Bones - 2 Squinterns to leave the Jeffersonian
15 Dec 2010
BonesTwo of the Bones actors who portray Dr. Brennan's constantly rotating "squinterns" will soon find themselves exploring new job possibilities. Carla Gallo, who plays Daisy Wick, and Ryan Cartwright, who plays Vincent Nigel-Murray, have both been cast in new upcoming series.
Deadline.com announced on Dec. 7 that Syfy had picked up 11 episodes of Cartwright's new series, Alphas. The story will follow a team of "ordinary" people who have extraordinary abilities. David Strathairn has the starring role, with Cartwright appearing in a supporting part.
Hopefully, Cartwright's character will have the extraordinary ability to retain incredible amounts of useless trivia information that somehow often relates to the situation at hand. Because that would be very, very awesome for Bones fans.
The series will begin filming in Toronto this winter and is scheduled to begin with a 90-minute pilot during the summer of 2011.
Carla Gallo's new part will be in a CW pilot entitled Danni Lowinski, in which she will co-star with Amanda Walsh. According to Deadline.com, Walsh plays the title character of the quirky legal show, while Gallo will portray her best friend, Kaz. The plot will follow a hairdresser and law school graduate who, after being turned down by law firms, opens her own legal practice in a shopping mall. In this Legally Blonde-like universe, Gallo's Kaz will be "brassy, a little slutty and fiercely protective of Danni."
While the part is definitely a departure from Gallo's perky and occasionally supremely-irritating Daisy, it may be closer to her guest roles on Men of a Certain Age and Californication.
There is no word yet from Bones as to whether either Daisy or Mr. Nigel-Murray will be able to return to their jobs at the Jeffersonian with the actors' new work commitments. This also brings up the question of whether one of the two squinterns will end up as the victim of 2011's rumored Bones assassin. Or maybe they'll just find other work.
Either way, it's not like we don't have other squinterns to love. And this may even open up the show for even more wannabe Brennans! That couldn't be anything but good.

Going to miss Mr. Nigel Murray.. Daisy only if I'm in a good mood when watching the episode. Out of the entire cast I'd miss Daisy the least if she happened to be killed off. I would like them both to continue as Squinterns if at all possible though. Good luck and congratulations to them both though and I wish them great success :)
ReplyDeleteDaisy is leaving Bones...best news yet! Actually i won't miss either of them.
ReplyDelete1.) Gallo will only be unavailable if her pilot gets picked up. She did a pilot last season too and it didn't go anywhere so she's back. Let's not jump the gun.
ReplyDelete2.) Cartwright's filming schedule will probably keep him from Bones for the rest of the season, but a lot of cable shows shoot when network shows are on hiatus so he could be back on Bones eventually.
3.) Even though the "squinterns" are fun additions to the show, none of them have really been essential so this is no big deal anyway. Although, Nigel-Murray was always my favorite of the bunch. Best of luck to both Cartwright and Gallo.
Just popping in to say that I have never seen the show, and that title "2 Squinterns leave the Jeffersonian" looks REAL weird out of context.
ReplyDeletePlease let Daisy leave for good!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't really mind seeing either of them go. The only squintern I'm very attached to is Wendell. =)
ReplyDeleteAwwwww... I love them both (I love ALL the interns) and it'll sad if they leave for good.
ReplyDeletePoor Sweets.... Because Daisy isn't just an intern, she's his girlfriend.... :(
I hope TPTB for Bones uses this opportunity to bring back Zack Addy. He was awesome in his role. I think I have watched the episode where he breaks out of the Loony Bin at least 10 times. I miss him a ton!
ReplyDeleteWtf! The 2 best squinterns!
ReplyDeleteVincent Nigel-murray has the sexy accent and the ever-ending trivia to deliver! Daisy Wick is hot, and while her annoyance is annoying (pun, I guess), I find that really sexy. Plus I love Sweets, and they are such a cute couple.
I hope they don't go, I'll miss 'em.
aw with Daisy leaving i just hope they don't ruin her relationship with Sweets because of it.
ReplyDeleteC'mon poor sweets
ReplyDeleteI like hating daisy.
ReplyDeleteZack cant really come back from the loony bin.. And the actor will not come back any way. :(
