There might be hope for a Moonlight reunion on Three Rivers
The networks are in the process of recasting some of their new shows before the fall season starts. Some of the shows getting new cast members include ABC's The Forgotten, CBS' NCIS: Los Angeles, and Three Rivers, also from CBS.Don't worry Alex O'Loughlin fans. Three Rivers' hunky vamp turned transplant surgeon isn't going anywhere. But his lead co-star, Julia Ormond, has been shown the door. CBS has yet to announce who will replace Ormond on the show. If they're smart, the network will try to nab O'Loughlin's former Moonlight co-star, Sophia Myles, to replace Ormond.
Our coverage of Moonlight and our recent interview with O'Loughlin taught us a few things: There are tons of Moonlight fans out there. They love O'Loughlin, and they'll watch anything he does. O'Loughlin fans also love Sophia Myles. They couldn't get enough of Mick and Beth's season-long love story on Moonlight.
The idea of casting Myles in Three Rivers might seem like a cheap gimmick to grab and keep Moonlight's devoted audience, and it might be, but it's more than that.
Myles is a great actress. Plus she's beautiful and her onscreen chemistry with O'Loughlin can't be beat. Simply put, Three Rivers might turn out to be a better show with Myles on board, and CBS will have an even bigger instant fanbase for the show once it debuts in the fall. I might even watch it.
What do you say, Moonlight fans? Do you want to see Sophia Myles on Three Rivers?
