I’ve always been a fan of Ellie Nash (Farber), Degrassi’s sarcastic, aspiring journalist (go, nerds), even through her self-mutilation, goth period, and far too many years spent pining for Craig Manning. With many of her Degrassi castmates crossing the border and making it big in the U.S., I’ve been waiting for the day when Farber gets the break she deserves. She’s great in high school settings, but perhaps it’s time she graduate to something with more of an edge? You know, get a few indies under her belt, play the romantic interest to Jesse Eisenberg, revisit Ellie’s dark days in a supporting role to an ensemble drama, etc. Then again, big ratings on a major American network could make all of that possible…
Tomorrow night Stacey Farber’s show 18 To Life is premiering on The CW! The first season has already aired in its entirety in Canada, but this is its US premiere. The CW will be airing the first 2 episodes back to back starting at 9pm/8c. Unfortunately that’s the exact same time that Degrassi is on. So you might have to DVR this one, but definitely check it out!!
Stacey Farber’s comedy series 18 To Life, which she stars in alongside Michael Seater, will be airing on the CW this summer!! CW will air back-to-back episodes of 18 To Life Tuesdays at 9pm starting on Aug. 3rd! CBC has already aired the first season in Canada, and the second season is currently being filmed. For more information click here!
Following in the footsteps of other Degrassi cast members like Landon Liboiron and Jahmil French, Stacey Farber will be guest starring in the next season premiere of Flashpoint! Stacey confirmed the appearance today by tweeting “Shooting episode 301 of Flashpoint next week! Woohoo!”
Flashpoint is a Canadian drama about an elite group of police officers in Toronto known as the SRU. The show currently airs on CTV and CBS (although CBS has not aired new episodes in quite some time). You can check out scenes from Landon and Jahmil’s episodes of the show here and here.
Continuing to promote 18 To Life, Stacey has done another interview with TheTVAddict.com. When asked about the success many Degrassi stars are finding these days (Nina Dobrev, Shenae Grimes, etc.) she said: “Degrassi didn’t feed us anything in particular or give us water to drink that turned people into celebrities! … I go to auditions now and nothing compares to the stuff I had to do on that show. Really heavy, emotional and challenging material which they would just throw at us and we would figure it out as we went along. Degrassi was the ultimate boot camp.”
A great new interview with Stacey Farber has surfaced. Lately she’s been busy promoting her new TV series 18 to Life. In this interview she discusses the series along with what it takes to go from playing a dramatic character like Ellie to a light hearted character like Jessie.
On the change she said: “I loved being on Degrassi and I played a character on that show that was so layered. I had so many different story lines. But for the most part, I did play a depressed girl. It could be heavy, ‘angsty’ stuff … I hadn’t done comedy before and it’s really tough”
18 To Life premieres on CBC TOMORROW! However, tonight CBC will be airing special previews during their broadcast of the Hannah Montana Movie. Stacey and Michael have filmed introductions and will be showing a sneak preview of the first episode.
Stacey & her co-star Michael Seater will be making appearances across Canada to promote their new show 18 to Life! On Dec. 28th they will be at the Richmond Centre in Vancouver. On Dec. 29th they will be at Market Mall in Calgary, and then they will be at Toronto’s Fairview Mall on Dec. 30th. For more information, check out CBC’s newly launched website for 18 to Life. The site also includes a new promo as seen above. 18 to Life premieres Jan. 4th at 8pm on CBC.
“With one simple “I do”, three couples become connected for better or worse, ‘til death do them part’… 18 TO LIFE captures the stories of neighbouring families with vastly different lifestyles, who reluctantly become in-laws after their teenage kids get married at the tender age of 18. This new family comedy debuts on CBC Television, Monday, Jan. 4, at 8 p.m.”
Stacey’s new show 18 To Life is set to premiere next year, but the press has already begun! Speaking to CBC (the show’s network), Stacey describes her character as young, smart, and tough. In the series, Stacey plays 18 year old Jessie, who agrees to marry Tom, played by Michael Seater. The show is described as a character comedy with a lot of heart.
