Kate Moennig plays doctor in the first promo pictures for "Three Rivers"You know who is not looking very Shane today? Kate Moennig. The first cast promo shots for the former The L Word star’s new medical series, Three Rivers, were released recently. Can I just say, whoa.
OK, before we can proceed we must discuss this image. First, I’m not sure Shane would approve of this haircut. Also, is it just me or did the marketing department find a “Femme-Up” tool in Photoshop and just go crazy? Though, I am happy to see Kate’s patented pout is still alive and well.
The show follows organ transplantation from three points of view: the doctors, the donors and the recipients. Kate plays Dr. Miranda Foster, a member of the elite surgical team who has a rebellious streak and fiery temper. She also happens to the daughter of the revered surgeon the medical wing is named after. I wonder how wardrobe will accessorize that chip on her shoulder each episode.
Rounding out the cast are Alex O'Loughlin (Moonlight) as lead surgeon Dr. Andy Yablonski, Daniel Henney as womanizing surgeon Dr. David Lee and Christopher J. Hanke as the newbie transplant coordinator Ryan Abbott. Julia Ormond was originally cast in the pilot as Dr. Sophia Jordan, the head of surgery at Three Rivers Hospital. But after the show was picked up, she was let go. Stepping into her surgical shoes instead will be four-time Emmy winner Alfre Woodard. Now I would have loved to see Julia make a comeback, but you can really never go wrong when you cast Alfre. She is uniformly excellent in everything she does.
The new fall season is thick with medical dramas. Besides Three Rivers there is also Trauma and Mercy. Of course, Three Rivers is the only show that has Kate. So, there’s that. Find out more about the new series in this behind-the-scenes sneak peek. So what do you think? Will you be checking into Three Rivers? And, seriously, Kate, it’s too bad you burned down Wax because you could use a visit, STAT. Submitted by on August 3, 2009 - 10:00am. |

Of course
I'll watch everything that has Kate on it, besides, I've always liked medical shows, must be the reason of why I'm on med school maybe. Anyway, is it just me or was it like seeing Shane on scrubs? That voice.... man! I love her!
When does it premiere?
Go away, Michael Douglas!
I'm personally looking
I'm personally looking forward to seeing KM play an entirely different character. As someone who didn't see the appeal that Shane had, it'll be nice to see a little depth. I think it should also be kept in mind that promo pics *always* make people look like plastic Barbie dolls...
is it just me
or does she look a tad bit like lena headey?
if not in face, perhaps in aura.

let's just pretend i said something constructive and intelligent.
it's nice to see that Kate
it's nice to see that Kate Moennig finally looks like her hair has been washed and/or isn't loaded down with a ton of products. not everyone liked or found sexy the basically skanky look her Shane character seemed to sport in every of The L-word season.
also, as a talented and versatile actor, she shouldn't be expected to be Shane in every role. that sort of expectation aka typecasting is what's killed a lot of careers. sure some people are the same in every role, pretty much just playing themselves all the time (Jack Nicolson, for example, although he does it fantastically, but not everyone is JN).
Skanky look
Hair
Ugh, the dialogue is awful.
Ugh, the dialogue is awful. It needs a script transplant.
Good luck to Kate though, I hope it does well for her.

Script transplant...
That made me laugh out loud.
I was never into the "Shane" look, but I am definitely up for playing doctor ;)
Mr Perfect!!
I know this is about Kate Moenig but DANIEL HENNEY IS IN THE SHOW?!?! I'm soooo watching it, he's my man crush lol watch Seducing Mr. Perfect and you'll know. He's all over the states now, I just hope they don't ruin him 'cause he's my favourite Korean actor!
*partir en premier ne veut pas toujours dire arriver en premier*
totally agree
yay!
I kinda feel bad saying this on AE especially on a post about Kate! I adore her and am happy that she's got a job after the abomination that was S6 of TLW. But Mr. Henney is simply yummy and that is out of pure vanity. Seducing Mr. Perfect is an amazing movie, I'm a sucker for Korean movies and it's one of my all time favourites.
*partir en premier ne veut pas toujours dire arriver en premier*
Ill be looking forward to it
Hahaha.
I love Kate
but I don't really love the hairstyle. Not that I would expect her to keep the 'Shane' hairstyle for everything she does from now on, I just don't think this particular look is good. I obviously can't say for sure since I don't know Kate in real life, but I don't think she'd rock this hairstyle. She and this hairstyle are two different personalities. She didn't have the 'Shane' hairstyle on "Young Americans" but it was still a believable look.
Very featured
The problem is this maybe
from the new poster for 3R ;)
wow
see i just think she looks well good there i didn't really like her look on the l word but this picture is pretty hot.
Kate Moennig>>

i agree
She might be all "done up" for publicity stills...

Woah.
I'm not kidding, when I first clicked on this article, I was like "Uhh... Where's
ShaneKate?" Then did a double take at that picture. Woah.Will most probably be tuning in.
Will probably take a looong while though to get used to

Kate Looks Amazing
D.A.M.N
When is it going to start
When is it going to start airing? I heard this fall, but what date, time network?
http://www.WomenOnGuard.com
CBS I believe...
I think I've seen ads during Guiding Light. Being cynical, I think CBS knows their audience (lots of queer ladies watching GL right now and Kate coming in from The L Word) even if they won't let the Otalia ladies kiss...sigh... Not sure the actual start date for Three Rivers though, but I'll bet they have them on the CBS website...
Break me offa piece of that Kate-Kat Bar.

kate-kat bar
Wow.
Definately not looking too Shane in those promotional pictures, but still smokin' if you ask me. I'm definately going to watch this. I think that she's a really great actress, and I love watching anything she's in, period.
It's taking place in Pittsburgh. Too bad that it's most likely not going to be filmed there, considering I live right outside of Pittsburgh. Oh, well.
I think she looks better here
I agree 210%.

"But to see her was to love her, love but her, and love forever."
Ahhh!
I noticed that too, because I have those shoes! Those same shoes! Yep. This must mean something. Obviously I was meant to be a surgeon.
Good!!!
I am so "gladd" that Kate got a prime time gig, golly I hope she gets some good writing and some real screen time for a damn change. Yes; she's a hottie but; she's not just a pretty face and I'd like to see just how far she can go. On the surface seems like a good spot for her -- we'll see.
Good luck Kate - I'll be watching!!
If the show turns out to be a hit....
