Welcome fans of Kelly Overton!
On Thursday June 18, 2021 we were afforded the honor to interview Kelly Overton just prior to the final four episode of the Van Helsing series, three of which broadcast on last night on Friday June 18, 2021 featuring Ms. Overton.
This was subsequent to her return to the series in “The Doorway” episode broadcast a couple of weeks ago to much acclaim from the millions of followers of this superb science fiction fantasy series that has captivated Dracula fans around the world!
We first became aware of Ms. Overton starring as Vanessa in the Van Helsing series when Team WHR attended the San Diego Comic Con Van Helsing panel in 2016 that was produced by Chad Oakes and Mike Frislev of Nomadic Pictures in association with Dynamic Television.
Since that time members of our team and Dracula mythology lovers from around the world have tweeted their hearts out supporting Kelly and the Van Helsing series virtually every week with very few exceptions since the series began it’s successful five year run on SYFY in the United States in September 2016.
Ms. Overton, who took a brief period of time off for personal reasons, has appeared in fifty-three of the sixty-five episodes to our absolute delight!
Prior to that time, we have enjoyed Kelly’s performances in many television series including Legends, True Blood, Beauty and the Beast, Tekken, and many other career accomplishments in her over two decades within the entertainment industry.
In 2020, while taking time away from the series for family reasons, Kelly, in 2019 began her role as co-executive producer for the Van Helsing series to ensure the fourth and fifth seasons stayed faithful to the story arc originally envisioned by series creator Neil LaBute.
In this regard, Kelly Overton was quite successful as an executive co-producer when the Van Helsing series pivoted to the discovery of two Van Helsing series children that she (we) never knew she had.
Kelly worked tirelessly behind the scenes to guide the production as an executive co-producer that featured her two daughters, Jack and Violet, portrayed by Nicole Muñoz and Keeya King respectively.
In this way, Kelly was always involved with the Van Helsing series even if we did not see her on screen.
Returning to her starring role in season five as Vanessa, Kelly’s fans around the world went wild when Vanessa reappeared in the flesh in “The Doorway“!
During this exciting episode Vanessa battled her own dark side to become ready to (hopefully) defeat the common enemy of all humankind, The Dark One, Dracula (Tricia Helfer) in the series finale broadcasting this Friday on June 25, 2021 on SYFY!

It was during “The Graduate” production when she met her her future husband, Judson Pearce Morgan, who was a member of the cast of along with Alicia Silverstone.
