Andrew to play another supernatural?!

Could this be the role Andrew Gower wil play in Misfits next weekend? Channel 4 Press have posted the episode guide to Misfits episode 4×04 where Andrew plays a character called Jake:

When Curtis’s new girlfriend Lola disappears, Curtis discovers that she was never the person she claimed to be. As he investigates further, he is forced to use his power to bring someone back from the dead, with disastrous results. Meanwhile, Rudy and Finn have a disagreement about their shared living arrangements at the community centre, and Jess finally gets closer to mysterious barman Alex.

Hopefully there will be some indication at the end of this week’s episode – we’ll screencap if there is and get them uploaded. The episode will screen on E4 on Sunday 18 November.

Out of Darkness – short directed by Manjinder Virk

Andrew Gower is involved in a new independent short film by Manjinder Virk titled Out of Darkness. Manjinder played the role of Mullery’s love interest Sally Fortune in season 1 of Monroe so we are excited to see them working together again.

Tom Hiddleston, Monica Dolan, Jimmy Akingbola, Christine Bottomley, Riz Ahmed, Asheq Akhtar and Noma Dumezweni are also involved in the film.

There are very few details available about the film at present as it is still in post-production, but you can follow the Twitter account for updates, and we will of course update here when any more news is released.

Misfits returns Sunday 28 October

Channel 4‘s press page has been updated with information for week 44, listing the return of Misfits to E4 on Sunday 28 October at 10pm.

This means that Andrew Gower‘s appearance (in episode 4) as Jake will be on Sunday 18 November.

The episode 1 overview is as follows:

Misfits is back for the fourth series and new gang members Finn and Jess are zipping up those iconic orange jumpsuits for their first day of community service and meeting their probation worker… or is it their new probation worker? Things become stranger still when a man stumbles into the community centre with a briefcase and a power that infects them all. The truth unravels in a series of tense flashbacks and it’s soon clear to Finn and Jess that there’s more to community service than scrubbing off graffiti and picking up litter…

We will add any images of Andrew in his role as soon as they become available.

ETA (18 October 2012)

E4’s Misfits Twitter account has now also confirmed Sunday 28 October as the transmission date for episode 1.

 

Monroe 2×03

MO203x174.png

Monroe 2×03

Dr Monroe (James Nesbitt) is still reeling from his failed surgery last week. When he operates on 25 year old Alex Schofield (Gwilym Lee), who has a benign tumor in his spine, he loses confidence altogether and stops the procedure midway. Only after he successfully removes a knife from a rugby fan’s head, he gains his “mojo” back.

Shepherd (Tom Riley) and Bremner (Sarah Parish) decide to try counselling to save their relationship but Shepherd still tries to deal with his infidelty and whether or not he should reveal the truth to Bremner which would potentially endanger Sarah Witney’s (Christina Chong) job.

Springer’s (Luke Allen-Gale) promotion as registrar has slightly gone to his head until Mullery (Andrew Gower) mocks him about his new appearance and tells him that he hadn’t been Monroe’s first choice. Witney asks Springer out on a date but instead of going to a fancy restaurant, they end up at Monroe’s house and poker night.

Monroe 2×02

MO202x011.png

Monroe 2×02

Monroe (James Nesbitt) has a hard time deciding which of his two trainees to keep as registrar and which one to let go: Daniel Springer (Luke Allen-Gale) or Kitty Wilson (Michelle Asante). Dr Bremner (Sarah Parish) continues to alienate Shepherd (Tom Riley) with her behaviour and suggests counselling but he starts to seek comfort elsewhere while Springer clumsily tries to ask Witney out on a date.

When Bremner and her registrar Sarah Witney (Christina Chong) are tied up in the operating theatre, Mullery (Andrew Gower) takes the chance to remove a nail from a young boy’s heart in an emergency surgery overseen by Dr Gillespie (Neil Pearson). He performs well but is worried about Witney’s reaction when she finds out that she’s missed out on this very rare procedure.

Monroe’s patients are Lynn Monkford (Caroline Strong), a woman with terminal cancer, whose surgery – meant to make her final months a bit more tolerable – doesn’t go as planned, and teenager Shelly Maxwell (Amelia Young), who has a malfunctioning brain shunt. While Graham Birdwell (Martin Walsh) undergoes a double heart bypass, the hospital staff take care of his mentally disabled brother Geoffrey (Tim Dantay).
