Lindsay made a couple of guest appearances on two dramas for the Lifetime Channel. (These episodes will be repeated, see the schedule below for times and dates.) She had a guest spot on the Lifetime drama "Any Day Now", where she played the role of Henrietta, a school bully. She was next on the show "Strong Medicine", where she played a patient, Margie Sinowski, who had to battle not only weight problems but the discriminatory hiring practices of Rittenhouse Hospital. Both performances were excellent, but of course, that goes without saying . . .

Lindsay also appeared as a celebrity on the FX show "The Test", where she and three others answered various questions pertaining to humility . . . .

Take the Humility Test!

On the show "The Test", Lindsay answered 10 questions regarding humility. She scored a 65 (on a scale of 0 to 100) on this "test", meaning that she is apparently a relatively humble person. You can take the test online and see how you compare . . . .

LINDSAY HOLLISTER ON TV:

Lindsay will be making appearances on these upcoming television programs:

Lindsay has a guest spot on an upcoming new series for the Showtime Network, called "Going to California". The exact air date(s) have not yet been determined, but I will post the information here when I receive it . . .

Here is a partial summary of Chapter 10 of "Boston Public", I believe this is the first episode with Christine Banks (correct me if I'm wrong):

Kevin recruits an overweight female student, nicknamed The Blob, for the wresting team when he realizes that she beat up 3 male students who were making fun of her. The Blob's father is worried that being the only girl on the wrestling team will only make things worse, but Kevin defends his actions and disagrees with the father. The Blob tries out for the team and handily defeats the teammate in her weight class to gain a position on the team. In the locker room before the meet the next night, The Blob tells her father she can be a good wrestler and she's not embarrassed; it's only humiliating for the father.

Kevin's plan works perfectly, and The Blob gains the admiration and respect of her teammates as she drops her opponent to the mat. Meanwhile, her father looks on proudly when the crowd and her teammates cheer her on and enthusiastically support her victory.

One note: Her name is Christine, not "The Blob". This is explained in Chapter 12!

Here a recent article that appeared on the show's school website, Holt45.com:

Banks Is Money

Victory tastes sweeter than a Twinkie for Winslow junior Christine Banks (aka "The Blob"). Banks used her titanic size and strength to outmuscle her 220 lb. male opponent in today's heavyweight wrestling match against South Boston. For Banks, making mince meat out of the Southie slug was no piece of chocolate cake (meaning lots of wrestling and sweating before eating the cake). In the twelve-minute struggle, Banks all but averted breaking a fingernail and snagging her L'eggs stockings. Hundreds of rowdy spectators were on hand to witness the historic event (and I'm NOT talking about a run in the XXL nylons). Banks became the first Winslow gal ever to win an interscholastic grappling bout.

My ever-so-anonymous sources tell me that Christine was coerced to join the team by Coach Kevin Riley. Apparently Riley caught wind of the butt-kicking Banks laid on a few teasing bullies and practically begged her to save his suffering team. Incidentally, has Riley ever had a winning team? After cracking a can of whoop-ass on hotshot wrestler Jimmy Donchey, Banks wowed the Winslow team and was brought up to the big leagues for her first heavyweight match.

Christine Banks certainly isn't the first female to claw her way into the aggressive sport of wrestling. The 1980s delivered Lee Press On's, Speed Metal, and G.L.O.W.---the Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling. In the 1990s testosterone tackled estrogen when Chyna and her entourage of WWF divas climbed into the commercial ring. And now, girls have finally raised the sport to another level. Banks is a part of a cultural revolution: hordes of girls from around the country are shedding stereotypes of decades past and taking their athleticism, and aggression, to the mats. For Queen Christine, the ring is her new domain and her imposing stature-- a huge asset-- demands respect. Girls just like Christine Banks are donning the grappling garb to make a powerful statement to the world---bring it to the ring. You go, girls.
