And the thing is she can still do it! Its not too late for her. There are plenty of movies that she can audition for. It would just be so nice for once to see her on the big screen.

Here is the new promo for SH. Umm not really excited. There is no Joel in this promo, go figure. A Chalex kiss really? You know cause Alex and Charlie are in such a good place now And once again there's a lot of confused and sad Alex. Though I did like seeing mad Alex shut that door a couple of times. Seriously that's how I feel whenever I watch SH

Given that SH is now becoming a fall show I'll be interested to see if DG continues to do both. I don't know how well the Originals is doing. If it gets renewed then how could DG continue to do SH? With him having a main stream US show I don't see him doing SH. Maybe PTB know that so they've cut him out. Hell at this point should we expect Joel to die?

^ That what I was wondering too. The Originals is a hit (by CW standards) so there's no way he'll leave that show. Last summer Daniel G. managed to do both shows because SH started filming in march to early september but now with SH filming in june-november I don't see how it could work (The Originals starts its production in august). But we'll know soon enough I guess.

I wonder how losing DG would impact SH? The ratings had already fallen. I just wonder if losing him would hurt. Also, who would Sh get to replace?

I think if DG leaves SH will suffer. But they already filmed this Season, so I expect him to finish the season. Its going to suck if they do kill him off. He was after all my favorite character.
Maybe I'm wrong but it doesn't seem like any US networks are interested in picking up SH.
And is the season starting back in January Season 2 or Season 3? Im confused about that.

Yeah I think it'll hurt. He's in all S2 episodes but the big thing will now be S3 when they come back in June 2014 to film.
When it comes back Jan 2nd it's still season 2. I never understood that whole thing! Just why in the world did they split it! Maybe they want to test to see if it'll bring in the fall ratings. I have no idea.
You are correct no US network is interested in SH. SH will not be shown in the US again. Sucks for Erica's fans.

I don't understand it either and I don't know how the ratings will be. Id imagine the same or lower tbh. Doesn't help them if they don't put Joel in the promos. It really does suck for ED fans in the US. And its sad to say but it seems ED is slowly becoming less famous in the US.

Yeah she is almost forgotten here. I had hoped she'd work during her hiatus. You know take on smaller parts in films and other tv show. Now with SH becoming a fall show in Canada I don't see it happening. It really does suck.
Yeah with no Joel who knows what will happen.

I wish ED would do something in the US before SH s3 commences shooting.

ITA Nat. I saw a tweet on twitter saying "Erica Durance and Tom welling to star in new romantic comedy" I got so happy only to realize that its was a rumor back then Seriously that's what it has come down to. I would even be happy if ED did a movie here in the US with a SV co star. I don't even care with who tbh.

Honestly, Erica's US career post SV reminds me of X-Men movie-Rogue post X1.
Both were important in SV and X1.
Then, in X2, Rogue was there, but hardly...like Erica in US TV - only CA and HL.
In X3, Rogue ends up without powers (Marvel ruined one of their best and famous characters)...just like Erica's mediocre SH is first aired but then cancelled in US.
Rogue was supposed to be in the much-awaited X-Men:Days of Our Future Past, but I read just now that her part has been cropped out and will probably;y only appear in the DVD extras. Just like rumors of SH US pick-up, but seems highly unlikely, thus Erica not in US TV anymore.
But the worst part? Movies will always be made and Rogue will be BACK, even if played by a different actress. But considering US casts young actresses, Erica's is fast falling into the age range who are not considered anymore.
I mean, look at OUAT. The four female leads, including Snow White and Belle, are portrayed by actresses in their 30s. But all the guest ones, other princesses like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty and Ariel and Mulan - these are all played by actresses in their 20s.
Arrow has 3 actresses, other than Oliver's mother - Laurel (future Black Canary), Ollie's sister, and his assistant or the other love interest, Felicity. Again, all in their 20s.
Same goes for most leads in TVD, PLL, Revenge, etc.
I'm not saying 30-something actresses are not cast. But SV stars seem to rarely get roles in good shows in popular networks. And even guest roles seem to go to younger actresses.
All my personal opinion, but doesn't seem like we'll see Erica in US again anytime soon.

Well said Nat. You hit the nail on the head.
And like ive said before, I wouldn't mind SH so much if it was shown it the US. Its hard for me to try and find the show on the internet to watch it. If Erica did a guest role I would be so happy but it seems she does not want to.
And it only makes me more annoyed that SH is doing another season. Like "If" DG is not in S3, I doubt SH is going to survive. And I would think DG will pick The Originals over SH if he had to choose due to filming schedules.

Hey, Liz . I was a bit upset that day when I wrote the post - had just found out about X-Men movie cropping out Rogue (though the character was ruined from the X2). Hence, the comparison. But I still stand by about how I feel about Erica's career and SH. It was difficult being her fan after the end of SV, esp with SH cancelled in US. And yet, I was hopeful that Erica will do something while SH went on break after end of s1 filming. But when nothing happened, and even now that Erica is not doing anything though SH finished filming for s2 like 3 months ago, I just don't have any expectations anymore. Never thought I'd say this, but it's difficult to remain a loyal fan when there's nothing to get excited about. So, yeah, for me no more dream casting her in any new movie/TV show that I look forward to, or waiting to hear her being in another show or movie. If Erica does another project, we'll hear about it when that happens. In the meantime, I've many other TV shows I enjoy immensely - Castle, OUAT, TBBT, DA, etc. Not to mention all the awesome movies that come out every year. So, yeah, plenty of stuff to keep me entertained ;D!!!
