Rounded Characters

Ah, what an unfortunate fate! In a classic crime drama with a real catharsis, bad guys tend to come back but always with a different face.
Thus, there is no hope of seeing Michelle Forbes in the third season of Durham County, which has just been confirmed to go into production this fall.

The Gemini Award-winning series Durham County starring Hugh Dillon (Flashpoint) also goes into production in fall 2009 for a third season. Durham County (season 2) premieres on July 13, 2009 on Movie Central and The Movie Network.

DURHAM COUNTY (SEASON 3)

Muse Entertainment Enterprises and Back Alley Film Productions present the third season of Durham County. Detective Mike Sweeney has joined a task force that is investigating the brutal murder of two young boys who were drug runners. While Mike's family life flourishes, tragedy strikes and his grief forces him to solve a heinous crime that could implicate a friend and confidant. Produced by Janis Lundman, Adrienne Mitchell, Michael Prupas and Laurie Finstad Knizhnik; the series writers are Laurie Finstad Knizhnik and Bruce M. Smith.

The virtues of a good guy/ a good woman can be so compelling, intriguing, multi-layered, tantalizing, sublime, troubled, thrilling, weak and strong, gripping, fascinating, surprising, complex and heartbreaking. I'd love to see Michelle picking such a role. Some day.

P.S. There are no bad guys or good guys, only 'rounded characters'? This assumption is a result of the postmodernism that died 20 years ago. But maybe that's just me.

True Blood Photoshoot - Maryann


HQ here

May I point out that I conveniently almost fell off my chair when these caught my eye? It's easy to see why. :)

Teasing on the imminent premiere of 'True Blood', the creator said that many will be unearthed about the non-human creature in the second season.
Creator of HBO's "", Alan Ball has confirmed that Maryann Forrester is up to no good. In an interview with SCI FI Wire, he revealed that back in Bon Temps, Maryann "begins stirring up all kinds of trouble" although she was portrayed in the first season as very saintly to Tara. "She's got an agenda, and it's not a good one," Alan said.

In the first season, Maryann first appeared in the middle of the road with a boar while Tara was driving home drunk. Thinking that she had hit the figure, Tara got out of the car only to find that there was nobody. Few days later, Maryann posing as a wealthy social worker, released Tara from jail and accommodated her. Toward the end, Maryann leaned on her mysterious side when it was known that she has a secret past involving Sam. She knew Sam could shape-shift to dog and they had an encounter when he was only 17.

Director Michael Lehmann said non-human Maryann will be a huge part of the story in the second season. Michelle Forbes, who plays the character, also confirmed that her agenda will be opened up wide.
