Felicia Day Talks About Her ‘Eureka’ Love Triangle With Fargo and Wil Wheaton!

Filed under: featured,Interviews,News — Tags: , , — Sarah Kim @ 2:39 am

I had a blast watching Felicia Day (Buffy, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog) kick some CGI werewolf ass last Saturday in the Syfy original movie Red: Werewolf Hunter. (Don’t judge me … I can feel you judging me.) During a conference call last week to promote the TV flick, Day also spoke to reporters about her upcoming role on Syfy’s Eureka.

Day will play a scientist named Dr. Holly Martin on the quirky sci-fi series when it returns to the tube next year. Not much of a big surprise, I know, but there’s more … Day says her character will be involved in a love triangle plot with Fargo (Neil Grayston) and Dr. Isaac Parish (Will Wheaton)! Wow! (In case you didn’t already know, Day and Wheaton played an on-again-off-again couple on Day’s brilliant web series The Guild). Eureka really knows how to cater (pander?) to nerds, doesn’t it?

Anyway, I’m really looking forward to seeing Day on the show. Eureka used to be a guilty pleasure for me, but this season’s great batch of episodes has turned me into a true fan of the show. Want more details about Day’s role and the upcoming episodes of Eureka? Head after the jump for some quotes from the conference call Q&A.

Nathan Stark and His Beard Return to ‘Eureka’

Filed under: News,Video — Tags: , , , — Mike Moody @ 8:21 pm

It’s been a pretty shiny year for Eureka: the quirky dramedy is currently experiencing something of a creative resurgence with a risky reboot plot, and Syfy just renewed the show for a fifth season.

Syfy also recently  announced a handful of awesome guest stars for the show, including Marvel Comics king Stan Lee, Stargate Universe cast member Ming-Na, and The Guild’s Felicia Day. The guests will start rollin’ in this Friday with a special appearance from former series star Ed Quinn.

Quinn returns as Nathan Stark in this week’s episode, cleverly titled ‘The Ex-Files.’ It seems that Nathan, much like Smallville’s Lionel Luthor, has cheated death for a chance to screw with the show’s major players one more time. How’d he do it? We’re not sure, but something tells us it has something to do with his magical beard. Check out a clip of this Friday’s episode, which also features Jamie Ray Newman as Tess, after the jump, and enjoy Quinn’s appearance in the final shot.
