In case you haven't seen the promos yet, HARPER'S ISLAND is set to premiere on Australian TV tonight on Channel 10 at 9:40pm, so make sure to tune in and support the show here in Oz.
So far it hasn't been getting great reviews in the US which caused a switch in time and day - now showing on Saturdays at 9pm - and although it had a bit of a shakey start, it's now getting into a pretty good groove ... plus (I know I'm biased) Elaine is awesome in it, so if anything, just watch it for her and her perfomance as Abby, who is clearly the stand out character of the show
The lovely Su from Y'Sharis Spa in California, emailed me some pics they took of Elaine and Stephen on their recent visit to the famous San Bernadino Hand & Foot Spa ...
The Elaine Cassidy Site would like to give a big, exciting congrats to Elaine and Stephen who are expecting their first bub together later this year
Elaine's rep spoke exclusively to PEOPLE magazine about their exciting news ...
Harper's Island Star Elaine Cassidy Expecting She may have the leading role in one of spring's most highly-anticipated series, CBS's Harper's Island, but there's another pressing matter on Elaine Cassidy's mind. The Irish actress is pregnant with her first child with her husband, U.K. actor and producer Stephen Lord, her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.
Cassidy, 29 has been temporarily living in California to film the show, while Lord, 36, finished up a two-year stint on the popular British soap East Enders.
Harper's Island premieres April 9. After having left her family and friends to live in Los Angeles, Cassidy's character, Abby Mills, returns to the island where her mother was murdered to attend a wedding. A series of murders unfold throughout the show's season. – Lisa Ingrassia
2009
Elaine was spotted at two events this month, one for the What Comes Around Goes Around's Fall 2009 Collection Launch at Space 15 Twenty on the 18th ...
And the other for The Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation And Sony Cierge Host A Fundraiser For The U.S. Fund For UNICEF’s TAP Project at My House on the 23rd ...
CBS now has the official HARPER'S ISLAND page up, which you can join and participate in the 'Pick the Victim' game as well as read about the series and it's cast of characters including Elaine's character Abby Mills a.k.a 'The Good Girl' ...
Make sure to also tune in every Wednesday over at HARPER'S GLOBE for an exciting new webisode which will soon follow alongside HARPER'S ISLAND ones it begins airing on April 9th at 10pm.
For those of us living outside of the US, we can watch the webisodes for now, but come Arpil 9th, we will be locked out until HARPER'S airs in our little part of the globe. I know this may seem unfair, but it will reveal too much about HARPER'S before we even get a chance to see it, so it's in the end a good thing too.
As most of you may know, Elaine was up for an IFTA award for her role as Annie Mulcahy in LITTLE WHITE LIE. Unfortunately she didn't win, but congrats to winner Charlene McKenna.
2009
A new web series brought to you by EQAL & CBS called HARPER'S GLOBE, a 16 week mystery on HARPER'S ISLAND, will be starting on March 18th. You can sign up for the multimedia event of the year by visiting the HARPER'S GLOBE website.
As you all may know, some of the HARPER'S ISLAND cast including Elaine Cassidy, Katie Cassidy and Christopher Gorham attended the CBS & Showtime portion of the 2009 Winter Television Critics Association Press Tour at the Universal Hilton Hotel on January 14, 2009 in Los Angeles, California. Also there were Jon Turteltaub, executive producer/director & Jeffrey Bell, executive producer/show runner of HARPER'S ISLAND
Speaking of appearances, Elaine, Katie and Chris will also be attending the 2009 WonderCon in San Fransisco on Sunday March 1st between 2:45pm-4:00pm. Those who can attend will get to see the pilot episode of HARPER'S ISLAND and possibly get to meet the stars of the series.
Thanks to member waitforkate for her super sleuthing, we have recently discovered Elaine is more of a busy bee than we thought. A new web series created, written and directed by hubby Stephen Lord called DR HOO will begin on the Virgin 1 site on Feb 27. Elaine stars as Zara alongside Stephen who plays Agent Smart and Ian Hart who plays Dr Hoo.
Here is a synopsis snippet about the series from the Virgin 1 Site:
Welcome to the world of Mr Hugh - or Dr Hoo as he prefers to be known.
A manic depressive form Wales with a multi-personality disorder, he pronouces his surname Hoo. His real name is actually David Raymond Hugh.
Hoo is a strict vegetarain. He’s ecologically conscious and his primary concern is to save himself and the world around him. However, time is running out fast.
His assistant is the sexy bombshell Zara. She’s obsessed with the “other world” and is always seeking Hoo’s help to find herself in the modern world.
The relationship between Dr Hoo and Zara is complex to say the least - especially as Zara appears to live in Hoo’s head. As their lives unfold inside a garage in Borehamwood on the outskirts of central London, we’re left wondering whether they will ever get out.
Unfortunately for those outside of the UK, it doesn't seem likely we'll get to see the series, which is made up of 10x3 minute webisodes (one pitfall of living in Australia and running a site for actors in the UK ), but here is a music video which was posted by Virgin1 to give y'all a sneak peek:
DR HOO also marks the launch of LEG Ltd (Lord Entertainment Group); co-founded obviously by creator/writer Stephen Lord. Good news is, a second series of DR HOO has already been greenlit, so stay tuned for more exciting projects from Stephen and Elaine in the very near future
Elaine has been nominated for an IFTA award in the category 'Actress in a Lead Role - Television' for her role as Annie Mulcahy in LITTLE WHITE LIE. The list of nominees in her category are:
Although it's not confirmed, since filming on the set of HARPER'S will have wrapped by then, there is a good chance Elaine & hubby Stephen will be in attendance. The ceremony is on 14th February 2009 at the Burlington Hotel, and will be broadcast that night on RTÉ One at 9.30pm.
