A few days ago, things looked pretty bleak for Women's Murder Club.

In fact, on Thursday the crew started striking the set, according to Ask Ausiello. But yesterday, ABC announced that the drama has a new showrunner, Robert Nathan, and Murder Club could be back on the air by April. Come on back, ladies.

The plan is to shoot three new episodes this season — and ratings for those episodes will determine whether we'll have a second season of Women's Murder Club. In other words, if you like it, watch it. If you haven't watched it, here are four good reasons to start. … continue reading

Ahhh, lesbian hair. That much-maligned subject of punch lines everywhere. Historically, gay women’s hairstyles haven’t always had the best reputation. And I’m not even going to mention the dreaded M-word. While I have no problem with business in the front, party in the back when it comes to your personal life, I refuse to accept it on your head.

Now that shooting for Dead Like Me is a wrap, MGM has released casting news for the movie. As expected, all the original cast is back except for Mandy Patinkin (Rube) and Laura Harris (Daisy Adair).

Ellen Muth returns as George Lass, who’s as comically cynical about death as she was about life. George narrates the movie, just as she did the series.

Replacing Laura Harris, who has a lead role in ABC’s Women’s Murder Club, as Daisy Adair is Sarah Wynter, perhaps best known as the perpetually shocked Kate Warner on season 2 of 24. (A trivia tidbit: Harris played Warner's sister, Marie.)
