<\/a><\/p>\nIf you looked up the word \u201cbubbly\u201d in the dictionary, you would find a picture of Teryl Rothery. Of course you would also find her under \u201cflirt\u201d, as you will see. I have had the pleasure of seeing Teryl three times now. She attended Chicago twice, though the second time she almost didn\u2019t make it. One of my favorite memories of Teryl\u2019s first visit to Chicago was her Cabaret performance. Before doing one of the three song and dance numbers she had prepared, Teryl discovered that a young girl in the audience was there to celebrate her tenth birthday. She invited the child onto the stage, taught her a very simple series of dance steps, and then they performed together! Talk about a birthday wish come true!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n When Teryl took the stage in Vancouver, she first polled the audience for children and \u201cconvention virgins”, a.k.a. people who had never attended a convention before; then she decided to start taking questions. She described to us how it works for her. \u201cBasically what I do is I give you guys this time. You ask as many questions as you want to ask, I do my best to answer them, and I don\u2019t really know all the answers so \u2013 (sees people she recognizes in the front rows) Oh my God look at all these wonderful familiar faces! \u2013 so what I do then is I rely on a lot of you to answer the questions that I don\u2019t know. Is that a deal?\u201d Yes Teryl, we\u2019ll help you!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Teryl was in luck. Her first question was about the infamous \u201cPuff and Ruffle\u201d! If you haven\u2019t heard of this, make a point to ask any original SG-1 cast member about it at a convention. They\u2019ll wonder how the story has survived this long, but you\u2019ll love seeing them act it out! This transcript can\u2019t possibly do it justice! \u201cThat\u2019s very rude, puffling and ruffling and there are children in this audience! Seriously, you\u2019ve not seen the Puff and Ruffle? Oh my God, I\u2019ve got to go back through the fog of \u2013 how many years would it be now? Come on you guys, you guys are good at \u2013 math gives me diarrhea! How many years has it been when we did season 1? What was that, somebody? [I shouted “12!”] No, it\u2019s got to be more than 12 years. Just 12? 13? Holy Toledo! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n “Ok, 13 years, Puff and Ruffle. I think it was season 1. Well it actually continued throughout the show. For those of you who have been to umpteen conventions, I apologize for you having to hear this umpteen times. But for you newbies, there\u2019s so many of you, and it\u2019s so exciting that more and more of you are coming and joining the fun here at Creation, and we love having you here so I will do the Puff and Ruffle story again.<\/em> Basically, when you are on a show and you are as fortunate as we have been to be on such a great show for such a long period of time \u2013 seven years for me; truly the best seven years of my life \u2013 you become a family. Not just the cast but your crew; right from your producers all the way throughout, we are a family. So when you first meet, you get things like they kind of look at you like you\u2019re a pretty girl at the very beginning. Chris [Judge] and Michael [Shanks] and Richard [Dean Anderson] used to flirt all the time because Manda [Amanda Tapping] and I were The Girls, and we were new. And as time wears on, you\u2019re one of the guys. And worse than that you become sisters. And you what that entails if you have siblings, so they treat you as such. So all of a sudden you\u2019re not the pretty ones anymore, you\u2019re just one of the guys! And you\u2019re family! And so all these guest stars would come in. Of course, being military we\u2019d be covered up (indicating her chest and neck area), and guest stars would be scantily clad. But even in the read-through\u2019s and stuff \u2013 my God it was just pathetic. Typical men stuff \u2013 No groans from the guys cuz you agree, right? All this guy stuff, so they\u2019re be a guest star coming in, and they\u2019d be like punching you (punches the air) or Christopher would love to go inside his nose (pretends to be picking her nose) and go on about his nose hairs and pluck it out and put in on your clothes. I\u2019m not kidding! He did! He would do that! But when the new girl<\/em> would come in, all of a sudden \u2013 and this is where the puff thing comes out. You\u2019ve all seen birds, the male species of the duck or the pigeon, and they do that whole puffing thing (rolls her shoulders back and shakes them) where the pigeon gets that puffy chest? And the male peacock has the beautiful tail, so of course they see a female and the tail starts (turns profile and wiggles her . . . ahem). And I am not exaggerating, nor am I making this up for the purpose of making you guys laugh. They would \u2013 (sees the questioner readying her camera) you want a picture of this, don\u2019t you? Look at you! \u2013 the guys would see the new girl coming in and literally they\u2019d going from pulling their nose or doing that stuff to (rolls the shoulders shakes them, and struts!) \u2018Hey, hey baby. How\u2019re you doing? Welcome! So good to see you!