The Deal with ABC's New RomCom 'Mixology'

ABC wants you to make a date with Mixology, its new series about a group of singles who find themselves in the same bar on the same evening. One of them is Jessica, the single mother played by Alexis Carra. BFTV recently spoke with Alexis to get the scoop on Mixology and where on the network you've seen her before.

"It is really a romantic comedy with a twist," she said. "It's about ten singles that end up in a bar. Some of us come alone and some of us come with our friends. The series is about the mixing and mingling, and it's a question of who ends up with who, and what each character learns about themselves. It takes place in one night, and each character has flashbacks, so the audience learns how they came to be [there]."

"We've shot everything," she added. "I definitely am forbidden to share any kind of pairings, but I will say I think episode three is one of my favorite episodes, and where the audience will get to see the heart of the show and the characters."

Valentine’s Day, for all its pageantry and commercialism, is always a good time of year to revisit some of the great films out there with a primarily romantic bent. Some of these are more comedy than romance, and others have sci-fi, musical or sports-related twists, but every one of them is an excellent film in its own right that your boyfriend, husband or otherwise male object of interest probably wouldn’t mind watching this Valentine’s Day.
