The Ringer

Just having a little peek at The Ringer starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. I did miss the start, so it's a little tricky working out exactly what is going on, however, the one thing I have noticed is that Sarah Michelle is Buffy, and Buffy only. Well maybe she could stretch to Daphne in Scooby Doo, but she doesn't really work as anyone else for me. Sorry Sarah Michelle, you actually suck a little and have lost your cuteness, and I did so love you as Buffy.

However, the very cute Kristoffer Polaha also stars. Most recently seen in LIFE UNEXPECTED. (connection to Sarah...once did an ep of Angel!!)

The Ringer

Love the fact that soon we will see Buffy back on our small screens.  Sarah Michelle Geller has taken the last 2 1/2 years off for mum duty but now she's back in what looks like a very interesting new show. 

In The Ringer Sarah Michelle plays Bridget who is six months sober and starting to turn her life around when she is the sole witness to a professional hit. Despite the assurances of her FBI protector, Agent Victor Machado (Nestor Carbonell), Bridget knows her life is on the line. She flees to New York, telling no one, not even her Narcotics Anonymous sponsor, Malcolm. In New York, Bridget reunites with her estranged twin, Siobhan (also Gellar). Wealthy, pampered and married to the strikingly handsome Andrew Martin (Ioan Gruffudd), Siobhan lives what appears to be a fairy tale life — a life where no one knows that Bridget exists. The sisters seem to be mending their frayed relationship, until Siobhan disappears mysteriously, and Bridget makes the split decision to take on her sister’s identity. She discovers shocking secrets, not only about her sister and her marriage, but also about Siobhan’s best friend, Gemma (Tara Summers), and Gemma’s husband, Henry (Kristoffer Polaha). And when someone tries to kill Bridget in her sister’s penthouse, she realizes she is no safer as Siobhan than she is as herself.


Sounds fabulous and very 'film noir'.
