Rizzoli and Isles set visit

Last week Leeann and I headed to the Rizzoli and Isles set for a press event. I lucked out because I had the day off from work post-Legoland/work trip. I was so excited because Rizzoli and Isles is one of my favorite shows. There is nothing I love more than a good police drama! We asked Bruce McGill what three words he would use to describe season 5 and he said, "Rich, full, satisfying!" With Jane's pregnancy, Maura's new love interest, and plenty of crazy crimes it sounds like season 5 is going to be the best one yet!

The new season starts tomorrow, Tuesday June 17, at 9 P.M. on TNT.

I was able to get a sneak peak of the first two episodes of the upcoming season. Have tissues ready. I wasn't sure how they would handle the untimely death of cast member Lee Thompson Young. I watched every episode of The Famous Jett Jackson and I remember being so excited when Lee Thompson Young was cast on Flash Forward and then Rizzoli and Isles. I don't want to give any details away from these two episodes but the funeral scene was so emotional and really honored Lee Thompson Young and the character he played, Detective Barry Frost.

Angie Harmon was so funny. She had everyone laughing! Not only did she take a photo with us but she told us to tag her in our photos and then she retweeted them on her Twitter

I am a HUGE Dawson's Creek fan so meeting Sasha Alexander was pretty amazing. Pacey's sister! I loved Sasha on NCIS too. It was interesting to hear Sasha talk about her character's love life (post-Frankie kiss and a potential NEW love interest) and the shenanigans that Maura and Jane will be getting in this season! Maura might be "funking it up" a bit more fashion wise. Can't wait to see what that means!

Jordan Bridges is even more handsome and charming in person! He took photos of me and Leeann (see below) and then took a selfie of us (using my camera, not iphone, which is not easy!)

There were two themed drinks: The Rizzoli and the Isles

Jan Nash did a quick photo shoot of us in the interrogation room. No handcuffs involved!

It is clear that everyone on the cast and crew loved Lee Thompson Young. Detective Barry Frost's outstanding service award is still hanging on the wall

Don't forget to tune in tomorrow night Tuesday June 17, at 9 P.M. on TNT to watch the premiere of season 5!
