Me too Nat. I'm glad to hear she's doing something outside of SH. And I hope she has a good role there, cause yeah it seems like she just joined the cast and won't be in it that much. They haven't even put her name as the cast on imdb. They even have an unknown actress up there. I'm more curious now on what ED role will be. Gosh if she is just in the movie like 2 sec, im going to be annoyed.
And I agree Tiffany, she was amazing in Gemelle. And I loved her character in Harry's Law as well.
I would like if she got the "bad guy" role cause I want her play a role like that. Like in Gemelle, she would kill it.

I'll not even bother to list the "villain" characters I've envisioned her playing, haha.

hehe Well filming for Erica begins Monday, so hopefully will hear more about the movie and Erica's role in it. If anybody wants to know what's happening or get info with ED's new film, you can check out the movie's twitter account @painkillersfilm. Oh SH is on tonight if anyone cares lol Cannot wait to hear that there was no Jalex.

Yeah, I hope we get some news about her movies soon. I heard painkillers will have only a 15-20 day schedule. I'm not sure what that says about the length or quality of that movie.
And there seems to be nothing about Veiled Threats out there. What kinda movie, who stars...just nothing.
If both of these are movies with short schedules, then Erica should still have time for something in the US before SH s3 commences shooting.

Really 15-20 day schedule? Yikes that's short. I thought that was for pre-production. Umm yes that does put doubt in my mind about the film as a whole. Agreed. There is nothing yet on Veiled Threats. And no Jalex on SH Apparently on the next promo Alex is dating some other guy. Alrighty then. And Joel is not chief anymore. Seriously its all lining up, DG is so leaving this show. And DG doesn't even tweet about the show anymore.

As far as I remember, this was the article originally included with the tweet I read about Erica being in Painkillers. www.calgaryherald.com/entertainment/Colm+Feore+snagged+Calgary+shot+thriller+Painkillers/9382068/story.htmlWell, there's this line that made me believe the schedule will be short...if this article got the facts right: "Painkillers, which will also star Calgary-born actress Erica Durance and Battlestar Galactica’s Tahmoh Penikett, will be shot over a 15-day period using a strong contingent of Alberta cast and crew, said Calgary-based producer Andrew Ferns"So, yeah...plus, nothing on this Veiled Threats movie either . I mean, we just read about it from EDTV; Erica didn't tweet or retweet about it. In fact, I read that (haven't seen the video yet) Erica mentions being in a movie in the Merilyn Dennis show. But I've no idea which one she talks about. Maybe need to watch the video. Yep, I'm also wondering from what I'm reading whether Joel is being given an exit strategy from SH or not. Guess we'll find out by the time s3 shooting commences. And are you serious? Alex dating someone? Someone who is NOT Charlie?!! You know what, I just might give the promo a shot .

Okay, so I saw the promo. Was the part where Alex is with Joel, Sonja and another guy supposed to be the date? If so, then yet again, we see a dressed down Alex - she looks like she's attending a semi formal funeral or some mourning event . Because really, in real life, Erica is looking fabulous, like in the Merilyn Denis show. Even MD comments on that quite a few times. Oh and since it's mentioned that Erica is doing a movie in Calgary, I guess they were talking about Painkillers. Because from what I read in EDTV, Veiled Threats shoot in Vancouver. Anyway, here's the MD video, courtesy of EDTV:

Oh I see. Well then hopefully Erica will have a good role. Yes I believe that is a date. I don't know why Joel and Sonya are there. Maybe crashed their date lol. Plus I'm betting the date will be short, everyone looks uncomfortable. I seriously spit out my drink when I read your comment on Alex dressing for a funeral haha! I thought the exact same thing. Like why SH?! Why?!.. Why do you make Alex so boring in personality and fashion. Like give her a freakin pretty blouse. The only way I will watch an episode if Jalex starts to happen, cause if their just going to have Alex date random dudes and be sad cause she is not with the magnificent Charlie, then im out. Im not having it, this would be worse for me.

Yeah, I mean, look at Sonja - nothing overdone, just a pink top (could a dress too, I guess) and lipstick of similar shade. I'm happy that Alex looks nothing like Lois, but you know something, even Lois was not dressy most of time too - hardly ever accessorized. Yet, Lois had always looked fashionable, but more importantly, upbeat. I'm just so sick of seeing a tired, sad, boring Alex . So, yep, if that's how it continues because Alex is not with Charlie, then I'm never watching SH again. Oh, and I wouldn't mind Alex dating other men. In fact, if DG leaves, then I hope SH brings in a new hot doctor, because honestly, the thing that turns me off about SH the most...is Chalex!!!

Exactly. I mean even in the earlier seasons on SV they had Lois dress down a lot compared to Lana and Chloe. Lois was always in just a tang-top and pony tail, but she still had a an upbeat personality and was an interesting character. I was never bored with Lois despite how she dressed. Alex on the other hand, her personality is dry as it can be.
Now that I think about it, besides Alex and Charlie, the rest of the SH cast is pretty upbeat. Don't know why they the writers couldn't make Alex like that.
And yeah if DG leaves next season which I think he will, his new show is doing really well. I would love new doctors to come in and date Alex. The thing that I don't want to see and would loath the show if she is being shown sad ALL the time cause she is not with Charlie. That makes Alex look pathetic.
Here's an interview w/ Erica last night and she is looking gorgeous w/ that black dress.

The tank-top and low-waist jeans was one of the best SVLois ensemble, IMO . But yeah, it was her personality that was the most attractive feature about SVLois...and the very same one that turns me off about Alex . But yes, a little jazz in her outfits would be a great improvement too. I mean, Erica is also wearing all black in that Strombo interview with minimal make-up. So, why can't Alex do the same? It's like Alex, when not in scrubs, is always in white or blue or some equally bland color. Or maybe it's her personality that makes all her limited looks so bland ? And one more thing about SH - not only I hope that there will be other men on the show that Alex will date (can never mention enough how much Chalex gets on my nerve)...but I also wish that Alex/Erica would have better chemistry with these new guys/actors.

Wow serious talk here. I for one wish DG would stay and MS would leave the show. That would a major improvement.

Haha yes Tiffany, that would be in my opinion the best thing to happen to the show. I think its going to be bad for SH "if" they lose DG. Yeah Nat, I think Alex personality makes what she wears even worse. What she wears says I'm boring and no fun. And yes the guys that come in have to have great chemistry with Erica. But even if they do, Alex will still end up with Charlie and its so annoying. I really despise this show for doing that. Having chalex be endgame.

I second Charlie leaving. In my opinion he is a minor character who should have died. I won't get started on Alex. Except to say that she needs a style consultant and a personality transplant.
I found this fan's comment on a recap that I read. I really liked what he had to say about A&C. He made some very valid points. I quoted him below.

Thanks, Tricia - that's got to be one of the best comments I've read about the Chalex relationship.
The thing is, just because two actors are good at their jobs, it doesn't mean they have the chemistry necessary to make a relationship interesting to the viewers.
Oh, and I've been wanting to know more of Alex's back story so much in s1, that when it didn't happen, I just gave me.
Now, of course, I've given up on the whole show. I haven't seen it since it returned after s2 mid-season finale. From tumblr, I get to know what's going on, so nothing in SH these days that makes me want to watch it.
