As is being reported by Deadline, TV Guide, and TV Line Bridget has been cast in a new NBC pilot called Frontier! The show focuses on a group traveling from Missouri to the West Coast in the 1840s. Bridget will be playing Hannah who is making the trip with her husband.

What happens from this point? They shoot the pilot and, to the best of my understanding, they then ship it off to NBC so they can decide if they want to finance an entire season. Like Wonder Woman last year, they filmed the pilot but Fox didn’t pick the show up. The same thing can happen in this case, it is all up to NBC. If you would like to send a nice note to NBC letting them know how much you love Bridget and are happy that she may once again be gracing your screen on a weekly basis, stop by their Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/nbc. It can’t hurt for NBC to know that Bridget already has a dedicated fan base that would watch her new show.

Thanks to Jason for the TV Line link!

Bridget will be in an episode of Person of Interest tomorrow, Thursday, December 15th at 9:00 Eastern Time in the US. See images here!

Thank you for this, Mary!

Bridget’s Legend of the Seeker co-star Tabrett Bethell has joined the cast of ABC’s new pilot, Poe. The show centers around Edgar Allan Poe in a crime fighting procedural. Congrats Tabrett! We look forward to seeing you on our screens once again next fall!

Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in the Christchurch, NZ area in the wake of today’s massive earthquake, the second in only 5 months. New Zealand has served as such a wonderful backdrop for fantasy shows like Legend of the Seeker as well as Lord of the Rings and by all accounts the people there have been absolutely fantastic to the various film crews. We are saddened beyond belief by today’s events and Chris and I hope that if you have anyone in that part of the world, they’re doing ok.

… not Bridget. The role has gone to Friday Night Lights actress Adrianne Palicki. Considering the timeline, I can’t help but feel that David E. Kelly already had her on a short list of actresses he was interested in seeing get the role. However, this does give Bridget more time to work with Camp W. as well as promoting The Best and the Brightest. Congratulations to Adrianne, I hope the show is fantastic and gives an entirely new generation of girls a strong female heroine to look up to.

The Wonder Woman Script is officially out! What does this mean? From here the script gets sent to agents/managers and they and their actors decide if they want to go out for the role.

At this point we have no reason to believe Bridget doesn’t want the role and until someone official tells us something to the contrary, we’re going to keep on championing her for the role.

What can you do now?  Contact  David E Kelley Productions at the address below and let them know that you think Bridget Regan is PERFECT for the role!

Now that the dust has settled on the NBC Comcast merger, NBC has announced that it has ordered a Wonder Woman pilot from David E. Kelly! They’ve literally just announced the deal so it will probably some time before we hear anything casting wise. But, here’s hoping that the comments on every article mentioning how perfect Bridget would be as Wonder Woman gets someone’s attention.

On behalf of all of us here at HBE we’d like to congratulate Bridget on the birth of her daughter, Frankie Jean. We can’t think of a better Christmas present or way to start the new year!

We here at Her Blue Eyes would like to send congratulations to Mike Sussman for having the new show, Perception, picked up by TNT. Mike was the producer on Legend of the Seeker and is teamed again with ABC on Perception, as he was with LotS. The new show involves “an eccentric neuroscientist who uses his unique outlook to help the federal government solve complex cases.” Mike has really been great to Her Blue Eyes in the past and we wish him the best of luck in this and any other endeavors he may undertake in the future. We will let you all know when this show is scheduled to be on the air so you can tune in and/or set up your Tivos. Thanks for the support of the site, Mike, and we’re very happy for you!

First of all, Happy Birthday Bridget! Chris and I hope you have a WONDERFUL year full of joy and laughter.

I know that technically Bridget is nearly a day ahead of it, but people were sending me birthday greetings last night to be included in our project and I wanted to make sure I got them all in but I’m really sorry that this is kinda late. Though this does make me wonder about things like if she was born on the 3rd in California wouldn’t that technically be the 4th in New Zealand?

Anyway, I’ve added all of the birthday wishes to the gallery here: http://herblueeyes.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=36. In case you didn’t know, you can click on the image in the gallery to see it full size in a pop up window.

And thanks to everyone who sent in messages for our project! If you see your birthday message and you absolutely hate something about it (font, color, etc.) let me know and I’ll change it.
