Ringer - Comic Con 2011 Clips

Okay so in the next few days, expect me to be doing more of these Comic Con themed blogs. Today, it's Ringer but in the next few days, I'll also be doing ones for Dexter, True Blood, Glee, Doctor Who and Torchwood.

First of all there's a gorgeous poster released with the main cast - Sarah Michelle Gellar (Siobhan/Bridget), Ioan Gruffudd (Andrew), Nestor Carbonelli (Victor) and Kristoffer Polaha (Henry) - otherwise known as the twins, the husband, the agent and the other man. Even now this show seems a little more grown up for the likes of the CW.

The cast themselves seem on fine form and Gellar in particular has been a delight in interviews with her gushing about experiencing Comic Con. As for the series itself, executive producers Eric Charmelo and Nicole Snyder have promised plenty of twists, including the fact that one of the sisters is driven by revenge and the other redemption. I bet I can guess which is driven by what. Also unlike a lot of other high concept series, the producers have also promised answers each week too. The more I read about this series, the more I look forward to it.

Ringer - Season 1 Trailer

You have the wrong girl!

I'm not gonna lie - as a big fan of Sarah Michelle Gellar, I am excited for Ringer. It could be wonderful or it could be terrible but either way, after the recent spate of trailers and clips the CW have launched, I am in. Consider me watching it. Scratch that, I'll be reviewing this episodically for the blog.

As a twin myself (I have a sister, we look nothing alike), I love the premise of Gellar playing twins - rich bitch Siobhan Martin and her estranged, drug addicted sister, Bridget (who seems the nicer of the two) and one of them appearing dead as the other assumes the dead one's identity, with illuminating and dangerous results.

The trailer the CW released is definitely tantalising - both women have messy lives, one of them is on the run from the mob and another tried to kill her sister. Add some interesting guy candy with Ioan Gruffud (playing Siobhan's husband) and Nestor Carbonelli (Bridget's saviour of sorts) and I think this show could be a winner. It's a shame CBS passed on this but hopefully with the CW, it will gain a loyal audience.

Ringer - Sarah Michelle Gellar's Heading Back To TV

It's been a while since the lovely Sarah Michelle Gellar's been on our TV screens. Eight years since the end of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, the actress has starred in some hit and miss movies, had a baby and nearly a series on HBO (The Wonderful Maladys), which sadly didn't make it to the airwaves but now CBS have her in a dual starring role in a series called Ringer by Peter Traugott.

The series sees Gellar playing the role of Bridget, a woman who goes on the run from the mob and assumes her twin sister, Siobhan's identity, only to learn that Siobhan too has a hit on her from the mob (what did both these girls do to piss off the mob?). In further details released, it also seems that Siobhan ends up being killed in a boating accident and Bridget (whilst posing as her sister) has to uncover the circumstances behind Siobhan's death as well.

Traugott has maintained in recent interviews that the Bridget/Siobhan are somewhat different to Gellar's most famous TV role (I should hope so) but that there's an edge to the character as well. As premises go, this one definitely has a lot of potential and it would be nice to finally have Sarah Michelle Gellar back on our TV screens. God knows she's been absent long enough.

What does everyone else think of this?