Good luck to all the nominees, but of course the best of luck to Elaine. Here's hoping she wins
Although it's still a while away, HARPER'S ISLAND is set to air at 10pm on Thursday 9th April 2009. Since I know you're all eagerly awaiting the premiere, I've set a countdown timer above so we can keep track of how many days there are to go
2008
During a search the other day, I came across two images of Elaine we haven't seen before which you can preview below ...
A ROOM WITH A VIEW will air on ABC TV in Australia on Sunday night at 8:30pm.
A Room With A View 8:30pm Sunday, 16 Nov 2008Entertainment
The star-studded and long-awaited remake of EM Forster's classic romance, adapted for television by Andrew Davies (Bleak House, Bridget Jones' Diary).
Timothy Spall (Auf Weidershen Pet, Harry Potter), and his son Rafe Spall (Hot Fuzz, The Chatterley Affair), appear together for the first time alongside Elaine Cassidy, Sinead Cusack, Elizabeth McGovern and an all-star ensemble cast.
Florence 1922. Alone and independent, Lucy (Elaine Cassidy - Fingersmith) recalls her experience ten years earlier when, chaperoned by her cousin Charlotte (Sophie Thompson), she arrives at Pensione Bertolini looking for Italian adventure.
Instead she finds herself in a safe haven for English tourists including spinsters, and clergymen - plus the outspoken socialist Mr Emerson (Timothy Spall) and his dashing son George (Rafe Spall). The Emerson's offer up their room with a view to the newcomers.
Despite Charlotte's disapproval, Lucy gradually finds herself drawn to the Emersons, and in an unguarded moment, George passionately kisses her. Horrified, Charlotte whisks Lucy off to Rome, and into the arms of a more appropriate gentleman, Cecil Vyse (Lawrence Fox - Lewis, Becoming Jane).
Lucy tries to forget her passionate kiss with George, and returns home to England engaged to the elegant aristocrat Vyse.
However, the Emerson's unexpected arrival in Lucy's village upset her plans; now she must make a choice between the status and security she would have with Cecil, or the passionate uncertainty offered by George.
A Room with a View was filmed entirely on location in Florence and London.
.... don't forget to also tune in to ABC 1 at 10:10pm this Saturday night for the second last episode of THE GHOST SQUAD
Just a quick update to let you all know, I've found another interview with Elaine chatting to photographer/editor/publisher, Howard Webster, which you can access by clicking the mp3 player in the previous post below ... enjoy
After scouring the internet the other night for anything new on Elaine, I happened to stumble across a whole heap of new images of Elaine I'd never seen before. I've added some below for you to check out and the rest you can view in the GALLERY
Big thanks goes out to Lou for finding, recording & providing this interview of Elaine on RTE Radio, which took place this month. You can check out the interview in the mp3 player below. It's quite large so make sure to pre-load it first before playing.
Over the coming weeks, I will slowly be converting this website into a Content Management System (CMS) which will make updating the site a LOT easier. Right now, I do everything by hand, which can take a lot of time to upkeep, esepcially when you're working, so I thought changing it to a system which is kind of similar to the FORUM and GALLERY, which keeps everything dynamicaly stored in databases and does all the file handling automatically would be a good idea and something you guys will benefit a lot from as well.
If you see funky things happening from time to time when you visit, don't panic, it will just be me playing around with the new format
Repeats of THE GHOST SQUAD are airing on ABC TV Australia starting this Saturday 04 October at 10:10pm; so if you haven't seen it, make sure to tune in to see Elaine in one of her best roles to date.
Thanks to member waitforkate, we have a new interview with Elaine from Nylon Magazine and a stunning picture to accompany it. You can see a smaller version of the picture below and the larger version in the GALLERY along with the actual printed article.
Many thanks again to waitforkate for scanning this and letting us use it
Speaking of television, LITTLE WHITE LIE as you know, aired in Ireland recently and was available online for 21 days for everyone else to watch. Although it had some streaming/software issues, I was lucky enough to see the full movie and although it copped some pretty nasty reviews, I thought it was quite cute, funny and enjoyable to watch. Both Elaine and Andrew were great in their respective roles; so what those reviewers were on about I'll never know. Simple light-hearted entertainment isn't as acceptable nor enjoyable anymore apparently
For all who didn't get to see it or couldn't due to those streaming/software issues, let's hope that despite it's flogging in the press, it still gets picked up and is released on DVD soon. Will keep you posted if I hear anything.
Those of you lucky enough to be living in Ireland and who happen to be fans of Elaine Cassidy will get to see her new comedy LITTLE WHITE LIE, which will air on RTÉ One on Monday 4th August at 9:30pm.
Although there is no definite release date outside of Ireland as yet, there are ongoing negotiations with international sales agents so hopefully we won’t have to wait too long before one of them snaps it up to show on television in the UK and further abroad!
New photos of Elaine and hubby Stephen Lord attending the Carnegie Abbey Club Launch Party at Whisky Mist have been added to the GALLERY as well as a taster below.
Despite rumours floating around the internet about actors being replaced and more recently, Australian actress Stephanie McIntosh getting a call back for the 'lead' in the new CBS horror/drama HARPER'S ISLAND, I can confirm Elaine is still the lead in the series, which is excellent news for all Elaine Cassidy fans
In other news, I have started a new website for Elaine's hubby, actor Stephen Lord which you can visit at www.stephenlordonline.com. So far it only contains a GALLERY and FORUM, which you're all welcome to join, and a full website containing all the latest news, reviews and interviews on Stephen to come soon, so stay tuned
Speaking of other news, I have also created a new ECSite YouTube channel for all Elaine related videos created by the Elaine Cassidy::Love 'n' Lemons members, so if you'd like to submit a video, let me know and I'll add it or if you prefer, just simply link to us to promote your vids
