Teen Wolf and the Twins

Three cheers now that MTV'S Teen Wolf has been green-lighted for a fifth season.  This was great news to the cast who were at Comic Con 2014 this week.  And while I was a little worried the series was getting a little too dark and going off in a strange way last season, the fun is back in season four and a new set of characters are being introduced to keep the show fresh, including a werewolf pup.  

The series has a way of going through characters, yet the stars have been successful in finding their way to new shows.  For example, Colton Haynes did well after leaving the show an is now a regular on the CW's Arrow.   And that brings me to another set of characters - twins Max and Charlie Carver who played brothers Aiden and Ethan.  As brothers, they had a unique role playing two parts of a big, bad werewolf.  And while they were on the wrong side most of the time, they had no problems with romantic entanglements with the good guys.  

Well, the twins are gone in season four of Teen Wolf (one died, like Colton, and the other left town).  And now they are starring in season one of HBO's The Leftovers.  I am just starting to get into this new series, but one thing I can say is that the Carver brothers, playing Adam and Scott Frost, are the only bright spot in the first few episodes of the dreary program.  

Most of the teens in The Leftovers are moping and destructive, whereas the adults are damaged and dangerous.  And in comes the Carver twins, smiling and trying to get a date with girls.  It gives you a little bit of hope that some people survived the disappearance of two percent of humanity with a little bit of their soul and humor intact.  

I am not sure how many roles will come up for twins in the future, but they have done well with the openings (I did not even mention their work in Desperate Housewives).  I only hope they stay with The Leftovers as two hopeful characters.  Without them, the series has a bleak future.
