MARY WALSH AND LYRIQ BENT GUEST STAR ON THE HIT COMEDY SERIES SOPHIE, ON CBC TELEVISION

Mary Walsh guest stars on the second to last episode of the hit comedy series SOPHIE, Wednesday, March 26, at 8 p.m., on CBC Television. Walsh plays hard-nosed film director Sariah Sloan. It’s a negotiation Sophie (Natalie Brown), who owns Parker Talent Agency, will never forget.

When Estelle (Sara Botsford) and Melissa (Amy Lalonde) land rolls-of-a-lifetime, Sophie has to negotiate with the infamously difficult Sloan. Sloan is turned off by Sophie’s eagerness to be a mother first. With her relationship with Estelle in jeopardy and her business crumbling, Sophie has no choice but to ask her ex-fiancé Rick (Sebastian Spence) for help, a role that Rick has no desire to play.

On the final episode of the season, on Wednesday, April 2, Lyriq Bent (Angela’s Eyes, Platinum) stars as Andre, a mystery man, who unexpectedly reappears in Sophie’s life. Sophie hasn’t seen him since a magical tryst one weekend in New York City. She throws a birthday bash for herself, but the bigger surprise is the arrival of a man from her past, Andre, the stranger from New York. But the biggest surprise is yet to come when Sophie faces the dilemma of her life, does she tell Andre that he’s the father of Sophie’s baby?

From Brendan Kelly of Canwest News Service:

• CBC has a hit with Sophie
  “Well two months in, Sophie is doing just fine, thank you very much. The comedy about a stressed-out young mother running a talent agency regularly pulls-in just under 600,000 viewers, which is a highly-respectable performance for a show on our national public broadcaster. It is even more notable given that the local laugher goes head-to-head with ratings juggernaut American Idol on rival CTV.” Read more.
