BEING HUMAN Scoop: Sam Witwer Talks The Series Finale and What He Learned Playing A Tortured Vampire
It was a crazy idea to begin with: a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost all wanting to live together and have normal lives. But if anything the past four seasons of BEING HUMAN have proved is that as crazy as the idea was, in the end, that desire for normalcy gave them all purpose and helped them all find a common bond of love for each other. So what seemed to incredulous at first became an intriguing journey as they fought so hard for the lives they wanted and fought for each other in the process.
In an exclusive interview, star Sam Witwer talked about the incredible journey of Aidan, Josh and Sally, what he learned from this extraordinary opportunity, and the best advice he would love to give Aidan if they could sit down and have a heart to heart conversation. [Read more…]

BITTEN Exclusive: Laura Vandervoort Talks Jeremy’s Betrayal, Elena Opening Her Heart to Clay and the Vicious Fight To Be The Alpha
What a roller-coaster ride Season 1 of BITTEN has been. It began with a mysterious murder and mutt-hunt, which was then revealed to be the beginnings of a monstrous plan to take out the Danvers Pack and coerce Elena (Laura Vandervoort) into an unholy alliance with Daniel Santos (Michael Luckett). But Santos, Marsten (Pascal Langdale) and all the other scheming challengers under-estimated the strength of Jeremy Danvers (Greg Bryk) and his alpha pack. They were not just aligned out of loyalty, but by love — and this stronger than any incentive Santos or his mysterious benefactor could offer. So as Season 1 wraps up, it will be a battle to the bitten end. Just who will survive and who will make the ultimate sacrifice?
In an exclusive interview, star Laura Vandervoort talked about all the mixed feelings swirling around in Elena’s head as she tries to sort out how she feels about her Alpha and the men she loves. [Read more…]
