Bridesmaid Up! Thu 12/13, 9:00pm-10:00pm

WEDDING BELLS RING — When Catherine's (Kristin Kreuk) dad (guest-star Rob Stewart) gets remarried, the bride-to-be and her bridesmaids try to find the daughter-of-the-groom a date for the wedding. Uncomfortable with being set up, Cat reluctantly admits that she's seeing somebody and confides to Vincent (Jay Ryan) that she wishes he could be her date. At the wedding reception, Cat learns about a research grant that Evan (Max Brown) received to study the mutant DNA cells found at local crime scenes. When she tells Vincent about Evan's theory of how the cells are changing to become more animal-like and less human, she encounters an unexpected detour that could change the course of their relationship. Meanwhile, Tess (Nina Lisandrello) and Joe (Brian White) cross the line romantically despite the fact that Joe is a married man. Mairzee Almas directed the episode written by Sherri Cooper and Jennifer Levin.

I am enjoying this drama so much more than I thought I would. The chemistry between Vincent and Catherine jumps off the screen and seems so real. The "I want you, but it is too dangerous" scenes have not gotten on my nerves yet because they are played so well.

There was an amusing scene in this episode that I did not anticipate. The bride's maids were pressuring Catherine to bring a date to the wedding and made her feel like a loser for not having a date. At the reception, the ladies admitted their relationships were all in shambles and started to cry. What a mess!

Since this is a cop drama, there was a murder involved. Matchmaker tried to shoot Catherine after deliberately rear-ending her car. Catherine shot her, but Cat was injured in the crash. Vincent pulled her from the car just as Evan and Cat's sister show up.

That final scene sets up some interesting possibilities for the return of the show on January 24. I think Evan is going to figure out the relationship between Catherine and his DNA specimen. I like Evan and I think he can help them.

The only thing I do not like is that they call her "Cat".

Please tell me this show has been cancelled. What tripe. Bad stories, bad acting.

No, Dearie, in spite of me being the only one watching it, this show has not been cancelled. As usual, the CW loaded it with pretty people and that is probably the biggest attraction.
