BBC America announced details of its original scripted series Wednesday. “Coppers,” a historical crime drama, is set in 1860s New York City’s crime-ridden Five Points neighborhood, notorious from “Gangs of New York.”

Tom Weston-Jones of “MI-5″ will star as an Irish-immigrant cop in the aftermath of the Civil War. He’s trying to keep the peace in Five Points as well as search for information about the disappearance of his wife and the death of his daughter. Also in the cast are Anastasia Griffith (“Royal Pains,” “Damages”) and Franka Potente (“The Bourne Supremacy,” “Run Lola Run”) as a madam. 

Scheduled to premiere on BBC America in summer 2012, “Copper” was created by Tom Fontana, whose pedigree includes “Oz” and “Homicide,” and Will Rokos (“Monster’s Ball,” “Southland”). Co-executive producers include Fontana, Rokos, Barry Levinson (“Rain Man,” “You Don’t Know Jack”) and Christina Wayne of Cineflix Studios (executive in charge of “Mad Men” at AMC).

Anastasia’s first episode of Once Upon a Time aired on abc last night. Anastasia did a great job as Prince Charming’s slighty spoiled finacé and coma patient John Doe’s concerned wife. She won’t be in next week’s episode but the one after that. Screen caps have been added to the gallery.

Anastasia has joined the cast of ABC’s upcoming fall TV show Once Upon A Time. The fairytale drama was created by Lost executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis and is described as a bold new imagining of the world, where fairy tales and the modern-day are about to collide. The show’s cast includes Jennifer Morrison, Ginnifer Goodwin and Robert Carlyle. Anastasia has signed on to play “spoiled” and “regal” Annette. It’s a recurring role but so far nothing more is known about her storyline. If you would like more information on Once Upon A Time you can visit the show’s official website where you will find video sneak peeks and publicity stills. A detailed description of the show is quoted below.

And they all lived happily ever after – or so everyone was led to believe. Emma Swan knows how to take care of herself. She’s a 28-year-old bail bonds collector who’s been on her own ever since she was abandoned as a baby. But when the son she gave up years ago finds her, everything starts to change. Henry is now 10 years old and in desperate need of Emma’s help. He believes that Emma actually comes from an alternate world and is Snow White and Prince Charming’s missing daughter. According to his book of fairytales, they sent her away to protect her from the Evil Queen’s curse, which trapped the fairytale world forever, frozen in time, and brought them into our modern world. Of course Emma doesn’t believe a word, but when she brings Henry back to Storybrooke, she finds herself drawn to this unusual boy and his strange New England town. Concerned for Henry, she decides to stay for a while, but she soon suspects that Storybrooke is more than it seems. It’s a place where magic has been forgotten, but is still powerfully close… where fairytale characters are alive, even though they don’t remember who they once were. The epic battle for the future of all worlds is beginning, but for good to win, Emma will have to accept her destiny and fight like hell.

Anastasia attended the BAFTA Los Angeles tea party over the weekend. Anastasia’s brother Jamie Bamber was also in attendance, unfortunately I couldn’t find any pictures of the two together. Three images of Anastasia have however been added to the gallery.

In anticipation of Royal Pains‘ return this week executive producers Michael Rauch and Andrew Lenchewski talked about the upcoming story lines, including the relationship between Hank and Emily.

As always, Hank’s romantic life will be front an center. Andrew teased, “We’re going to see Hank and Emily’s (Anastasia Griffith) relationship climax in a way that might be pleasing to some members of the audience and maybe less so to others.” As for Hank and Jill (Jill Flint), whom Andrew called “star-crossed lovers, “[They are] sort of a well that we keep going back to because it’s really interesting study in timing and fate in that it always seems to either be the perfect time for them to be together or the perfect time for them not to be together and we’ll continue to go back to that for story in the winter six.”

After a long long time without updates I really thought a new layout would be appropriate. I also felt that it was necessary to use a different picture for once. The greens are also very nice. The wordpress coding is based on a theme made available by Amanda. More updates will come soon.

After long months without updates things are finally looking up. Anastasia’s Lifetime movie which has been renamed And Baby Will Fall has been given its premiere date: January 23. A preview will be available on the Lifetime website shortly. A more detailed press release has also been issue:

In And Baby Will Fall, High school sweethearts Ivy and David Ross (Anastasia Griffith and Brendan Fehr) have the perfect life. They have a loving marriage, a new house, and a baby on the way. Ivy had suffered two miscarriages so she is not taking anything for granted this time around. She is planning on delivering a healthy baby in a few weeks.
While clearing out their new house, they come across a former high school classmate, Melinda White (Clea DuVall) who appears at their yard sale. Melinda is also pregnant and is expected to deliver around the same time as Ivy.
Then next day they discover Melinda has gone missing and since the yard sale is the last place she was seen alive, the police take an interest in both David and Ivy. Evidence is found at their house leading the police to suspect foul play.

As things spiral out of control for the young couple, their seemingly wonderful life takes a turn for the worse. Has David been keeping secrets from Ivy? What about their other classmates? There seems to be many things about her old friends that Ivy is just now finding out. Secrets from the past bubble up to the present as everything unravels and some secrets are too much to bear.

Through it all, Ivy must remain calm and collected in order not to suffer the same fate as she had in the past. She desperately wants a healthy baby, but is the pressure going to be too much for her?
