Coincidentally, the current lead in ABC's Station 19 is Jaina Lee Ortiz, who co -starred in
Morris ' last show, Rosewood. The producers have hinted at the eventual beginning of a relationship between her and Boris Kodjoe.
More "will they won't they" lol! I swear these writers need to come up with something new
Oh for real? @SilverSmith are you keeping up with "Station 19"? When I would have "Station 19" on in the background during it's 1st season last year, Jaina Lee Ortiz's lead character was romantically involved with another dude.
EDIT:
Yeah, she's a looker.
Her character is presently seeing someone. Little by little, however, she's catching feelings for the new fire station captain, her widowed supervisor (Boris).
LOL, Sounds about right. I'm with @qaz1, if they get together I'll tune in.

I watched the first 10 minutes of last night's episode and saw none of that.
But that may just be because I only watched 10 minutes. They spent most of that time chasing a guy across a rooftop.
Watching episode 4 of "The Enemy Within" that aired a couple weeks ago right now. Jennifer Carpenter's character trolled Kelli Garner's character by implying another female character in the office might be comforting Morris Chestnut's character by letting him smash. Kelli Garner definitely felt some way about the troll & had Jennifer Carpenter escorted out of the office by the guards.
Since nobody posted the trailers, I'm posting it now:

I'll admit I had little interest in the show despite its premise until I caught this recent casting news:
https://deadline.com/2018/09/godfat...epix-drama-series-forest-whitaker-1202471681/
Kelvin Harrison Jr. (It Comes at Night) and Lucy Fry (Bright) have been cast in Godfather of Harlem, Epix’s straight-to-series crime drama starring and executive produced by Forest Whitaker. The series hails from Narcos co-creator Chris Brancato and Paul Eckstein and ABC Signature Studios. Vincent D’Onofrio, Ilfenesh Hadera, Antoinette Crowe-Legacy and Nigél Thatch also star.
Written and executive produced by Brancato and Eckstein, Godfather of Harlem is inspired by the story of infamous crime boss Bumpy Johnson (Whitaker), who in the early 1960s returned from 10 years in prison to find the neighborhood he once ruled in shambles. With the streets controlled by the Italian mob, Bumpy must take on the Genovese crime family to regain control. During the brutal battle, he forms an alliance with radical preacher Malcolm X (Thatch) – catching Malcolm’s political rise in the crosshairs of social upheaval and a mob war that threatens to tear the city apart.
Harrison will play Teddy Greene, a world-class musician who disdains a “pop” music mentality and experiments with music designed to herald the coming age of civil rights protest. His protest anthem is a harbinger of spoken-word music that truly explores the black experience in America. His dangerous romance with Stella Gigante (Fry) will test the limits of his love and put him in the crosshairs of New York City’s most dangerous mobster.
Fry’s Stella, the sheltered 22-year-old daughter of Vincent “Chin” Gigante, is effected by winds of change that foretell a turbulent 1960s. Her love of music takes her from East Harlem into the bohemian world of Greenwich Village and into the arms of African-American musician Teddy Greene. Coming from a family and community where interracial relationships are blasphemy, Stella has the courage to rebel against her father. But as Bumpy Johnson reminds her, Romeo and Juliet is really just two dumb kids who end up dead.
This sounds real good! And with some very good talented actors. All they need is for the script to be good and they could have something here. I loved Lucy Fry's character in BRIGHT.
Epix dropped the first teaser trailer for "Godfather of Harlem" a couple weeks ago:

She’s a fine mother flower.
I just read up on Bumpy. This dude had an affair with the editor of Vanity Fair back in the 30s. Her name was Helen Lawrenson. And she was the one going around telling it! Sometimes history is wild lol
I couldn't find a pic of them together, but here's one of her with her boss, Condé Nast, in 1937.
And here's an article she wrote about Bumpy. She was not shy about hers.
https://classic.esquire.com/article/1972/12/1/the-first-of-the-big-time-harlem-hustlers
This is probably the most interesting sentence of the article, as far as this board is concerned:
"I don’t want anyone to think that I used to sneak up to Harlem for assignations in the manner of many white women of that era, from Hollywood stars to anonymous New York socialites. There was nothing clandestine about my friendship with Bumpy."
Just to save some of you a trip to Google, an assignation is a secret lovers' meeting. You're welcome lol

I knew what assignations meant but I didn't know from what she is basically describing a club for famous white women to meet with black men? I would like to know more about that and were these affairs or relationships these white women were having.

Facts! expand on that please
I get you. I put that definition there because I had to look it up myself lol.
I'm interested to know more about that myself. My thinking is that Lawrenson was a women super connected to the "scene" in that era. She was a taste maker; it was her business to know what was going on. If anyone knew the real score for something like that, I imagine it would be her. So when she says there were lots of stars and socialites sneaking up to Harlem for a walk on the wild side, I'm inclined to believe.
I get the sense they were more short term flings and one night stands, because they wouldn't be sneaking if they were long-term relationships. Though I assume some of them would've had longer term situations if it wasn't so taboo.
I don't really know much more. But my educated guess is that these women were coming to Harlem in general. They probably (as Hollywood stars and rich socialites) hit up the latest hot spots and met the black men at those spots. I assume (and Lawrenson all but says) the reason they went there was because of the men who also went there.
It's like in college when you hit up white sorority parties because you knew the type of women you'd meet there lol.
Of course if a couple hit it off they could make whatever other arrangements worked for them (like you and that sorority girl lol).
