Know what's weird? There's no mention of Quinn Lord (kid persona), or the actors who were going to play his tough guy persona and the computer geek persona. Maybe CKR'S playing his all his split identities himself now?

[scriggle]

Could be. It sounds like there was some major reworking of the plot and a lot of recasting done.

The first one, at least, is kinda sad. I just hope Molly Parker's character isn't actually alive XD

[scriggle]

But if she's not alive, we won't get any love scenes!

Yeah, I was wondering about the actors who were supposed to play his other personalities, too. Like I said elsewhere, I hope his wife is NOT one of his identities. ;)

In the first moments of the series, Ben is bonded in blood to his tough, beautiful partner

Sounds interesting.

I'm still totally excited about this show, although some of the re-writing sounds like they watered it down a bit. We need more information, hopefully soon to come.

Thanks for keeping us updated! :)

It seems like TPTB changed direction on that. All the articles point to Callum playing all the personalities. I don't think his wife will be one of the personalities. At least I hope not. If they have Molly as his wife, we better get a love scene or three!

I wonder if all the rewriting is to make it more saleable outside Canada.

Yes. And I have to say, the more I think about it, the more excited I get. This will be an amazing to watch acting challenge, I'm sure.

I bet it is. But did they have to choose the most generic name they could probably think of? Callum is just no "Ben".

Yes, what the hell, it's always good to have so many news popping up.

I'm intrigued about Molly as the wife. Hope she's not part of the blood bath Ben (/\) and his beautiful partner bond over. Maybe she's the dead wife as per scenario 1, and Ben lives with her nevertheless, at least in his head? And very curious about how they'll play the multiple personalities angle now.

And he's no longer an ex-detective now. Okay, now I wait for a trailer...

Maybe the blood bath is about his child dying? I guess that his DID is triggered by an event at the beginning of the series. Also, I'd hate to see Molly die, but what I'd hate even more is a love triangle. And it very much sounds like Camille Sullivan will become a love interest at one point.

Am not sure about this. They said somewhere we'd learn along the line what cause the DID. That would mean, later? But it's been blurred already, is still blurry enough, so all bets are open I guess.

I'm not in favor of a love triangle either. But, they said something like his beautiful partner or something, right? She'd be perfect for his best friend played by Martin Cummins. Yes?

See, we can give them some ideas if they really have to rewrite the script :)
