From Jim Lavoie of the Telegraph-Journal:

Fredericton’s Anna Silk will return as leading lady on ‘Lost Girl,’ network’s No. 1 show
“I think Bo is a role model. What I love about her is her sense of loyalty and she also has this strong sense of justice that often gets her into trouble. She will not take no for an answer and will stand up for what she believes in. She struggles to embrace who and what she is and I think that journey is a relatable one, and one I am proud of.” Read more.

From Abbas Karimjee:

Interview With Little Mosque on the Prairie’s Sitara Hewitt
“Rayyan has grown up over the years. She started off as more naive, then after an engagement that didn’t work out she became more focused on her career and being a good person for herself, and not for a man. While she remains quirky and sarcastic, she has also become less immature, and more compassionate and relaxed. As we all do as we grow.” Read more.

Friday, December 31 at 20:00 – 21:00:

AIR FARCE NEW YEAR’S EVE 2010/2011 – (NEW) – Royal Canadian Air Farce’s annual reunion and comic look-back at the highs and lows of 2010. Again this year there’s a load of good targets for fun and satire – from Justin Bieber’s hair-raising rise to fame, to the billion-dollar G8 and G20 boondoggles and bedbug infestations in Canada’s big cities. “Don’t touch my junk” airport security, Celine Dion’s new twins, disastrous oil leaks and America’s Tea Party also come under the Farce-o-scope. Roger Abbott, Don Ferguson, Luba Goy, Jessica Holmes, Craig Lauzon, Alan Park and Penelope Corrin. Special guest Lloyd Robertson.

From Bill Harris of QMI Agency:

Lisinska likens new role to Liz Lemon
“I think Alex would love to think of herself as Farrah Fawcett in Charlie’s Angels,” Lisinska said. “Really, she’s Liz Lemon (Tina Fey’s character on 30 Rock). But every girl wants to have great hair and great boots. Uh, you did say boots, right?” Read more.
