Well, Bridget made the list of Pop Crunch’s Top 50 Hottest Women of Sci-Fi/Fantasy. She comes in at #41. And while I’m sure many of us think she should be higher, it is an honor to be chosen when she’s on a relatively low-profile show, compared to things like the Star Wars movies and the recent Star Trek film.  So, let’s be happy for her and thankful if this article gives Bridget and the show some more exposure!

It appears that Bridget and Craig have other mentions in the latest Portrait. The first is that they are mentioned in the “Breakout Stars of ‘09″ article. They are brought up near the bottom of the page. You can find that here: http://www.portraitmagazine.net/archives/breakout09.html

And, for our second tidbit, break out your voting mouse clicking fingers, folks. It’s the Portrait Choice Awards 2009. Bridget is nominated in the following categories: Best Female Television Performance, Breakthrough Female Performance and Best Dressed Female. And not to be outdone, even though this is technically a Bridget site, Craig has been nominated too, so let’s show him our support as well. He is nominated in the categories of Best Male Television Performance, Breakthrough Male Performance and Best Male Character for his portrayal of Richard Cypher. Let’s see if we can make them winners again! The voting can be found here: http://www.portraitmagazine.net/choiceawards.html

Thanks to Amanda for bringing this to our attention! Now let’s get voting!

Well, the results are in and, thanks to your votes, Bridget finished at #20! Not too bad! We’d like to thank everyone who voted, hopefully this will help out Bridget’s career and we’ll get to see even more of her in the future. There’s a little write-up about her along with the rest of the winners at the Portrait website here: http://www.portraitmagazine.net/archives/top302009.html

‘Seeker’ Star Found Spotlight
By Karla Peterson November 15, 2009

How does a thoroughly modern girl from sunny San Diego prepare to play a dagger-wielding, mind-controlling heroine from another TV dimension?

If you are “Legend of the Seeker” star Bridget Regan, it helps to start early.

“I was always quite determined,” the 27-year-old actress said. “Apparently, I wore white cowboy boots for a year straight when I was 5. My mom always said there was no arguing with me.”

She was born and raised in Carlsbad, and her parents still live there. But Regan spends nine months of the year in New Zealand shooting “Legend of the Seeker,” a fantasy drama now in its second season. The show airs locally on KSWB/Channel 69 (Cable 5).

TV Tidbits – MISSING SCHOOL: UNCSA GRAD CHERISHES EDUCATION
by Tim Clodfelter November 8, 2009

[HBE.com note: We've extracted just Bridget's part of the article, click the link at the end to read the entire thing.]

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.

Legend of the Seeker Stars Spill on the New Season’s Supersexy Love Triangle
by Jennifer Godwin November 6, 2009

Legend of the Seeker, a syndicated fantasy series you may never have heard of but that’s actually pretty darn entertaining, returns this weekend for a swashbuckling second season.

We just caught up with series stars Bridget Regan and Craig Horner to learn what we can expect for Mother Confessor Kahlan Amnell and Seeker of Truth Richard Cypher in the new episodes. (Psst…if you’re not familiar with the show, please don’t be put off by the fancy nomenclature derived from the Sword of Truth books on which the series is based. Mother Confessor just means “superhot nun with fighting skills” and a Seeker of Truth is, more or less, a noble knight in a shining armor. You’ve met their like before.)

So, what is to come in season two? We heard tell of leather-clad bad girls, jealous wenches and some sexy body-swapping…

Bridget tweeted on Thursday that she’d be coming back to the US in about a month. I’m assuming that this trip is so that she can make the press rounds to promote second season of Legend of the Seeker. If you all would do us a HUGE favor and watch out for any Bridget articles or interviews that we miss, we’d appreciate it. We’re only two people and there tends to be a LOT of press for the show. We just don’t want to miss anything or miss telling other fans about it. Thanks!

Chris and I would like to take a moment to note the passing of one of Bridget’s Legend of the Seeker co-stars, Joy Watson. Joy played the older version of Shota in the episodes Reckoning and Identity. She died as the result of a car crash in the UK where she was attending a WWII evacuee reunion. Aside from missing her on the show, she sounds as though she led a wonderful life and our condolences go out to her family.
