Patricia Skeriotis

Written by D.B. Brooks and Anthony L. Greene and directed by Julia Jordan, this episode guest stars Jenna Dee and Cole Winkler as Cass and Harry, two people who signed up to Black Tie Knights whom Olivia (Amy Lindsay) has matched together. But instead of setting them up on a regular date, she’s managed to get the two of them hired for a day as extras on a popular soap opera. This was arranged through Olivia’s friendship with Drake (Russ Orso), the lead actor of the soap opera. She agrees to let him use their services for free in exchange for him getting Cass and Harry on the show.

Aria plays Margot, the co-lead actor on the show. We see Cass and Harry meet and shoot a scene with Drake and Aria. Cass and Harry hit it off and talk about going on a date after they finish shooting, but then, during a break, Cass thinks she hears Harry and Margot having sex in a backstage dressing room, and this turns her off. This leads to Cass later forgetting her lines and throwing a drink in Harry’s face when they film their next scene. But it turns out to be a big misunderstanding; Margot was having sex with Drake, not Harry. So Cass apologizes, and the two get together after the show.

This was a simple little story that was enjoyable enough. But I have to say that none of the actors were particularly memorable, which is probably why none of them had long careers (it’s the only credit for Russ and Cole, and just 1 of 3 for Jenna, while Aria was a hardcore porn star). But the sex scenes were good, so that’s what mostly matters.

As for the regular cast, despite supposedly cutting him off in the last episode, Olivia gets a phone call from Charley (Drake Dorado), and the two of them hook up again, although she still insists she doesn’t want to date anyone right now. It’s obvious at this point that she’ll end up with him, so I hate how the writers are dragging this out. But this is the hottest sex scene these two actors have filmed so far.

The biggest disappointment is the appearance of actress Patricia Skeriotis. I loved her in DREAM MASTER: THE EROTIC INVADER, so I was looking forward to seeing her in another softcore production, but she doesn’t have a sex scene or even get naked.  What a waste!

She plays Edwina, a woman who Ryan goes out with, on Olivia’s recommendation, in order to make Cooper (Tiffany Hendra) jealous so that she’ll finally admit that she’s ready to be in an official relationship with him. And it works. So, at least they’ve finally settled that. Plus, Cooper and Ryan have a shot sex scene in a shower.

Chacebook rating: FOUR STARS