\u2019 And they\u2019d all <\/em>do this whole thing <\/em>where they\u2019re chest would puff up and the ruffling, you know! And there was this time where \u2013 well, every time \u2013 you\u2019d go onto a set at the sound studio and it\u2019s freezing<\/em> bloody cold first thing in the morning, so they always give you parkas and stuff to stay warm. So at this particular time for some reason Amanda and I weren\u2019t in one, so this particular guest star that they\u2019re doing the whole Puff and Ruffle thing for comes in, and in the mean time we\u2019re going like this (shivers and says with gritted teeth) \u2018Is the coffee ready? Oh my God. Brrrr!\u2019 We\u2019re freezing, this one comes in, and literally Richard\u2019s like, \u2018Oh hey (shoulder roll, shake, strut), baby look at you, you\u2019re freezing! Wardrobe! Wardrobe! Can we get a coat for her?\u2019 And we\u2019re like, \u2018(raises a hand, so cold no understandable words come out!) But it didn\u2019t apply to us. So that\u2019s essentially in a condensed version the Puff and Ruffle.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Uh oh. Ok, this is where the \u201cflirt\u201d comes in. A gentleman comes up to ask a question, and Teryl loves it so much she asks for his name, Paul, then comes down off the stage, holds her own mic up to him and has him repeat it. \u201cShanks\u2019s character was found on another planet. What clause did you have to sign in order for you to come back? We want you back!\u201d This is where Teryl can get herself in trouble. She\u2019s so outwardly affectionate . . . <\/span>She says, \u201cI love you Paul! I really do!\u201d She reaches up, because Paul was a good foot taller than her, hugs him around the shoulders, and plants a big kiss in his cheek! Then Teryl says, referring to his wife who\u2019s in the audience, \u201cWhen you\u2019re dead you ain\u2019t being buried, she\u2019s gonna cremate you. . . . Well, let me tell you. I don\u2019t know what clause Shanks signed, but I wish I had signed that same clause. It was so upsetting! And that\u2019s another thing! It\u2019s again this male thing! The Puff and Ruffle guy thing! He ascends beautifully, this spirit going (floats a hand skyward). What do I get? (Slaps her chest audibly) Staff blast right to the chest! Oozing blood. It\u2019s just awful<\/em>! My eyes are like wide open starring up. And I\u2019m lying in ice-cold mud. I don\u2019t know, Paul. I kept hoping beyond hope they would bring poor old Janet Fraiser back, but alas I don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to happen. Unless of course you all write to the new people. Isn\u2019t there like a new show or something? What is it, Stargate Universe? (Grinning) I think we should all write in. Cuz then now they\u2019ll still keep bringing me back, k? Thank you!\u201d She blows Paul another kiss. \u201cMichael is here on Sunday, right? Payback time, Paul!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n When did they tell you you were going to die? Was is a shock, or did they prep you midseason and say, \u2018Hey we\u2019re going to kill you off!\u2019 Or was it just like, \u2018Hey, here\u2019s the script, read through it,\u2019 and on the tenth page it\u2019s like, \u2018I\u2019m dead!\u2019\u201d<\/em> \u201cYou know what, it was a phone call. Because at that point contracts were up. I mean everybody\u2019s different contracts. So at this point we were kinda doing a freelance kind of thing. (Teryl sees a Creation staff member moving something near the stage and she says, \u201cYou afraid I\u2019m going to trip on that? I\u2019ve only had two sips. They don\u2019t want to be sued.\u201d) I got a call, I guess it was in the Januarys. We\u2019d only started filming in February, right? I think it was January, maybe December, when they said, \u2018What\u2019s up\u2019 because I had taken a play \u2013 I love theater, for any theater lovers here. So I\u2019d taken this job in this play, so they didn\u2019t know what was happening. So [Robert] Cooper called me to say, \u2018Is everything going to be ok? Are we going to be able to work through your schedule?\u2019 I said, \u2018Yes we can work it through. The theater, everybody knows what\u2019s happening so we\u2019ll just make it work.