Just beyond the midway point of season two, Legend of the Seeker star Bridget Regan (Kahlan) ‘confesses’ that adding Tabrett Bethell (Cara) to the cast has been a quantum leap. “Tab was the missing piece of the puzzle,” she tells E! “That’s what made this season take off. She just came in and challenged all of us and our characters challenged her.” There’s no hint of rivalry between the two beauties. “It was such a boy’s club last year,” she muses. “Just having a woman on the set; we’re in it together, a bit of a team, which is great.” Bridget is also keen on Kahlan and Richard’s (Craig Horner) burgeoning affection: “I fight for that so much, and not just because Craig’s dreamy.” This weekend’s new episode combines elements of drama and humor the series is noted for, with Cara nervously masquerading as a polished princess to spare the Mother Confessor from execution—and Zedd (Bruce Spence) in drag as an ugly lady-in-waiting. Laughs aplenty! Watch for a rare TV guest appearance by former Hardy Boys teen idol Parker Stevenson. Legend of the Seeker recently teamed with pop-rockers Newmatic for a wondrous music video (below) which highlights the breathtaking scenery of New Zealand and the unforgettable moments from this season.
