Misfits - Series 4

Misfits will introduce three new regular characters in its fourth series.

The fourth series will introduce new female lead Jess and two male characters, Finn and Alex, according to a casting call.

>
 
Iwan Rheon (Simon) and Antonia Thomas (Alisha)
both departed the drama at the conclusion of its third run.


Quote:
Jess (Female)

Jess is a kind of female version of Larry David – smart and articulate, She’s the person who will say the un-sayable, the person who’ll question social norms and etiquette. Jess hates people who ******** and lie to her.


Finn (Male)

Finn has a childlike naively optimistic view of life, he’s always eager to please and enthusiastic about life.
Finn talks a lot and often uses this to try and talk himself out of difficult or awkward situations. He is very funny.


Alex (Male)

Alex is the sexiest guy on the estate. He is super good looking, all the girls fancy him but for some reason he is very standoffish, he doesn’t seem interested in girls. Everyone reads this as being extremely suspicious and suspect it’s power related.
Series 4 is expected to air late 2012.

This is the Misfits thread, she's an original cast member facing a criminal trial.

Did you post something similar in the 24 thread when others posted about Kiefer Sutherland's charges/imprisonment?

It has everything to do with the new series of Misfits ... she IS still in the cast, as is the other remaining original cast member Nathan Stewart-Jarrett
- Kelly and Curtis are still in Misfits

I merely posted reported news on a key cast member, which could easily have consequences for the new series, not an opinion nor any judgement.

Do still you have a problem?

Did not know she was still in the new series.I fail to see how it could "easily have consequences for the new series" Unless people are that sad to not watch a series they enjoy just because of an individuals personal view on a certain taboo subject which as per usual gets blown out of proportion in my opinion.Shame Nathan isnt in the new series tho

You still haven't explained why knowing something about a castmember would make you not want to watch a TV show.

Errr okay .... the consequences for the new series are that her availability for shooting the programme might be affected ... worst case scenario being she's written out, leaving off-screen like Sinead Keenan (Nina) in Being Human, leaving one remaining original cast member and hasty rewrites.

You appear to be going off on a wild tangent based on a clearly wrong assumption about why I first posted .

Bafta-winning Misfits actress Lauren Socha sentenced for racist attack on taxi driver

Sentenced to four months in prison, suspended for 12 months.

Time for community service then, just like her character. Wonder if they will drop her from the show.

Quote:
Socha was accused of punching and racially abusing the cab driver following a nine-hour drinking session. Iqbal, 52, is quoted by The Independent as saying that the incident represents the worst abuse he has received since moving to the UK in 1970.

"She called me a P**i, a dirty b******d and said, 'You're Asian, **** off back to where you came from'," he told reporters. "She said, 'Do you know who I am? I'll have your family lifted'."
The Independent

Confirmed Lauren Socha, who played Kelly, will not return to Misfits
Quote:
“A mutual decision was reached between Clerkenwell [Films] and Lauren earlier this year that she would not be returning for the fourth series.

“Misfits has been in production for a number of weeks now and Lauren is not part of the lineup.”

It was also confirmed that Lauren’s departure is not related to her recent conviction for racially-aggravated assault.

She follows other cast members who have left including Antonia Thomas, Iwan Rheon and Robert Sheehan. In fact Nathan Stewart-Jarrett who plays Curtis will be the only original cast-member remaining.

Not related to the conviction ... hmmm? ... but undoubtedly related to being charged though!!
- somehow I doubt Kelly will get a send-off mini-ep like Nathan did

Going be tough to get any new high profile work, even ads - it's an understatement to say she's ed up her career big time ... I wonder if the cabbie's recording is floating about ?

Well that completely beggers up Misfits for me, with only Curtis left who was always the least interesting character to me, there is absolutely no point even watching the show anymore.

New Castings (see post #1)

- Karla Crome (Hit & Miss) on her character Jess;
Quote:
"I suppose Jess says what she thinks and can see through people's ********. Because she's so straightforward she gets frustrated when people aren't honest with her. She's a tough cookie but she’s quite vulnerable too."

"Obviously I have big shoes to fill following on from such popular characters ... It's been great to do some comedy - I've never done it before, I always assumed it wasn't my strong point. My character is very dry at times and it's fun to play with."


- Nathan McMullen (Casualty, Shameless) cast as Finn

Can't see this or Being Human lasting beyond their next series with none (or just one) of the original cast
- though I have my fingers crossed for Misfits because Overman can come up with great comedy sci-fi material in a way that Whithouse can't

I think you're right there, unless it gets a complete refresh. I'm surprised they haven't opted for a change of location.

I like Jospeh Gilgun's character but he's got a big role in a US movie coming up so he too may follow on to pastures new after series 4.

I hope if they do realise that this is the last one then they bring it to some natural conclusion.


PS Followed the link in your sig and signed that e-petition

Silly, silly girl........

Some people dont know how lucky they are to have what they have and now she has thrown it all away. I dont think she will work again, she wasnt that great and I am guessing she was basically playing herself so her range probably isnt all that good. Dipshit!!

I hope the show improves from last season, season 2 was really good and was starting to become something more than the sum of its parts (if that makes sense......). Last season although enjoyable did not keep up the pace from S2 so I am hoping for a return to form!!

I can't stand Curtis, never liked him and can't believe all the other regulars from the first series have gone and he's left... urgh. I adore Misfits, so hope the new characters joining Rudy are good choices.