\u2019 He says, \u2018Ok great. Listen, while I\u2019ve got you on the line, how would you feel if we killed you off?\u2019 (Gives us look with her hands out that clearly says \u2018What the heck?!\u2019) <\/span>A, this is your livelihood. It\u2019s like somebody saying \u2018how would you feel if we just made your position in the company nil. Gone.\u2019 I was like, \u201c(really indiganant) What do you mean, \u2018how would I feel?\u2019 I\u2019m an actress! I\u2019d be really . . . (looks as us, smiles innocently, and revises whatever she was about to say to:) ticked off.\u2019 I remember all those kids! \u2018I\u2019d be really angry, of course! What do you mean? Why what\u2019s happening?\u2019 [Cooper] is like, \u2018Well we just want to shake things up a little\u2019 <\/span>and ah \u2013 oh, I was just thinking ahead a little to what I actually said and it just sort of gave me a little start. You guys will understand in a minute. <\/span>He said, \u2018we just want to shake things up,\u2019 and I said, \u2018if you wanted to shake things up why wouldn\u2019t you kill off Hammond instead of Fraiser?!\u2019 <\/span>[We all moan sadly] Which is exactly what I said, which it why I prefaced it saying I just had this big lump come when I thought of that story. <\/span>But that is the God-given truth, that is exactly what I said. And I did phone Donnie [Teryl\u2019s nickname for Don Davis] right afterward and I told him I said this, and we laughed about it, and I just miss him terribly. I guess we had to get through that one, didn\u2019t we? (Wipes a tear and steadies her breath) So yeah, that\u2019s essentially what it was. I still blame the producers being on drugs for writing me off.\u201d We all laugh and cheer, and then the gentleman who asked the question says something like, \u201cThey couldn\u2019t replace you\u201d. There was more to it but I couldn\u2019t catch it over the applause. Teryl, being Teryl, couldn\u2019t resist. \u201cBless your heart! Are you married? Where is she? Stand up! (Comes down off the stage) It\u2019s you? Oh, she\u2019s cute! You kinda look like Carter! A redheaded version! (Goes to the guy who asked the question) Ok, ready? Give me a hug!\u201d Teryl reached up \u2013 because again the guy was a good foot taller than her \u2013 hugged him around the neck, cheek to cheek, and let his wife take a picture, but apparently she doesn\u2019t come close enough for Teryl\u2019s liking and she says, \u201cOh for God\u2019s sake, get over here!\u201d While waiting, someone says that this is the gentleman\u2019s father\u2019s day gift, so Teryl asks him how old his child is. \u201cTwo in June? I have a six month old today! She turns six months today!\u201d Did anyone know that Teryl had a baby?! I didn\u2019t! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n What has been your favorite role to play?<\/em> \u201cOh, hands down Janet. I love<\/em> \u2013 how can you not love her? She was just so much fun, and seven years for her. Although I have to say, for those of you who have not seen the show it\u2019s called Kyle XY, and it ran for three seasons, and then they cancelled us after three. But the character I played was so<\/em> far removed from Janet Fraiser, it was hysterical. She walked around with a highlighter (choosing her words carefully) stuck up her bum. Oh dear! (To whichever MC was at the side of the stage) I\u2019ve told you, you should have a sign that warns people bringing children under the age of 16! She was pretty up tight, Amanda Bloom, or no, I was Carol Bloom, my daughter was Amanda. But she was fun. Did you see the episode where she got drunk? Oh my gosh that was so much fun. Now you should haven the outtakes on that! <\/em>That was a lot of fun. So yes, I much prefer Janet. I miss her.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Tell us about Terleen and Minnie! <\/em>\u201cYou better ask her that same thing on Sunday! For you newbies, do you have any idea what she\u2019s talking about? No? I mean I know everybody else does. We had these alter egos, Amanda and I, because we play such straight, serious kind of characters, right? I mean anytime you saw Fraiser somebody was dying or somebody was coming through the gate that had to be dealt with, and Amanda had to solve something all the time. So we would have these alter ego <\/span>characters just for fun, because we\u2019re SOOOO<\/em> unlike our characters. We were Minnie and Terleen. We took our names \u2013 isn\u2019t this juvenile? But it\u2019s so fun to be a kid! \u2013 That\u2019s the best thing about being an actor, if any of you are aspiring to be one, it\u2019s the best because you never <\/span>have to grow up! Ask Christopher Judge! So, because she was Amanda, we decided to call her Minnie, and because I was Teryl we called her Terleen, and for some reason we just thought we had to talk like this, so we were Minnie and Terleen, and we were going to the Narvell School of Beauty. <\/span>And we were taking hair dressing, and we\u2019d go on and on. She\u2019d say, \u2018Hey, Terleen! How\u2019d you do on that whole frosted tips section?