Some updates (Con, John Barrowman & Alex)
First RingCon guests have been announced. Dylan Neal und Daniel Falconer von WETA :D But well, still a long time to go *g* http://www.ringcon.de/pages_en/rc_10/guests.php
John Barrowman confirmed that he has signed a contract for a fourth season of Torchwood. Probably with 13 episodes: http://www.serienjunkies.de/news/torchwood-barrowman-24149.html
Not much of a surprise but not it’s official - Alex new show Three Rivers has been cancelled: http://www.serienjunkies.de/news/three-rivers-24145.html Hopefully they will still air the last 5 episodes. To be honest it really wasn’t the best show, but I’m sad for Alex! He already wrote a touching message on his myspace:

THREE RIVERS
Hey everyone.....
Well, like usual I have been meaning to write you all and, like usual, not getting around to it. Before Thanksgiving..... during Thanksgiving....after Thanksgiving! But today, I thought I better get to it.....
A lot of you probably already know this, because you guys know what's happening in my life before I do, but today I was informed that Three Rivers would soon draw to an end. To be honest I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
After Moonlight was canceled I needed to go away and regroup for a while. I was hesitant to engage in another show at all, even when Three Rivers was proposed, but I realized immediately how important this story was and would be. This, the story of so many different people all around the world who's lives have somehow been affected by organ donation and transplant medicine.
I often catch myself saying things like "We're actors! We're not curing cancer or feeding the hungry." (Of course referring to the fact I don't always feel that as an actor my job is that important or relevant.) But I soon realized that Three Rivers would be a source of great comfort to those aforementioned people, providing perhaps for the first time an accurate and cathartic experience directly related to that which they all shared.
Already in this short time I have received so many beautiful letters of support and gratitude from so many of you who have lost loved ones, and also shared the gift of life with others as a result of those tragedies. And this sudden cancellation has rocked me completely.
As most of you know, through Three Rivers I was blessed to have been afforded the chance to work with the organization Donate Life America. This potential opportunity was one of the main reasons I agreed to do the show, and having only recently finished my Ambassador training I had become an official spokesperson. We have done a couple of events and some PSA's and there has been growing excitement about the possibilities of exposure and support we at Three Rivers could provide as the show gained in numbers and strength. Well, though the news of the show is heartbreaking I view it as nothing more than a temporary setback in the work I plan to do with Donate Life America. For me this is just the beginning of what I hope to be a long relationship.
To be honest I don't really know what else to say. I am beginning my process of detachment and will be in touch soon.
All my love,....
