TV Tidbits – MISSING SCHOOL: UNCSA GRAD CHERISHES EDUCATION

The new season of the syndicated series Legend of the Seeker starts tonight (7 p.m. on WMYV, channel 15), but for star Bridget Regan the season is already at the halfway mark.
Regan, a 2004 graduate of the UNC School of the Arts’ School of Drama, was in the States last week on a publicity jaunt to promote Seeker before returning to film the show’s 11th episode out of 22 that will be produced this season, the show’s second.
The series is a fantasy-adventure that is filmed in New Zealand. She plays Kahlan, an enigmatic warrior who fights the forces of evil alongside a young woodsman and a wizard. “I got to do a swordfight the other day, which was really cool,” Regan said in a phone interview.
Her favorite thing about the role, though, is having the opportunity to develop a character over time.
“I get to make a character grow, make her become stronger and stronger as new experiences come up for her,” she said.
Regan, 27, speaks highly of her days at UNCSA and said she still keeps in touch with Gerald Freedman, the dean of the School of Drama. “I sometimes want to go back there, dress all in black and take another class,” she said. “I love everything about the school. That time of my life is so precious to me…. It’s taught me everything that I need to know.”
Among the things she misses the most about North Carolina, she said, are sweet iced tea and Southern food. “I don’t think New Zealand’s ever even seen a hush puppy,” she said.

This is probably critical for season 3….viewer ratings for episode 1 (season 2) It looks like out on Nov.17th.

Quoted from another source (below)..My guess if these numbers are up in episode 1 (season 2) they are a shoe-in for another season.
yes??
“”Ratings for LOTS season 1 premiere were 4.1 million viewers and 2.5 in the demos. I think, but I’m far from sure that the ratings for the season were pretty steady. So good ratings”"