\u2019 I\u2019d say, \u2018We\u2019ll I did mighty fine, but I just ruined my permanents! It was oh! There was smoke coming! We\u2019d just keep going on and on. And then they\u2019d say, \u2018ok, places! Lets\u2019 go!\u2019 and they\u2019d have the sound, and we\u2019d have to go from (in the accent) Minnie and Terleen to (snaps her fingers and drops the accent) \u2018I don\u2019t know, sir. It\u2019s an educated guess.\u2019 Weird! It was just weird. And fun!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n How\u2019s the baby, and how\u2019s <\/em>that new job going? <\/em> <\/span>\u201cOh, she is \u2013 do we have moms in the audience? Isn\u2019t it the best? Actually, where is that lovely lady that asked whether I preferred the Carol Bloom role or the Janet Fraiser? I honestly have to say I think the mom role is truly the best role I have taken on in my life. It was totally unexpected. I really truly thought I was in early menopause. I know you\u2019re laughing, but seriously I did! I thought, \u2018what is going on? Why do I feel so sick<\/em>?\u2019 I thought there was something wrong. I didn\u2019t know why <\/em>I was feeling so sick, and somebody said to me \u2013 ok the father said to me (laughs) \u2013 \u2018honey, you tend to be an emotional person to begin with, and very up and down and big, but can I just say you\u2019ve been even more<\/em> emotional these days?\u2019 And he\u2019s trying to really walk on eggshells, that poor man. And he said, \u2018have you thought, maybe you\u2019re pregnant.\u2019 And I was like, (loud and angrily) I am not pregnant! <\/em><\/strong>What do you mean, \u2018am I pregnant\u2019? <\/em>and he said maybe you should just get the te\u2014\u2018 \u2018I can\u2019t to the test!<\/em>\u2019 Well, I did the test, and I didn\u2019t have my glasses on, so literally I walked in with the stick and was like, (very agitated) \u2018It\u2019s ok, here\u2019s the box, here\u2019s the instructions, read this, look at the window, what\u2019s happening?\u2019 He\u2019s trying to be so calm, bless him, I just love him to bits. He said, (hesitantly) \u2018Well, ah honey. According to the instructions and the window, um, you\u2019re pregnant.\u2019 And I said to him, (still agitated) \u2018No! it can\u2019t be. It\u2019s screwed up! You know what, I bought two for one at Costco, I\u2019m going to do it again!\u2019 Verbatim, I swear to you! I\u2019m not making this up! I did again and I said, \u2018NOW what does it say?\u2019 and he went \u2018well uh, honey, it\u2019s a little brighter than the first one, but it\u2019s still a pink plus sign, so yeah, you\u2019re pregnant.\u2019 So that\u2019s how I found out. And as I say she is six months today and she is absolutely the joy of my life. I am loving it immensely. She\u2019s great.\u201d Look out world, here comes another Teryl!<\/span><\/span> Did anything ever gross you out? \u201c <\/em>You know what, it\u2019s really weird. The only thing that ever really grossed me out was when \u2013 and I think this was season one \u2013 do you guys remember, was it \u2018Tin Man\u2019 <\/span>where I stuck my hand in . . . \u201c <\/span>Teryl was making a motion like she was putting her hand into her stomach, and I knew right away what she meant, so I started shouting \u201cHathor!\u201d Those fans who know me personally are well aware that I pride myself on my trivia knowledge, and I was positive I was right. As the loudest one, I\u2019m almost certain Teryl\u2019s gaze was centered right on me as she said, \u201cIt was \u2018Hathor\u2019 where I stuck my hand in Richard\u2019s gut? (Incredulously) That was \u2018Hathor\u2019?! [I shouted \u201cYES!\u201d while other fans agreed with me] What the hell was I doing in his gut in \u2018Hathor\u2019? [I shouted, \u201cShe tried to make him her new Jaffa!