A talented musician turning heads in Portland, Audrey believes Coulson to be dead and has no idea that he's guarding her from a distance as a super-powered threat from her past re-emerges.

Oh my God! I love this casting news.
ReplyDeleteYes! I love Amy so much and I think she'll be fantastic in the Marvel universe.
ReplyDeleteMy migraine feels a little bit better now. :)
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't sound good for her character on PoI.
ReplyDeleteThat's great news, though not so surprising casting. I doubt that this will have any impact to her place in PoI..
ReplyDeleteNO ROOT D:
ReplyDeleteThis oddly reminds me of Grace and Harold on Person of Interest. Probably because she's artistic and he's involved in covert intelligence.
ReplyDeleteGiven the characters she's played, I think I'd be be afraid to have Amy Acker as a lover. I'd always worry that she would steal my organs while I'm sleeping and use them to build an android, or something like that ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd there goes the "cellist = Scarlet Witch" theory. Oh well. It was nice while it lasted.
ReplyDeleteThis should be good.
ReplyDeleteCarrie Petterson plays a similar role as a recurring guest on POI and she is also a regular on True Blood. It's a guest role, and she is a friend of the Whedon's. I don't think it'll impact her role on POI one bit.
ReplyDeleteThe is interesting and good news.
ReplyDeleteYAY!
ReplyDeleteYou mean, Carrie Preston?
ReplyDeleteI love this news! Amy is so great! And to see her as Coulson's old love is gonna be priceless!
ReplyDeleteThis is freaking fantastic, Can I think of this as some kind of Angel reunion? Even if J and Amy don't appear on screen together this is still exciting!
ReplyDeleteAlmost all Whedon shows are a Buffy/Angel reunion of sorts.
ReplyDeleteLove this casting! wouldn't mind seeing more cameos from the Whedonverse
ReplyDeleteHa, yeah. But this is still exciting, I don't even care, hahaha.
ReplyDeleteI love her (seriously, I do). Hopefully more of the Whedonverse will appear on the show.
ReplyDeleteI still have to catch up on Agents of SHIELD. I should do that soon, I've been having Marvel fever over the past few days : rewatched Captain America and The Avengers, watched Thor 2 for the first time (disappointing) and went to see Captain America 2 this morning (pure awesomeness, perhaps the best Marvel movie - yes, I rank it ahead of Iron Man).
She's a main cast member, a fan and critic favourite, as well as integral to the story, she'll probably be fine. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm... not too pleased about this. I love Amy, but they seem more suited as family members, like in Much Ado.
ReplyDeleteYES, YES, YES!!!! And then make her an agent!!!! Love her! She and Gregg will be magnificent together! Though now I'm a bit afraid for Root on Person of Interest....
ReplyDeleteA+ casting
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic. Not only am I glad that we're getting Amy on the show, I love that we finally get to meet the cellist from Portland!
ReplyDeleteyeahh Amy! *_*
ReplyDeleteOh my god yes!!! And as Coulson's ex omg even if its weird because they played niece/uncle in Much Ado About Nothing haha but still amazing.
ReplyDeleteShe is also a main cast member in The 100
ReplyDeleteShe's so awesome, stoked to see her
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who doesn't care for her?
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing news, I can see this working really well.
ReplyDeleteSo damn sad... Bye Philinda. They destroyed my shipping :(
ReplyDeleteOh I would definitely catch up esp if you loved Cap 2 (which I can't wait to see!) because there is going to be huge fallout in the show. And yeah its definitely gotten better.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who thought Jennifer Grey would be perfect to play the cellist?
ReplyDeleteFirst time commenting! I think this was a GREAT casting choice because she was great in Angel as Fred and is good in POI.
ReplyDeleteOh. Fuck. Yes.
ReplyDeletea great twist would be she is working for the opposition after Coulson death
ReplyDeleteGreat Casting ! I Love Amy since the "Angel" days. Now who's next ?! Alexis Denisof ? Eliza Dushku? Give me some Whedonverse alum.
ReplyDeleteWhy? It's just a guest role.
ReplyDeletePaige Turco (Zoe)
