[NAFDA] Spoilers for any and all currently running TV shows. All hardcore spoilage, all the time. No white font.
Mandy Patinkin left the set - perhaps during the filming of ep 1 of the new season. It looks like he will not be back. The writers are re-writing the first 7 eps to accommodate for this. Sounds messy:
!! OMG, how can you do Cminds without Mandy? I guess we'll find out.
If we're going to see young Adama, I wonder if we're going to see young Tigh.
Okay, she's purty. I may have to dig out my SPN season one DVD and watch finally.
L&O picks up second actor from Kidnapped.
From tvsquad re: Supernatural:
Rumors are circulating that Jensen Ackles' Supernatural character could have a kid, as he'll soon be meeting the eight-year-old son of a woman he had a fling with roughly nine years ago.
That would be in episode two - which is about Changelings.
The first episodes has something to do with the 7 deadly sins.
From E! News piece about the casting of Supergirl:
Two new thesps have also signed on to join the cast of Supernatural, premiering a week later.
Katie Cassidy, the daughter of '70s idol David and the Dallas remake's would-be Lucy Ewing, will star as Ruby, joining the Winchester brothers' two-strong squad of demon hunters as they continue the search for the Hell-sprung spirits who were released in the series' second season finale.
Pretty young Casanova thing Lauren Cohan, meanwhile, joins the cast a little later in the season as Bela, a mercenary who tries to profit from the supernatural world.
"Ruby and Bela, each in their own unique way, are dangerous, ruthless, more bad than good; and they'll each prove big trouble for Sam and Dean," series creator Eric Kripke said. "We were excited to find both Katie and Lauren; they just popped off the screen for us, and they bring charisma and intelligence to their roles."
The Supernatural season premiere airs on the CW Oct. 4.
(OCTOBER 4TH -- that's TOOO long.)
So charisma and intelligence were the lack they were looking to fill when they decided not to bring Samantha Ferris back? Good thing these actresses are gifted with so much more of those qualities than she. @@ ∞
A friend of mine came up with an angle that, if it is what they intend, makes at least one of the new female characters seem more interesting: perhaps one of them is the daughter of Steve Wandell - -the hunter that Sam killed when he was possessed by Meg. It would be nice continuity and I would guess that we wouldn't find out the information until later in the season.
