From Glen Schaefer of The Province:

Coombs can’t keep career in check: From Heartland and Tudors to chess-mad detective, Vancouver actor’s on a roll
“Coombs joined the long-running Calgary-filmed CBC family drama Heartland this year as a womanizing horse trainer, and in September he started filming the new Showcase mystery series Endgame in Vancouver. So for two months he was frequently switching gears from that Calgary horse trainer to the new role in Vancouver as aspiring chess player and novice detective Sam Bescht.” Read more.

From Bill Brioux of the Canadian Press:

Will junior hockey once again crush other TV shows in the ratings?
“The tourney has other Canadian broadcasters tinkering with early January schedules. CBC had originally picked Jan. 5 as the start date for the second season of its Newfoundland-based detective series “Republic of Doyle.” That’s now been pushed back a week to Jan. 12. History Television had the second season of its top-rated reality series “Ice Pilots NWT” taking off the same night, along with a new “Ice Road Truckers” series “IRT: Deadliest Roads.” Both swerved out of the way of the hockey championships, with the new premieres set back a week until Jan. 12.” Read more.
