On Friday 27th September 2013 some good history was made. We got Alex, together with Peter Lenkov and Daniel Dae Kim, live tweeting with broadcast of the Season 4 premiere.
This was the opening tweet:
Watch #H50 season premiere right now! Join @Plenkov, @danieldaekim & Alex O’Loughlin LIVE tweeting 4.
From there on Alex took over and entertained us for a while. Can’t thank him enough for taking the time to do it. Fans relish the opportunity for any personal contact with him. With so many of us from so far away, it is a wonderful occasion to be able to interact with him a just a little bit.
This is how the rest of the session went:
sabrinanthesand @ItisSabrina : Alex do u hope Wo Fat is McG’s half bro? Also TY bb for #ruokday support XO
Alex: It would definitely answer some questions
Alex: Boy it’s nice to have a haircut!
Alex: We used multiple special camera rigs for some of these shots
Peter M. Lenkov @Plenkov: Love when McG yells
Alex: Yeah, I guess I yell a lot
Alex: Dragging a man like that is actually harder than it looks
Alex: This scene between Kono and Adam we borrowed from the Titanic
Jennifer @PhoenixWytch: What’s your favorite scene in this episode?
Alex: I think that last one with Wo Fat is one of them!
Miss Sara King @Sara_TIU_TW: Was it hard to go back to work on #H50 after you had your son?

Cassidy Douglas @Cassi_Hopee: Question for Alex: if you could write an episode of #H50, what would it be about?
Alex: I would dress Danno up as a woman and send him undercover in a prostitution ring.

Alex: My children are more mature than I am
Julianne Foley @julsfoley: Okay, after you’ve watched an episode, who thinks the most about a scene they wish they’d done differently?
Alex: I don’t think any of us really do. There’s too much work ahead of us to think about what we’ve completed
Alex: Between this Camaro and Danno’s next car we’re going to be rolling in dad’s Marquis
AmandaLinn @xAmandoLinn: I love your bromance between Danno and Steve!.. Is it the same off camera as well!?
Alex: Yeah. We don’t argue as much off camera.

Alex: I’ve flown a few times
Alex: This is Academy Award-winning makeup artist Jeff Dawn’s work on Wo Fat. It’s fantastic
Alex: They use that plane to transport cattle to and from the Mainland. It smelled like urine. It was the worst.
Alexis Hilyard @sunflowerstarrs: #AlexOLoughlin are you thinking of making any movies soon?
Alex: As soon as I get time. I can’t wait to do another movie.
Alex: This is Toast–he’s one of my favorite characters. We should bring him back.
Sara @iamsara_c: have you or anyone else been seriously hurt on the set?
Alex: Yes. Many times over
Alex: To all the Five-0 fans out there: Without you there is no us. We love you!
I think this was such a nice fun event. Hope we will experience something like this again. Like I said in the beginning there are so many of us living so far away, and we will never get the opportunity to ever see Alex in real life. So interacting with him like this is a great bonus!
