In the news: Megan Follows guest stars on Heartland

From Bill Harris of Sun Media:

  • Dark heart: Megan Follows breaks character to play woman with a murky past in CBC drama
    “Megan Follows was asked how tough it is to play a character who has a secret. “I guess it depends on how good a liar you are,” Follows said in a conspiratorial tone. Well, this part is no lie: Follows has a two-episode guest-starring role on the CBC series Heartland, beginning today. She’s playing Ty’s mother Lily, who arrives in town unexpectedly with something to hide.” Read more.

Cancon = Can’tcon?

From Kyle Carpenter of the McGill Tribune:

  • POP RHETORIC: CAN’TCON
    “Canada’s television shows – news and non-fiction programs excluded – are terrible compared to their American counterparts. And it’s not only in one genre: we fail in every category imaginable. In response to American comedies like The Office and 30 Rock, we come back with Little Mosque on the Prairie. For their action dramas NCIS and Prison Break, we come up with Flashpoint. Animated shows like Family Guy and South Park are met with Bob & Doug and Chilly Beach. They created Saturday Night Live, we came up with The Royal Canadian Air Farce. The Daily Show? The Rick Mercer Report. Seriously, we couldn’t even get Sesame Street right – we had to create a monster named Sesame Park.” Read more.
