode broadcast a couple of weeks ago to much acclaim from the millions of followers of this superb science fiction fantasy series that has captivated Dracula fans around the world!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We first became aware of Ms. Overton starring as Vanessa in the Van Helsing<\/a> series when Team WHR<\/a> attended the San Diego Comic Con Van Helsing panel<\/a> in 2016 that was produced by Chad Oakes<\/a> and Mike Frislev<\/a> of Nomadic Pictures<\/a> in association with Dynamic Television<\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Since that time members of our team and Dracula mythology lovers from around the world have tweeted their hearts out supporting Kelly and the Van Helsing series<\/a> virtually every week with very few exceptions since the series began it’s successful five year run on SYFY<\/a> in the United States in September 2016. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ms. Overton, who took a brief period of time off for personal reasons, has appeared in fifty-three of the sixty-five episodes to our absolute delight!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Prior to that time, we have enjoyed Kelly’s performances in many television series including Legends<\/a>, True Blood<\/a>, Beauty and the Beast<\/a>, Tekken<\/a>, and many other career accomplishments<\/a> in her over two decades within the entertainment industry. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In 2020, while taking time away from the series for family reasons, Kelly, in 2019 began her role as co-executive producer for the Van Helsing series<\/a> to ensure the fourth and fifth seasons stayed faithful to the story arc originally envisioned by series creator Neil LaBute<\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In this regard, Kelly Overton was quite successful as an executive co-producer when the Van Helsing series<\/a> pivoted to the discovery of two Van Helsing series<\/a> children that she (we) never knew she had. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Kelly worked tirelessly behind the scenes to guide the production as an executive co-producer that featured her two daughters, Jack and Violet, portrayed by Nicole Mu\u00f1oz<\/a> and Keeya King<\/a> respectively. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In this way, Kelly was always involved with the Van Helsing series<\/a> even if we did not see her on screen.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Returning to her starring role in season five as Vanessa, Kelly’s fans around the world went wild when Vanessa reappeared in the flesh in “The Doorway<\/a>“! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

During this exciting episode Vanessa battled her own dark side to become ready to (hopefully) defeat the common enemy of all humankind, The Dark One, Dracula (Tricia Helfer<\/a>) in the series finale broadcasting this Friday on June 25, 2021 on SYFY!
