In the news: Debra Lynne McCabe of The Border

From Bill Harris of Sun Media:

  • Border crosser
    ” “Aren’t you the girl I saw in Saw III?” Debra Lynne McCabe is used to those kinds of questions. “Yeah, I get things like, ‘Didn’t she freeze to death in a meat locker?’ ” the Canadian actress said. “And I say, ‘Uh, I’ve done other things, too!’ ” Those “other things” include McCabe’s current role as Yvonne Castle in the hit CBC series The Border. The first-season finale airs tomorrow.” Read more.

In the news: Trojan Horse ‘enthralling’

From Joel Rubinoff of the Record:

  • Trojan Horse is the CBC equivalent of dramatic 24
    “I can’t give away any more of the plot — not because it would ruin the viewing experience but because, frankly, it would sound so belaboured and confusing no one in their right mind would tune in. What you really need to know is this: writers [Paul] Gross and John Krizanc, with help from director Charles Biname and A-list actors like Martha Burns, Greta Scacchi and William Hutt, have engineered a tense, enthralling, conspiracy-laden prognostication about Canada’s future that will grab you from the beginning and, by ratcheting up tension incrementally, keep you fidgeting with excitement until the bitter end.” Read more.

In the news: Durham County on Global in May

From the Whig Standard:

  • Hugh Dillon’s on the case
    “Hugh Dillon’s Canadian TV show Durham County is coming to TV (again). The six-part series originally aired on the Movie Network/Movie Central but it’s going to be more accessible now that it’s on network television. The Kingstonian, who fronted the rock band The Headstones, stars as Det. Mike Sweeney, a homicide police officer who moves his family to the suburbs in search of a better life, a quieter life, after his partner is killed. But suburbia isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. There’s a killer on the loose, his wife is recovering from cancer, he has a girlfriend on the side, an angry teenager, and a strange neighbour.” Read more.
