Jacqueline Grace Lopez is back—not on General Hospital (well, not yet)—but she’s tapping into her comedic era in a brand-new short episodic series. Lopez, who scored her first Daytime Emmy nomination during her run as Blaze, is living her sitcom fantasy with the great Bill Nye. Class is back in session!
Bill Nye heads into the lab to explore the science behind Friedreich ataxia (FA), a rare neuromuscular disease affecting more than 5,000 people in the United States. Episode 2 is a short, animated educational segment that explains the impact of FA on the nervous system. The video uses humor and an approachable “Science Guy” character to break down a complex medical concept in a fun, digestible way.
The episode opens with Lopez playing a character having a humorous conversation with her boyfriend, Justin, as she breaks up with him. Apparently, he hasn’t been listening. He is constantly distracted, and to make matters worse, his phone goes off, pulling his attention away, yet again. Frustrated, Lopez storms out the door, making her point loud and clear.
Enter Bill, who highlights that what we’re seeing here is a failure to communicate. From there, he heads to the lab and demonstrates what happens between the nervous system, the brain, and muscles—how communication works on a cellular level and what goes wrong in FA.
