Pacific update

The Pacific is a forthcoming Australian-filmed mini-series which was made before Out of the Blue but still hasn't hit the airwaves. Among its cast of well-known faces from Aussie drama are Aidan Gillett (Daniel McManus) and Zoe Carides (Pia Jones).

TV Tonight reported this week that the show isn't expected to premiere until 2010 but will air across the globe, in territories including the US, UK, Germany and France.

Aidan has confirmed to fans on Facebook that he has a small role in the first episode and really enjoyed being involved in the project.

From the creators of Band of Brothers, The Pacific will air in 10 parts and tell the story of three Marines during America's battle with the Japanese in World War II.

Clips: Blade's revenge

Blade's final encounter with Bec and Kirsten was one of the scariest moments of the whole series, and you can now relive it with the videos below.

Clip: Lucia's secrets revealed

Here's another recent clip of Out of the Blue from our Youtube channel. This one shows Lucia's secret relationship being revealed, and she also lets slip a possible clue about Philby's murder.

One of the great things about this clip is how, at first, it seems like an ordinary 'forbidden love' type storyline... but then you get the added sinister twist of what Lucia might know about Philby's death. Out of the Blue always seems to keep you guessing and goes just that bit further than other soaps, constantly keeping viewers on their toes.

Enjoy.

Zoe Carides update

Zoe Carides is certainly keeping busy lately. Following her contribution to the Short & Sweet theatre festival in Sydney, the woman known best to us as Pia Jones is now doing some directing.

She's in charge of a production of the Pulitzer-nominated play Love Letters by A.R. Gurney, currently on at the Factory Theatre in Sydney. The show's run is raising money and awareness for the Hope for Cambodian Children charity.

The Australian Stage Online website has more info and they're very complimentary about Zoe's work:

"Director Zoe Carides hasn't tampered: she's had the courage, intelligence and discernment to adopt a 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' approach. If only more directors knew when to take a step back, rather than make an indelible stamp."

A few updates

- Out of the Blue has now aired its first episode on Fiver! The advert for it has been put on at pretty much every opportunity over the past two weeks, and anyone who was intrigued by the promotion has now had a glimpse of what the show is like. The Fiver announcer said that it was great to have another Aussie soap on the air, and declared that the first episode was "awesome". If she thought that was awesome, she'll be running out of adjectives in a couple of weeks once the murder mystery has started properly and the really good episodes have started to air!

- The show is available to watch online via Demand Five. Thanks to Alaina for the link.

- In Aussie news, the show has now aired for the final time in its 30-minute 6pm Sunday night slot. As previously discussed on here, it now starts airing double episodes from 5.30pm to 6.30pm each week, starting this Sunday. As well as airing the usual Sunday evening episode yesterday, Ten also put a new episode on after midnight. It was time for the Lucia/Kirsten/Blade storyline, and as the episode had an "M" rating for adult content, they couldn't show it in the early evening - at least not without making cuts. Hopefully this will be the last scheduling mishap and the show now gets some stability in Oz.

- The number of signatures on the Save Out of the Blue petition continues to rise as more fans realise that Thursday's BBC Two episode was the last one. Though they couldn't be bothered to tell fans this after the episode had aired, the BBC have now updated their homepage for the show for the first time in months to include the message: "Out of the Blue is no longer being shown on the BBC."

- Over the next few months we'll try to pass on any information we can find about what the cast are up to. Here's our first nugget of news: Zoe Carides, who played Pia Jones on the show, has been taking part in the Short & Sweet Festival in Sydney. The theatre event sees audiences turning out not just to watch one play, but to watch 10 or 11 - with each being just 10 minutes long.

Zoe's play is called Duals. According to the Australian Stage website, the short production explores "fame, fidelity and family". It seems that the site's reviewer was impressed by Zoe, too: "Brilliantly cast, this piece is clearly theatrically sophisticated: and brilliantly acted. Zoe Carides as the genuine and forgiving makeup artist Susan, is well matched to the diva actor Tessa (Alice Ansara)."
