Of all the aspects that made All Rise unique, Lola Carmichael and Mark Callan’s friendship was the most endearing. The CBS and later OWN series rested squarely on the shoulders of its impressive cast, who brought each character to life with complexities not found in many other shows. That was particularly true of what Simone Missick and Wilson Bethel were able to accomplish with Mark and Lola, whose relationship was unlike anything else TV had to offer.In the same way that Lola challenged the justice system, Mark and Lola challenged the stereotypes that television has for male-female friendships and the patterns of friendships in general. The relationship that was written for them was not only wonderful to watch, but it also complemented each of their individual story arcs. Whether it was creating a memorable moment or giving audiences something to think about, Mark and Lola were one of the many things to appreciate about All Rise’s three seasons.Those moments of friendship went beyond scenes of entertaining banter or the occasional “very special moment” for dramatic effect. They were a constant. The bond was felt even if it was in a passing line during a bigger scene, and they showed up for each other every time best friends would — not just when the plot made it convenient. When Lola went before the Commission on Judicial Performance, Mark supported her. When Mark’s father Vic Callan faced murder charges, Lola was there for him. They gave each other professional advice, personal advice and even more importantly, said what the other person needed to hear. All Rise provided Lola and Mark with a three-dimensional friendship where, similar to Mark’s relationship with Amy Quinn, their bond still allowed them to disagree and to maintain a professional distance. They were shown in their good times, their bad times and everything in between.
