New job for Sophia - Spooks/MI-5

[allegrita]

Oh, wow...that's gripping!

Great trailer! It really makes me want to watch even knowing nothing about the show.

Ooooh. Sophia sounds mysterious!

Go Girl!

I don't know about you guys but I'm dreaming about some sort of inter-agency thing where Beth Bailey has to come to Hawaii, meets Steve with THAT voice and sparks fly. Oh - and the sky in my world is mint green.

Lovely interview from TV Choice magazine:

It's so nice to hear what Sophia's been up to.

Thank you very much for that link, Red. I really enjoyed reading that interview!

Isn't she a fascinating person?! I admire her so much. She's intelligent and thoughtful, and she puts a great deal of work and care into the characters she plays, but she has fun with them, too. And I think it makes her characters seem deeper and more real. I loved what she said about being happy that her current character doesn't have a love interest--I agree that it's rare for a strong woman character not to have a love interest...it must be nice to play a character who isn't defined by the guy she's with.

I think she's a little nuts to have backpacked alone in Thailand, but since she came out OK, I'm really happy for her that she took the opportunity. And it sounds as if she got a great deal out of the experience. She sounds so grounded and happy.

What a lovely interview. I feel like I got a better sense of her in those few short answers than I ever did before this. I really hope to get the opportunity to see her in this.

Wow - loads of articles to post!! In addition to these, there are big articles in two magazines that I'll try to get scanned as soon as I can.

First, from This is London, with some MASSIVE scoop:

I saw her too Red, I'm not surprised her hands were on her lap or the tables most of the time, she must be exhausted carrying that rock about I would need hourly naps

I am so thrilled for her and she was definitely enjoying herself this morning and she got her food heaven too Did you see the doughnuts I want to make them? well actually easier just to send me some

I love the fact Spooks starts on Monday night at 9pm on the 20th September and except for the timezone difference Alex's new role in H5-0 kick's off at the same time but in a different continent. Our Mick and Beth, they may move on but they are forever tied

[redwinter101]

It's karma.

(And a very yummy yes on the doughnuts. )
