As The Lying Game goes further into the season, more and more questions come up with the multi leveled plot lines. One of the newer shocker revelations involves Justin, played by Randy Wayne. He reveals his true intentions for seeking out a relationship with Laurel, but has to come clean with her when he realizes that he cares for her more than a little.
Lisa Kudrow is probably best known for her role as Phoebe Green on Friends, but she is so much more. Kudrow has not only starred in a variety of roles, both in film and on television, but she is also one of the executive producers on NBC's Who Do You Think You Are?
Anna Silk stars as Bo in the newly acquired Syfy series Lost Girl. Bo struggles as she learns why she is different – she is a Fae, a succubus to be exact, who feeds off of human sexual energy to survive. She must learn to control her hunger and stay safe as the two opposing clans, the Light Fae and the Dark Fae, try to force her to choose sides. She is helped by Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried), a detective and shape-shifter of the Light Fae, and Dr. Lauren Lewis (Zoie Palmer), a human, both who become one-third of Bo’s love triangle.
David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf have worked together for over 30 years and have had such hits as Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Angel, National Treasure, and Rush Hour, among others over their long careers. They have taken time out their schedule to have a very enlightening interview on their new show Grimm, airing on Friday nights.
Lost Girl, which recently premiered on Syfy, is a supernatural drama that follows the life of Bo, played by Anna Silk, who after years of draining people finally learns that she is Fae, a succubus to be exact, and as such needs human sexual energy to survive. In the premiere, she rescues a girl, Kenzi, played by Ksenia Solo. Thankful, and previously alone, she befriends Bo and decides to help her in her quest to find out who she is and how to control her powers.
Dichen Lachman has appeared in several television series and movies in the past, but she is probably best known for her role of Sierra/Priya in the Joss Whedon series Dollhouse, in which she got to take on a multitude of characters.
Television and movies for kids and pre-teens have changed over the years, some for the good and some not so good, as one would figure with the changing times. ABC Family has been putting out some very entertaining shows, and using the talented actors/actresses out of those shows have created some very entertaining movies. The latest movie that has aired is a new spin on Cinderella, A Cinderella Story: Once Upon A Song, where they modernize it a bit and add some more contemporary songs and dance numbers to the basic storyline.
ABC Family is having quite the run with the drama suspense shows, and The Lying Game doesn't disappoint. Although the show revolves around the storyline of the twins and the life style switcheroo they do, they are developing the other characters along rather nicely. As they weave the storylines along with all characters, you soon find yourself wanting to see what is going on with the others and not just the sisters.
