#AlexOLoughlin Filming #H50 Epi 9:10 & Epi 9:11

Two of my favourite episodes of Season 9 were all about McGarrett and his story with Joe.

First Joe’s death and then Joe’s revenge.

We never posted the pictures that were taken while it was filmed.

Here is a look back to that time…

BTS Hawaii Five-0 Episode 9:10

• From Hawaii Five-0 CBS Instagram account:

hawaiifive0cbs  Have you ever seen anything cuter than McGarrett and this horse? #H50

Alex and animals always make the greatest moments

Such a cute smile from Alex on the back.

A bleeding McGarrett always tugs at our heartstrings.

In honor of Hawaii Five-0’s very last episode, I am posting a throwback pic of the time I met the cast and crew while they filmed at my house, including the pup-loving Hawaii resident from Oz, Alex O’Loughlin. At the time, my folks were trying to socialize me by introducing me to as many people as possible. It was a bonus that the throngs of people I got to meet this day were the cool crew and cast members of @hawaiifive0cbs. Best wishes to everyone from the show. Much aloha.🌺 #jackrussellterrier #jackrussell #jrt #jackrussellpuppy #jackrussellsofig #jackrussellsofinstagram #jackrussellmoments #jackrusselllove #dogstagram #dogsofinstagram #instadog #puppy #puppylove #808dogs #hawaiidog #hawaiidogs #dogsofhawaii #smalldog #terrier #h50 #tbt #throwbackthursday #throwback #alexoloughlin

#AlexOLoughlin celebrating with Chef Morimoto on his 60th – 2015

We continue with our picture posts of events that we never fully covered back when it happened.

In May 2015, Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto turned 60.

Alex and Malia attended the party.

Here are some pictures and memories of it.

First pictures shared by Honolulu Pulse:

“Iron Chef” Masaharu Morimoto enjoyed an early birthday party Sunday with a few friends from the cast of “Hawaii Five-0,” ukulele phenom Aidan James and others.

They enjoyed some tasty food and fine music.

Yes, I got to meet Alex O’Loughlin a.k.a. Steve McGarrett 😀 he was so so nice and down to earth. I will never watch Hawaii-Five-0 the same way! So many of the cast were there and they were all super gracious ☺️ #morimoto#morimotowaikiki#happybirthdaymorimoto#happybday#hawaiifive0#stevemcgarrett#alexoloughlin

Amanda Frazier:

• From Frolic Hawaii

@frolichawaii Good times & good friends at chef Morimoto’s birthday party! #H50

 

• You can read more about the event here in Poohkoo Hawaii:

Infiltrate “Morimoto Chef’s 60-year-old birthday party”!

On Sunday the 24th, the day before yesterday, the 60-year-old birthday party of “Chef Masaharu Morimoto”, who is familiar with Iron Chef, was held at ” Morimoto Waikiki “, and media VIP was also invited. A few members of Hawaii Five-0 also participated. This is because Morimoto has previously appeared in an episode of the show.

Alex O’Loughlin is with his wife, Malia Jones. He said he loves Hawaii very much. Probably because his wife is local.

Happy birthday, Iron Chef Morimoto

Many “Hawaii Five-0″ cast members celebrated with chef Morimoto last night. Alex O’Loughlin is trying my Sony QX100 camera, and Teilor Grubbs is photo bombing.It was nice to see some celebs I had interacted with previously, like Teilor Grubbs (who is now a teenager!); Arden Cho, whom I met while doing a minor appearance in “The Dressmaker’s Daughter;” and Aiden James, an ukulele star who was at the Ukulele Picnic last year.Congratulations and happy birthday, Iron Chef Morimoto! We’re looking forward to the next five years.

• And one more picture of the event from Teilor Grubbs on Instagram

Another post to update our archives with events in Alex’s life.

There are such a lot of pictures and information that we never  posted before. 

We do it in the hope that once Alex start something new with his career, that there will be many more new fans who would like to learn more about him …….

And of course to entertain his present fans and ourselves while we wait 🙂

#AlexOLoughlin with @JamesTaylor_com on the Set of #H50 – April 2013

In April 2013 singer James Taylor and his family visited the set of Hawaii Five-0.

They posted various pictures of the occasion.

These are the ones with Alex.

And that weekend Alex & Malia, and some of the other cast and crew also attended the James Taylor concert in Hawaii.

And there were some more pictures shared.

#AlexOLoughlin at the Season 2 #H50 Wrap Party – April 2012

As a follow up to the post of the First Hawaii Five-0 Wrap party ,  we want to share this one about the Season 2 Wrap party as well.

(Alex & Stuntwoman Tamiko at the Wrap Party)

 

This post has been in a draft here for ages, but never got finished ….. It is actually an old article by the late Christa Wittmier.

– The original article is unfortunately no longer available 

Honolulu weekly – 2012: What’s going on?

At the end of each season of Hawaii Five-0, the cast and crew attend a wrap party to finish their work for that season. We as viewers don’t get to see a lot about those events.

