Spoiler Slayer

Spoiled Rotten has posted some information on the second episode of 'Tru Calling', based on a casting side that has become available.

Before I get to the spoilers, I'm going to take a little bit of room to explain why you have to hit the 'read more' to get to the real spoilers. The goal is to allow fans to try an be spoiled for only one show if they wish. So I'm trying to figure out the best way to implement this. But for the moment, I'm trying to keep the main page as 'spoiler-free' as possible.

According to Spoiled Rotten, the side is for Episode Two and features a new love interest for Tru, who is a crime scene photographer named Luc. The first scene deals with the 'Meet Dead' (as opposed to 'Meet Cute'), where Tru and Luc bump into each other at a bridge, where a young couple committed suicide by hanging themselves. The second scene is Tru and Luc having dinner in the morgue and talking about her father (who is coming to visit).

Now while I have heard relatively the same information, I'm not hearing it entirely the same way.

It was explained to me that these scenes are from two different episodes, which would back up that this will be a recurring, or even a regular character. Which begs the question, what happened to Dr. Evans?

If you've seen the pilot summary, you will remember that Dr. Evans was Tru's former psych professor and current boyfriend. If both he and Harrison have been written out of the show, it could indicate a major change in the show's direction when it comes to love interests. Instead of opening with Tru in an already stable relationship, we'll see this one develop from the beginning.

Which definitely could work much better for the series in the long run.

Of course, this still doesn't guarantee that Dr. Evans has been pulled from the pilot or the series, but it does make one wonder how this will all sort out. My gut tells me that it's getting more and more likely that the final show will not resemble the pilot very much by the time it makes it to air.
