Casting Corner: Boston Legal, CSI: NY, House and More

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, ABC, Cable, FX, FOX, The CW, House, Nip/Tuck

Here’s a quick look at some of the casting announcements made recently:

CSI: NY: To celebrate its 100th outing, CSI: NY will be doing it old-school Terminator style. In the sweeps episode, several guest stars - including Rumer Willis, Daughtry and Scott Wolf - will become targets of a serial killer. In the original Terminator, women named Sarah Connor became Arnold Schwarzenegger’s targets. This time around, the suspect is aiming to knock off those named Mac Taylor. (That would be the name of Gary Sinise’s character.) You can expect the star-studded episode to air on November 19.

‘The Nine’ Sees It’s Ninth Life

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Renewals

Back in November, I lamented the loss of a great show, The Nine. ABC put the series on hiatus right when the mysteries started kicking in.  What really happened inside the bank??  I had kept the Season Pass request in my Tivo hoping that someday it would pick up a new episode.  After a few months of waiting, I finally hit delete.

Needless to say, I was ecstatic to hear that ABC would air the remaining episodes starting this week.  Unfortunately the news is a bit bittersweet.  While I’m happy to get new pieces of the puzzle—knowing that six is all I will get is torturous.  I hate being teased…but I’m still a glutton for punishment.

Reset your Tivo for this Wednesday @ 10pm.

Casting News: James Van Der Beek, Scott Wolf

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC

Scott Wolf, right off the cancellation of The Nine has been cast as the lead in an ABC comedy. Yep, comedy. The Party of Five star has signed on to play a lawyer in an untitled series. He will be the leader of a litigation team. I look forward to seeing what his dimples bring to the show.

In other casting news, James Van Der Beek will be joining ABC’s Football Wives. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen Van Der Beek, and no doubt his experience in the film Varsity Blues will give him a leg up. The drama will take a look a the lives of women who marry NFL players. Van Der Beek will play a rookie. The wives will be played by Kiele Sanchez, Lucy Lawless and Gabrielle Union.

Is The Nine Down For The Count?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Ratings

Okay – I know that putting a show on hiatus is not exactly a NEW thing.  But it’s been a long time since I’ve watched a complete dud, so I’m not used to when it happens to me..especially mid-story line.

So needless to say, I was stunned to hear this morning that ABC’s The Nine was put on immediate hiatus.  I mean, I know that the ratings weren’t as high as hoped, but c’mon…..it was a good show!  To make matters worse – there’s no exact word at this time when the show might be resurrected.

Arrgggh!!!

How will I be able to sleep not knowing if Eva was in on the whole thing?? And how about those poor lovebirds, Jeremy and Lizzie??  What happened in that bank that forced them to break up?  And what exactly happened to Felicia that made her so traumatized???

I don’t like this new position that I’ve been put in and I’m not sure if I will ever get past Stage Denial.  A plea to anyone who’s gone through this before: Please let me know what to expect next…
