Syfy's Being Human returns Monday for season two. The drama revolves around three roomates - vampire Aidan (Sam Witwer), werewolf Josh (Sam Huntington), and ghost Sally (Meaghan Rath), as they try to be normal and not give into their baser instincts. This season promises to be darker as the series delves into the characters trying to avoid their temptations. This season the show will also move away from the story lines of the British series of the same name on which it was originally based.

The showrunners of the series, who also serve as executive producers and writers on the show, Jeremy Carver (Supernatural) and Anna Fricke (Everwood; Men in Trees), sat with the digital press to discuss the new season, as well as some of the upcoming guest stars.

Powerful Mondays are returning to Syfy, first with Being Human, and then with the premiere of the sexy supernatural drama Lost Girl. The series, which originally aired in Canada, was recently acquired by Syfy and has been optioned for at least the two seasons that have been filmed at the time of the press tour.

The series follows the character of Bo, played by Anna Silk, who discovers that she is not human, but a fae - a succubus to be exact, who lives by feeding off sexual energy by draining humans. She is helped by human doctor Laura Lewis, played by Zoie Palmer, who tries helps Bo control her hunger. Bo is also helped by Detective Dyson, played by Kris Holden-Ried, who is a shape-shifter fae on the side of the light. The three form quite a love triangle.

Bo fights to not choose a side between light and dark which causes friction among the factions as she also tries to learn more about her past and her potential.

Silk and Palmer sat down in Orlando, Florida at the Syfy Digital Press Tour and discussed their supernatural series.

It is often hard to find a television show that you want to tune into week after week, but if you do, you can often connect with a certain actor or actress that you love to see in the show. If you are lucky enough to find that actor or actress that does other work in other shows, it is great to be able to tune in, go to the movies, or get to see them in person if they go to conventions.

One actress who has been in several shows on television, along with Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Veronica Mars, is Charisma Carpenter. She embarks on a hopefully long journey in joining the cast of the ABC Family show The Lying Game, which premieres the winter episodes starting January 2, 2012 at 9/8 central.
