The lead up to the long......

Another great start to the week, so beautiful. Everything is great this week because after working two 6 day weeks in a row, we got a 3 day long week-end for the Canadian thanksgiving, woo hoo!

 

Hahaha, sorry, wrong holiday!

Well, this should be fun. I got a YVR pass to go out on the runway.....

....to pick-up Dr. Wolke (Noah Galvin), who came in from California on a private jet. Nice!

The set of the show the Midnight Club, which was filming beside our stages, has finally been dismantled....

.....one day later, the next show to film at the Bridge Studios has started construction.

Cast driving isn't all glamour, lol. On this night I had to take the dirty linens from the props department to the dry-cleaners.

Stop theif! This 3-legged racoon was out on the prowl by our stages on this night. (and I'm sure most nights when we are not there..)

Well, thank goodness this was not a real accident, just a picture car for another show at the Bridge studios.

The red light flashing at stage 3 means were still filming. (This time Friday was not a fraturday, actually got home jsut before midnight, lol.)

Meanwhile, junior is having fun with his new camera.

I get a notice from B.C. lottery when I win something, and it's usually this, sigh. One day........

Some shots from season 5 episode 2....

....I've enjoyed the first two....

.......oh oh, trouble a brewing from Salen, on the right...... (but she's such a nice person to drive....)

....ha ha ha, and some pics from the 3rd episode of season 5. I remember them hauling that barrel and those grapes up to the Glassman house, fun!

.....the invites.....

.....Dr. Murphy is not impressed.....

.....and that's how to end a week, Dr. Wolke and Dr. Allen killin' it, ya baby!

Quiet 6 day week......

Hanging outside, actually staying dry inside my cast vehicle outside of stage 9, at the Bridge Studios.

 

Another early cast pick-up, but it was beautiful looking out over the water by Kits Beach.

Next day outside the condo, the foggy and rainy morning must be signalling the transition from summer to fall and winter.

The trying to pry a window that will never open because it is part of a set on another show, pic.

Kelly, in charge of our snack truck, showing what appears to be one angry watermelon.

Hill Harper, who plays Dr. Andrews on the show decided that the entire crew needed Frosty's from Wendy's on this late evening. Much appreciated!

Last Saturday morning I was down by the convention centre waiting to pick-up a couple of guests of the show.

The Good Doctor himself had a visit from his parents. They spent some time on Salt Spring Island, and then flew in to Vancouver Harbour on a float plane. They flew out to London later that day.

The "Lions" were peeking above the North Shore Mountains.

Later that same day, it was a diffrent view of Burrard Inlet, waiting to pick-up Dr. Reznick.

A very generous gift to the cast and crew, and so early into season 5!

Another early morning cast pick-up, waiting with my ride at L'Hermitage on Richards.

On this sixth day Saturday of episode 5 of season 5 of the Good Doctor, all the action was outside of the emergency ward.

Dr. Reznick and Dr. Park are rarin' to go!

Production treated us to the Charlie Bar coffee truck. The ladies who own the truck were really showing the love!

...and not much action inside the ER ward. (Another sad selfie, lol.)

There goes fellow Teamster peep John, with his new ride. (Actually they were finished with the truck in the scene and he was moving it to picture car parking.)

Louie the caterer made me the menu model of the day! (Ya, I know we're spoiled.)

Meanwhile, one of our cast drivers from season 4, Eric, has decided chilling in Paraguay was more inviting then coming back for season 5. Good on him!

3 down, 17 to go.

Well, back to to pre-covid traffic. (I think school being back in has something to do with it as well. ) This was my commute on Kingsway heading downtown for a cast pick-up.

 

A quick glimpse of Mt. Baker before I head out for another day on the Good Doctor. Currently, we are working on the 4th episode of season 5.

Meanwhile at the Bridge studios, another show is getting in the Christmas spirit.

Beautiful morning looking out over Burrard Inlet as I am once again waiting to pick-up Dr. Reznick.

Where's Waldo?

The Good Doctor himself pointed out to me that I was going to emergency for surgery on this day. Huh, I wish someone would of let me know. (This surgery schedule computer monitor was in one of the scenes in the ER on stage 9)

The random, can't remember where this was, leaf hanging by a spider web, pic.

I had to ask the grip brothers what these plexiglass panels were used for. (apparently used for unique camera shots)

On this night there was a little action outside of the emergency ward....

Hey! I work for the Good Doctor, don't you know who I think I am? I can park my new ride in the San Jose Saint Bonaventure hospital bus stop if I want to!

Waiting to pick-up a guest star, on this day I found myself very close to Science World.

Without giving anything away, pay attention to that little X at the very top of stage 4. It may or may not be clear when you see the end of episode 504.

You can stare at it all you want, but it wont make sense until you see the episode, so stay tuned!

Did I just see a ghost, walking on the set of the thriller series Midnight Club? I think I did!

A private joke between Dr. Reznick, Dr. Lim and myself, I'll leave it at that.........

Waiting for guests of the show to arrive, I had a birds-eye view of YVR arrivals, including the covid testing area. 

A rainy wait  for cast at the Sutton Place hotel. Always have the purple gum ready. (comes highly recommended by Dr. Glassman.)

Time to take the film drives to the download place. This was the last day of episode 503. (...and we're 5 days into 504 already.)

I was like a hawk, watching the hawk watching me at Deer Lake last week-end.

The after the heavy rain, water soaked terra firma along the boardwalk, pic.

A much needed soaking, to be sure.

.....and there was many fungus among us as well........

I asked for a printed vaccine passport, and it came.....

.....random, things cast drivers are sent to get for catering, pic.......

Fiona (Dr. Reznick) is always posting "interesting" pics on Instagram. (I was lucky? enough to bring her into work on that day, yikes!)