\u201d] Oooh! That\u2019s right! He was a Jaffa! Bless you, thank you for remembering! [I turned bright red] That was really gross! Because they had to make this goop that they out in this little fake tummy thing that I had to go inside of. I won\u2019t say the name of the restaurant, but what they used was <\/span>– (a floor light on the stage pops on right next to Teryl \u2013 she must have bumped the on switch) Ops, the light just came on. (Retreating back to the middle of the stage) It was the restaurant owner that flicked that light on. Um, they used this stuff that they make milkshakes with <\/span>– (some fans go \u201ceew\u201d) I know, gross huh!? She asked what was gross! This was gross! So it was like this syrupy kind of stuff, and the mixed it up so it was like this honey goopy kind of stuff, that and that was what was gross because they wanted it so that when I went in I had to get my hand in it, and when I pulled my hound out of it they wanted that trial of droplets, like honey. That<\/em> was really really gross. \u201c<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n As anyone ever asked you medical things while you were playing the role of a doctor? <\/em>This question was worded much more awkwardly than this, and Teryl got a little confused. \u201cI was going to say, I have an honorary doctorate from so many shows, which one? Do you mean about health? Has anyone ever asked you for medical advice?<\/em> <\/span>No, but you know what\u2019s interesting, I get sometimes, and this is true! In some of the fan mail there\u2019s almost a psychology kind of thing. I\u2019ll get asked certain things about choices that people what to make, which is fascinating! I think it\u2019s the whole lab coat. <\/span>I mean if they ever saw me like this they\u2019d never <\/em>want my advice! But I think it is! There\u2019s just something about that lab coat that they think you\u2019re a power of authority and you should know. I have lab coat syndrome. I can\u2019t watch surgeries when they do that stuff on TV. Or if there\u2019s a cut, I\u2019m \u2013 honestly I will faint. It\u2019s horrible. So no, nobody\u2019s ever asked me for advice.\u201d<\/span><\/span> After that, my hand gave out. I\u2019ve experienced hand cramps before, but nothing like this. Actually, considering Teryl was the fourth guest appearance of the day, with only one 1 hour break during which I ran up to my room to update the blog, I was surprised my writing hand lasted as long as it did! On top of that, my camera battery died at the same time, so I could even take enough pictures to use to jog my memory! So, I had to resort to shortening my short hand even further. This means I still have Teryl\u2019s responses to questions she was asked, but I can\u2019t put it all in her words, and I don\u2019t have all the questions written out. Here we go!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Teryl said that the needle jab that she gives Amanda Tapping at the beginning of \u2018Foothold\u2019 was payback for teasing she had received. <\/span><\/p>\n Teryl had to wear \u201cpicture shoes\u201d with a three inch heal every time she had to stand next to Richard Dean Anderson in a scene. They had a nickname, too: The \u201cFraiser Spice Boots\u201d! This story prompted Teryl to try and find someone who was shorter than her. She found a 13 year old boy in the question line, and this kid had no fear! Teryl pulled him up on stage and started chatting with him. He gave her grief, but you could tell Teryl was having fun! I think she was actually trying to get him to react, but he stayed cooler than a cucumber! He said he wants to be an actor, and when Teryl asked him why he said shortly, \u201cBecause I already act.\u201d I really wish I could have gotten down more of this conversation, because it was so funny!<\/em> Eventually Teryl called the kid \u201ccheeky\u201d and sent him off.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Teryl mentioned \u201cThe Graduate\u201d, a movie coming out in theaters in the next few months. I didn\u2019t take down the context. It\u2019s possible that she\u2019s going to be in it!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Someone asked about pranks, and Teryl told us a story that I will repeat in as much detail as I can. You know those times were you see Janet running into the gate room for an emergency? Apparently the directors were pretty insistent that Teryl really run, so in order to get up to any speed while still in heals, Teryl told us that she would use one of the halls just off of the gate room to work her way up to speed, and then when she actually reached the blast door she\u2019d be coming in at a good clip. On one such occasion, Chris Judge, the infamous prankster, snuck up on Teryl and grabbed the bottom of her lab coat. Teryl started running on cue, and then realized she wasn\u2019t going anywhere! She showed us how she beat him off, turning half way around and swinging an arm at him. I doubt it really did much good, but he did let go. Teryl ran for the gate room and was huffing and puffing, all flustered when she got there! Teryl also said that she didn\u2019t play pranks on others, just had them played on her.<\/span><\/span> When asked if she had a favorite memory from her time on Stargate SG-1, Teryl couldn\u2019t do it, saying that \u201cthere were too many to name just one\u201d. