UITableView cell not displaying text as expected

I have a table view that seems to be working, but it's not displaying text in the cell as expected. In other words when I load the tableView it shows only blank cells, whereas I would expect one cell to display a the text requested in the code below.

Is there anything wrong with my code below?

NOTE: I'm only implementing cellForRowAtIndexPath as my tableView is a subclass of Stanford's CoreDataTableViewController.

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *cellIdentifier = @"a_cell";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
        if (cell == nil) {
        NSLog(@"cell is nil");
        cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
    }

    //Page is a managed object entity with a name attribute.
    Page *page = [self.fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    //The log below returns the expected string for the name value.
    NSLog(@"page.name %@", page.name);
    cell.textLabel.text = @"page.name";

    return cell;
}

There is only one object or "Page" as of now, so I would expect only one cell in the tableView (the top) to display text. In fact all ate blank.

When I log the indexPath using: 

NSLog(@"cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath %@", indexPath);

I get the following printed once: 

cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath <NSIndexPath 0x836f1d0> 2 indexes [0, 0]

Is that the first cell?

Curiously when I try to color the cell like below the cell remains white also:

cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];

Below is the header for the tableViewController (mine, not Stanford's). Note the context property, that is so I could pass the coreData managedObjectContext in to perform the fetch I needed. 

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "CoreDataTableViewController.h"

@interface CDST02TableViewController : CoreDataTableViewController


@property (strong, nonatomic) NSManagedObjectContext *context;


@end

You need to change:

cell.textLabel.text = @"page.name";

To:

cell.textLabel.text = page.name;

If that doesn't work, check if any interface element is hiding the first row ;)