It is understandable, because it is a work event where people can let their hair down with their families and they might be restricted from posting too many pictures from it.

by Christa Wittmier

25 April  2012

The only night I managed to get anywhere was Sunday, which was one for the books. Cycle City hosted one of the best wrap parties yet that Hawaii Five-0 has had.

I didn’t even know you could do events there. They are pros. The place was transformed. Hogs were moved off the motorcycle showroom floors and replaced with cocktail tables and a stage.

Anuhea jammed to a hugely receptive crowd of almost 500 guests and I found myself spending way too much time staring across the room at an extremely attractive Alex O’Loughlin, laughing and talking with his crew.

I remember the first time I met him and he turned my hand over after shaking it to look at the tattoo on my wrist. He kept holding my hand as I told him how each star represented a different country that I had traveled to, and I found myself drawing out the story as long as I could so he wouldn’t let go. That is one sexy man.

Grace Park, Masi Oka, Taylor Willy and Daniel Dae Kim were also there with Executive Producer Peter Lenkrov to celebrate the wrap of Season 2.

For two years in a row, the scheduling was not in their favor as they all had to go to work super early the next morning but it didn’t stop them from dancing their faces off until the very end.

I seriously love those party monsters.

Congratulations on a great second season. I can’t wait to see who comes out to guest-star for Season 3 (please bring back Reggie; please bring back Reggie).

And some of the pictures shared from that evening:

(Again we are not sure about the original sources)

• Justin & DDK in front, with Alex at the back.

 

 

• And some more

Unfortunately there is also a sad part to this story, because Christa is no longer with us.

Christa passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 3, 2019, after a three and a half year battle with cancer, at her sister’s home in Hutchinson, MN at the age of 43 years.

The other sad part is that I could not find any picture of Christa and Alex together.

But as you can see she had a great  sense of humour, reflected in this next Twitter post.

• From Twitter in 2015

Never want to ask Alex for a photo but look- here's one we are kind of in together ! pic.twitter.com/Ej7976euMi

“Never want to ask Alex for a photo but look- here’s one we are kind of in together !”

The two of them are in 2 different pictures on the same newspaper page, but on top of each other. 🙂

 

Over the years Christa was regularly seen in pictures with some of the other cast and crew members of Hawaii Five-0. She also made a few Social Media posts about them and Alex.

As a DJ she also provided music for a number of the Hawaii Five-0 events.

Here are some of those memories from her Instagram, Twitter & Facebook

they love alex so much and so do i. he always remembers me from even back in the day and sat next to me one time when i played a soldier in the lunch tent like “who let you in here!” and even stopped from his super-fast gotta-go walk out of the event to come back and say hi and tell me i looked so good and healthy. ….. he gets three..

aussie aussie aussie (do u know future classic? best label!)!!

supercw  Note Alex O’Loughlin’s bag 🙆

It says: “POW! WOW! HAWAI’I” written on Alex’s bag.  

Christa was a founding director for the POW! WOW!, Hawaii art festival and the creator of many popular signature events on Oahu.

supercw   pretty excited about tonight’s gig #h50 😊

 

It looks like Christa was DJ at the Season 3 Wrap Party in 2013. Unfortunately without any pictures from the event, we were never sure if Alex actually attended it. And we are not even sure if he ever attended any of the Wrap parties after Season 2 – no pictures as evidence

In the end this article became more that just a Wrap Party post.

Just like so many of these words from Christa reflect and  also seen in this last picture of Alex’s fans

– He is loved and adored by so many and for so many reasons!

Thank you Christa for sharing some of your thoughts and experiences around Alex with us all.

We are sure you are still dearly missed by your many loved ones and those who could spend time with you!

Newly Posted #AlexOLoughlin Picture From Last Year’s Trip

• In September last year, we posted a picture of Alex boarding a plane and from the looks of it it looked like he was flying off to Seattle:

We shared it here

• And then two weeks later another picture from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, of Alex and Beulah got posted. With it was an indication that they were on their way back home to Hawaii:

We shared it here

• We did not know that Alex was with Beulah during that time before this picture got posted. 
• What we do know, is that Beulah posted some videos and messages of himself doing a trip in the wild during this time.
• Unfortunately Alex never featured on any of Beulah’s footage.
• Then in November, Jordan Jonas as @hobojordo on IG posted a picture on his IG Story

As you can see, it looks like a selfie taken by Alex on 25 September 2020

Who is Jordan Jonas? – he takes people on Wilderness Survival and Adventure Courses.

You can read all about him on his website and social media pages –Facebook & Instagram

• And today another picture from the Alaska Airlines – Seattle-Tacoma Int’l Airport (SEA) was posted by Melanie Nua Buchner

 

rankyluv09

Sometime last year !!! 
#alexoloughlin#beulahkoale#hawaiifive0

She did not give a date on her picture, but from what Alex is wearing, it looks like it was taken on their arrival there in Seattle in September 2020

It would have been great to know more about their trip, but at least we know that the two mates had some fun together before Beulah left Hawaii.
