Echo beach / Moving Wallpaper

Echo Beach has a confirmed start date on ITV1 of 10th January 2008 at 9.30pm, which is shown immediately after Moving Wallpaper which is premiered at 9.00pm on 10th January.

Created by Tony Jordan, Echo Beach follows the lives of ex-lovers Daniel Marrack (Jason Donovan) and Susan Penwarden (Martine McCutcheon) and is set in the fictional coastal town of Polnarren in Cornwall. The show also follows the trials and tribulations of the town's youngsters.


Sister show Moving Wallpaper will provide a comedic behind-the-scenes look at the 'making of' Echo Beach from the viewpoint of fictional producer Jonathan Pope (Ben Miller).



A show insider added: "The kids of Echo Beach make the cast of The OC look more like the Munsters. Come next year they'll be household names amongst Britain’s teens. The guys are definite pin-up material and the girls will be fashion icons by the second episode.

Also joining the soap will be Ed Speelers from Eragon; Marcus Patrick, who previously starred in Hollyoaks; and Laura Greenwood from Prime Suspect 7.     


Starring in Moving Wallpaper will be Raquel Cassidy from the BBC's Party Animals, Elizabeth Berrington from the Office and Lucy Liemann, who starred in The IT Crowd.

Supernatural Season 3 / ITV2 / UK

As a big fan of Supernatural I try to keep up to date on everything Supernatural.

I was suprised to read on some fan forums and even on the official ITV forums that people think Supernatural has been cancelled in the UK.

Supernatural will be shown on ITV2, ITV have confirmed that on many occasions, they have bought the rights to show it, and are even showing 'Coming Soon' trailers for it.

So to put everyones mind at rest, Supernatural Season 3 will be shown in the UK early 2008 on ITV2.   The itv website contains out of date information on Supernatural it currently says its airing at 11pm on Fridays, its not.  Its not due to be aired till early 2008.

Even more James Toseland

James comments on BBC Sports Personality of the Year

 

"I'm really pleased to have finished fourth in the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year. I'd like to thank all my fans who have supported me throughout my career so far, and who picked the phone up on Sunday to vote for me.

Many of my sponsors including Bennetts, HANNspree and the Phil Burgan Race Academy worked really hard to help generate phone votes for me and - as I was only 710 votes away from third place - they did an excellent job.

"I am slightly disappointed with the lack of specialist press support ahead of the event. It seems that since I did well it has become newsworthy, but a little extra support ahead of Sunday might have helped me clinch that third place.

Although it was fantastic to be recognised as a sportsman on a national level alongside athletes, rugby players and boxers, my hope was to help fly the flag for motorcyclists across the country and bring the sport of motorcycle racing to a wider audience." 

Thomas Haynes

Thomas was a competitor in the 7th series of Big Brother (Australia). He was the twelfth housemate to be evicted, along with Andrew, in a double eviction

Thomas: (on his flirty behaviour) That's just who I am. I'm a flirty, kind of happy person. All of it is just a bit of a laugh and a fun time to me, it's not anything serious. I wasn't in there (the Big Brother house) looking for a relationship and I wasn't in there thinking that there was anything serious going on. For me it was just passing the time.

 

He's a real estate agent, a former basketball player and was evicted from the Big Brother house in day 64, sometime in later days of June, 2007.

Leon Jackson Heading For Christmas No1 Spot

X FACTOR winner Leon Jackson is storming towards the Christmas No1 with his single When You Believe.

leonwalkwaymain

The song was officially released 19th December and is on course to sell 300,000 copies by Sunday, when the Christmas chart will be announced.

leon

But he may face a late challenge from the Pogues and Kirsty MacColl, whose classic Fairytale Of New York got a boost this week from the row over Radio 1's censorship of the lyrics.

Woolworths said they were selling 40 copies of Leon's single a minute, with their Scottish stores shifting twice as many as those down south.   Their branch in Bathgate, Leon's home town, sold out within two hours.

leonforcelinemain

Fans hurled their knickers at Leon last night as he performed in Scotland for the first time since his victory.   Teddy bears and underwear littered the stage as he sang When You Believe.

More than 600 fans had queued for hours - some spending the night in freezing temperatures - to get a ticket for his appearance in a Livingston shopping centre.

Barry Sloane

(Before I start, I just need to add, I cant find many pics of Barry Sloane, so apart from the first one you are having James Sutton pics instead)

Fans of Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks are in for a treat, thanks to the addition of a new character.

Niall Rafferty (played by Barry Sloane) arrives in the village this week, and right from the start has tongues wagging furiously about who he is and where he's come from.   What they don't know is the lad is Myra McQueen's (Nicole Barber-Lane) long-lost son, and he's spent most of his life trying to track down his mother.

jamessuttonvw4

Barry says: "I'm really loving playing Niall and it's been great getting my teeth into the part. From what I know about his forthcoming storylines he sounds like an amazing character.  "He's going to get up to some pretty evil stuff and will use Michaela as his prey, so she'd better watch her back."

 

Niall's history is that when his mum Myra fell pregnant at the tender age of 14, she was forced to give up her baby by abandoning him in a church. He was brought up in a series of orphanages, where life wasn't exactly a bed of roses.  Now he's finally tracked down his real mother, it seems he's not looking for a warm welcome - rather a hefty dose of revenge. Setting himself up as a stylist in Evissa, Niall is very ambiguous and mysterious.

jamessuttonas4

Warren (Jamie Lomas) is immediately suspicious of the newcomer when the latter lashes out at him - do male hairdressers normally let their fists do the talking?    However, to everyone else, Niall is a friend. And ironically, it's Myra who takes a particular shine to him and is won over by his charm - until Christmas Day, when he reveals his real identity.

Justin Bruening / Knight Rider

I can remember Knight Rider from when I was a kid, it was a great program, so lets hope the new series will be good.  Its got Justin in it, so it won't be too bad, even if its just for the eye candy.

 

"All My Children" hunk Justin Bruening is set as the lead in NBC's two-hour backdoor pilot "Knight Rider," a "Transformers"-inspired sequel to the 1980s series, which is slated to air as a movie later in the season.

Justin3
Bruening will play the son of Michael Knight, the character played by David Hasselhoff in the original series. And like father, like son, the choice of Bruening closely resembles Hasselhoff's casting a quarter-century ago.


Like Bruening, Hasselhoff was a soap star ("The Young & the Restless") with few other credits when he landed "Knight Rider." He was almost the same age as Bruening, who is 28.
Bruening also follows in the footsteps of fellow "Children" alum Josh Duhamel, who made the transition from soap actor to primetime leading man as the star of NBC's "Las Vegas."

 

Steve Shill is set to direct and co-exec produce "Rider," which was penned by Dave Andron. Doug Liman and Dave Bartis are executive producing for Universal Media Studios and Dutch Oven Prods. Andron serves as supervising producer.
Bruening used to play Jamie Martin on "Children" and also had a role on the ABC soap "One Life to Live."
