From Bill Brioux of the Canadian Press:

  • Actress Krystin Pellerin’s character goes undercover on ‘Republic of Doyle’
    For three seasons, Krystin Pellerin has been the good cop to Allan Hawco’s bad-boy ex-cop on the “Republic of Doyle.” Hawco, the very hands-on writer, producer and star of “Doyle,” wanted to give the blond, blue-eyed actress a chance to show a darker side on the fourth season of the CBC detective drama. “She’s an incredible actor, man,” said Hawco. “I just love the simplicity with which she approaches things, with such truthfulness and honesty.” Read more.

Ratings: Winter premiere week numbers

From Bill Brioux of TV Feeds My Family:

  • Murdoch Mysteries lifts CBC’s premiere week
    Premiere week is over. How did CBC do? The first week of January is a big one for CBC as the public broadcaster tries to take advantage of a more-or-less down week in network television to sneak on its 2013 series premieres. The network headed into the beginning of the year behind the 8 Ball with Hockey Night in Canada off its schedule due to the prolonged lockout, although the good news is the CBC’s most-watched broadcast returns Jan. 19. Add in budget cuts, the loss of popular supper hour driver Jeopardy! and other slings and arrows and its a wonder CBC managed to keep the lights on at all last fall. Read more.
