“Our focus is on the future,” said Susanne Boyce, President, Creative, Content and Channels, CTV Inc. “We look forward to building upon the relationships we’ve developed on THE BRIDGE with Craig, Aaron and eOne.”

“We have had a tremendous run,” said Executive Producer Craig Bromell. “I am very thankful for having had the chance to work with so many talented people behind and in front of the camera. We could not bring all of the necessary elements together to create a successful second season. CTV has been so supportive throughout the life of the show and I look forward to working with them on other ideas.”

Bromell and CTV are developing a project following the intense and complex personal and professional lives of a police drug squad. CTV is also developing a character-driven legal drama with eOne and writer Pam Davis (FLASHPOINT, HOUSE). In addition, CTV has forged an on-going creative relationship with actor Aaron Douglas through a non-exclusive development deal.

The announcement follows CTV’s December announcement of the pick-ups of pilots for two, new one-hour dramas: SAVING HOPE, from the acclaimed Gemini award-winning producer Ilana Frank (THE ELEVENTH HOUR, OF MURDER AND MEMORY, ROOKIE BLUE) and writer Morwyn Brebner (ROOKIE BLUE); and STAY WITH ME, from the celebrated Gemini award-winning producing team of writer Suzette Couture and Pierre Sarrazin from Sarrazin Couture Entertainment (THE MAN WHO LOST HIMSELF). Production on both is expected to begin this Spring. Also announced in December was the new one-hour drama HIGHLAND GARDENS (working title), from the internationally acclaimed and Gemini Award-winning Epitome Pictures producing team of Linda Schuyler and Stephen Stohn (DEGRASSI), and writer Martin Geo (BORED TO DEATH ,Young People F*cking).

Theresa Joy, Paul Popowich and Inga Cadranel from 'The Bridge'

Other CTV celebs at the party had the following to say about “FashionTelevision” and its 25th anniversary:

“The Bridge” star Theresa Joy: “I love fashion, I love looking at it because it’s art. I try to stick to the basics, and when I do something wild and crazy, I’m inspired by it.”

Newly pregnant “The Bridge” star Inga Cadranel : “‘FashionTelevion’ was one of the most important shows I watched before becoming an actress, fashion and acting go hand in hand, and it helped me when I was growing up and developing a passion for it.”

Paul Popowich, star of “The Bridge”: “Fashion makes the world go ’round. I heard it was going to be a heck of a party, and I figured why not? I grew up with ‘FashionTelevision.’ To be here feels surreal, I feel like I’ve stepped into the TV show.”

Aaron will also be the first featured instructor in a new course being offered in September on Audition Technique. More details on this course coming very soon!

These two actresses have far different tastes when it comes to celebrating the warmest months of the year.

Talking to CTV.ca at the CTV Fall Preview party earlier this year, Vancouverite Ona Grauer shared her one of her favourite summer activities, much to the surprise of her “Bridge” co-star Theresa Joy, who seems to enjoy more traditional pastimes.

On “The Bridge,” Grauer plays Abby St. James, prosecutor and Frank Leo’s secret lover. Joy plays police constable Billy, who always seems to be getting in trouble.

This summer Theresa Joy was also featured in a photo spread on Maxim.com, and has recently wrapped up filming “Wedding for One,” co-starring with Jennifer Finnigan. Grauer recently appeared on the big screen in “Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief” as Artemis.

Full episodes of “The Bridge” are available online at CTV.ca.

CTV.ca: So what is your favourite thing to do in the summer?
Joy: Camping! I camp for like, four weeks, it’s amazing you know? But I camp by the beach, so I can have my margaritas too!
Grauer: I’m from Vancouver, so I like to go to Wreck beach, the nude beach, in the summer.
Joy: I’ll have to go there.

CTV.ca: What’s the best summer vacation you’ve ever taken?
Joy: I made a film in the Republic of Georgia, near the Black Sea, and even though I was working, it was summer and it was unbelievable.
Grauer: Right after high school, my dad gave us some money, some camping gear and some mountain bikes, and we drove around the states for two months.

CTV.ca: Favourite summer song?
Grauer: Bob Marley. Reggae!
Joy: Right now I love Ke$ha.

CTV.ca: Summer this year?
Grauer: More camping, and maybe the nude beach!

CTV.ca: Favourite Flavour of ice cream?
Grauer: Tiger!
Joy: What’s Tiger?
Grauer: It’s orange, with a ribbon of licorice.
Joy: Wow, I like the cookie dough Blizzard. That’s the way I have to have my ice cream done, big chunks of cookie dough.
