Dr. Quinn is once again coming to the aid for someone in need: Jane Seymour, the star of the ’90s drama Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, took in her co-star/on-screen love interest Joe Lando after his home was destroyed in the Palisades fire.
“Thankfully there are angels in this world. We’re left with nothing except each other,” Lando said on Instagram over the weekend. Seymour lives in nearby Malibu. “My friend Jane Seymour allowed us to come over to her house and opened it up for us without any hesitation and thank God gave us someplace to come and sleep.”
Seymour and Lando costarred on the CBS drama from 1993 to 1998, and reunited for two TV films.
“My mother instilled in me from an early age that in times of great strife and struggle, reach out and help someone,” Seymour said in a statement. “Welcoming Joe and his family into our home while they try to make sense of the inexplicable is just what you do for family, and The Landos are our family.”
A distraught Lando spoke at length on social media about the devastation. Choking back tears, Lando said his house “wasn’t big and fancy but it was our home I worked hard on it.”
He remembered how he used to walk his kids to school everyday in the neighborhood.
“There’s a lot of wealthy people in my neighborhood but that’s not the majority of this neighborhood,” he said. “Most people are just hard working folks who have been living there for generations. My wife’s parents lived down the street or did. They lost their house after 40 something years.”
“This fire is evil,” he continued. “It’s indescribable. You know you see people on TV who go through these things and you think, ‘oh my God, that must be terrible. Thank God it’s not me.’ And you know now I’m one of those people and if it was just us, I’d be really okay with this. But it’s everybody. It’s everything and I’m just devastated and heartbroken for everybody, all the people we know. They don’t have houses.”