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Teryl said that her favorite part of stage acting is that everything is in sequence, \u201cand you get to rehearse!\u201d <\/span><\/span> I hope you\u2019ve enjoyed reading about Teryl as much as I enjoyed getting to see her once again! I find both her portrayal of Janet Fraiser and her own personality to be wonderfully inspiring, and I have yet to make it though \u2018Heroes Part 2\u2019 without shedding a tear. I hope the day will never come when I can sit through it with dry eyes because that in itself will be a sad day for me. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n If anyone who attended Teryl\u2019s appearance at Vancouver \u201809 would like to help me fill in the holes caused by my hand cramps, please let me know! I know everyone<\/em> will appreciate it!<\/span><\/span> If you looked up the word \u201cbubbly\u201d in the dictionary, you would find a picture of Teryl Rothery. Of course you would also find her under \u201cflirt\u201d, as you will see. I have had the pleasure of seeing Teryl three times now. She attended Chicago twice, though the second time she almost didn\u2019t make it.

\nWhat are you working on now? <\/em>\u201cI\u2019m up for two roles right now, and we\u2019re just waiting to hear, so hopefully you will be seeing me very soon. But essentially the last episode of The Guard I was in, I had the baby two weeks after that. I know, it was insane. And then I had London, and then I was back to work a week later doing some voice work, and then I did Smallville again. That was just a whole lot of fun. And then it\u2019s just been mostly voice stuff. Doing that and doing directing and choreographing. I\u2019m still tap dancing a lot and teaching, and choreographing different shows and doing the behind the scenes stuff right now, because it also gives me more time to be at home. But as I say I\u2019m hoping at least one of these two jobs comes through (waves crosses fingers at us). It\u2019d be fun to get in front of the camera again.\u201d The woman asking the question says, \u201cMy husband will be happy to see you again.\u201d \u201cWill he? But my bum will be covered! (laughs) Do tell him I appreciate that though, very much!\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\nA fan comes up and tells Teryl about a website that has video of Teryl from various shows and movies. He said it\u2019s called \u201cTeryl Rothery Pack\u201d but it\u2019s not coming up on my Google search. Does anyone know about this? If not, don\u2019t feel bad. Neither does Teryl! \u201cYou see I don\u2019t do computers either!\u201d He tells her that they have footage from Totally Awesome, a TV movie comedy that aired in 2006. \u201cOh my God! That\u2019s on it too?\u201d \u201cYeah! When you were on the set, were you like goofing around all the time?\u201d \u201cIt was absolutely insane<\/em>. The guy who directed used to co-write with Dave Chappelle and was one of the guys on the Dave Chappelle show. <\/span>So he would just give you license to do whatever, so you would just go way <\/em>over the top. <\/span>Because they were really caricatures. Christopher Tan, if any of you are familiar with him from Saturday Night Live, he was the star of it, and we were just over the top. It was just again one of the most fun sets to be on. Everybody just played. And we\u2019d get reined in when we adlibbed stuff, and they decided if they were going to keep it, but it was a blast, an absolute blast.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\nTeryl was asked, if you weren\u2019t acting, what do you think you would be doing now? \u201cI would be a veterinarian, I think. I can\u2019t think of who else would hire me!\u201d<\/span><\/span>
\nSomeone asked Teryl, since the cast became so much like a family, if she kept in touch with them after Janet was killed. Teryl said she had stayed in contact with Don Davis the best, and I can tell you that if you ever heard Don talk about Teryl, you could tell how much he cared about her and valued her friendship. Teryl also said that sometimes they would gather for holidays like Thanksgiving, usually at Chris Judge\u2019s house because his house is the biggest.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\nFinally, here\u2019s some quick trivia for those who love theater: Teryl Rothery has played Kate in Taming of the Shrew<\/em>, and Louise in Kiss Me Kate<\/em>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\nNext, Saturday kicks off with the first of our three Atlantis boys! Let\u2019s see . . . he\u2019s a doctor, he has a sweet accent, and<\/em> a sweet personality! What\u2019s not to love about Paul McGillion?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
