Ryan's second episode of jPod (1x07: SpriteQuest) will air tonight at 9pm on CBC in Canada.

Below is the episode synopsis from the Official jPod website ....

----------------------------------------------
Steve (COLIN CUNNINGHAM) has gone missing. Ethan (DAVID KOPP) believes that Steve is still alive but the other Podsters think he's committed suicide.

Carol (SHERRY MILLER) is sad about Steve's disappearance and Jim (ALAN THICKE) wants to cheer her up. He finds just the thing: The Vancouver Swing Society is hosting an excursion to the botanical gardens in Victoria. Something for both of them!

Meanwhile, the Podsters learn that Steve's replacement is Alistair Parrish (RYAN ROBBINS), the code-thief. Their new boss kills BoardX and assigns his new game, an embarrassing sword and sorcery adventure called SpriteQuest.

At the hotel, Jim and Carol meet Bertrand (JOHN NOVAK) and Justine (MARIA MARLOW). They like them very much until they learn they're at a sex convention for swingers. Carol is furious and gets even angrier when Jim implies she was romantically involved with Steve. She accepts Bertrand's invitation to an orgy. Jim imagines her as the centre of attention, but Carol just locks herself in the bathroom. The Podsters resist their new boss, but Kaitlin (EMILIE ULLERUP) wants to excel. Alistair has her install new software which she doesn't realize will monitor the Podster's productivity. Ethan is ready to revolt when Alistair cuts off their telephones and internet and moves his desk into jPod.

Ethan gets an anonymous instant message instructing him to watch Alistair, who behaves bizarrely then heads out. Ethan's phone rings and the voice of the mysterious "Babette" explains how she got Alistair to leave. The Podsters are back on line, too, and they send Ethan a news story that Steve has left a suicide note. Cowboy (BEN AYRES) passes out bottles of Chugatussin and the Podsters toast the memory of Steve and get tussed up.

When Alistair returns, he threatens to fire Ethan but Ethan counters by challenging him to a duel. If Alistair wins, they'll work on SpriteQuest and, if he loses, they'll finish BoardX. Alistair selects Rock Paper Scissors and then reveals that he was a three-time World Champion. Ethan's phone rings. It's Babette, telling him to watch for light signals that will indicate what to throw against Alistair.

Meanwhile, after trying to coax Carol to join the orgy, Bertrand tells her that Jim honestly thought it was a dance convention. Carol finds Jim and they are very happy to make up.

Ethan and Alistair face off. It's a dead heat as Ethan manages to keep throwing exactly what Alistair does. They agree to call it a draw: jPod will concentrate on SpriteQuest, but Alistair will move out of jPod and cancel production quotas.

Ethan asks the Podsters if anyone knows a Babette that works at N.A.

January 15th, 2008

Ryan's first episode of jPod (1x06: The Hero's Journey) will air tonight at 9pm on CBC in Canada.

Below is the episode synopsis from the Official jPod website ....

----------------------------------------------
Just as Ethan (DAVID KOPP) musters up the nerve to ask Kaitlin (EMILIE ULLERUP) out, her old flame Kevin (KYLE CASSIE) becomes a hero. Kevin is an actor, and his current gig is playing Klownsworthy, the Churley Burger spokesclown. As Klownsworthy, Kevin has apparently rescued three terminally-ill children from a burning building. Kevin's all over the news and when he's interviewed he tells the world he wants Kaitlin back.

Meanwhile, Jim (ALAN THICKE) is delighted to have an opportunity to do research for an upcoming bikesploitation movie when he and Carol (SHERRY MILLER) visit a biker's house in hopes of expanding her marijuana market.

Back at jPod, Steve (COLIN CUNNINGHAM) asks Ethan to attend a meeting he can't make. The Podsters are disappointed with Ethan for agreeing to go, but Kaitlin is impressed, and that was Ethan's plan. It may be the only way he can compete with a "hero."

The meeting marks the return of legendary Neotronic Arts employee, Alistair Parrish (RYAN ROBBINS), who was sent to American prison camp Guantànamo for creating an astonishing flight simulator game engine that involved flying jets into office towers.

When Ethan describes Cowboy as "the most talented coder in the building," Alistair wants to meet him. Cowboy and Alistair bond instantly and parse code together at a feverish pace.

Carol gets nowhere with the bikers -- they take her and Jim for narcs. On their second visit, Jim wears biker duds and Carol brings samples of her best bud.

Ethan gets invited to another meeting, but he is horrified when he learns that it's for Klownsworthy: The Game, on which Kevin will be intimately involved. Ethan and jPod are to start working on the game full time.

Kaitlin accompanies Kevin to Churley Burger to shoot a Klownsworthy commercial. Kevin is miked for sound but, not having been on camera for a while, he's nervous and his "spastic colon" starts acting up.

Carol and Jim again return to the bikers. Carol is mortified when Dwight (DARREN MOORE), a biker she'd given up for dead and tossed into a dumpster weeks before after a botched drug deal, answers the door. She drops her handgun and it goes off... accidentally, into Dwight's foot.

Cowboy proudly shows the Podsters the disc of his new source code, but Alistair grabs it from him and runs. Having used Cowboy to update his skills, Alistair is now the best coder in the building.

While in the toilet at Churley Burger, Kevin gets a collect phone call from his convict brother. Kevin tells him that he didn't intend to save the kids: he'd gone in to retrieve his cell phone (recently loaded up with Scooby-Doo ring tones) and, "Those brats latched on to me and wouldn't let me go." Of course, Klowsnworthy is miked and the entire crew and Churley executives listen in as he insults them and the company. It's the end of the road for Kevin's Klownsworthy gig.

Back at the Jarlewski home, Steve confesses to Jim that he's in love with Carol, so Jim asks Kam Fong (RAUGI YU) for a "favour" to deal with Steve.

THE GUARD (formerly Search and Rescue) in which Ryan stars as Wendell, will premiere on January the 22nd, 2008 on GLOBAL (Canadian tv channel).

Ryan appears in the trailer on the GlobalTV website for The GUARD. Check it out at the link below.

The Guard (Official Website)


Show Description: The Guard is a one-hour character-driven, original drama series that focuses on the lives of four imperfect, offbeat and sometimes difficult, but heroic Coast Guard rescue specialists looking for meaning in their own lives while enduring the daily dangers of life out on the Pacific Ocean.

Heroes are men and women, human beings with flaws and weaknesses, who knowingly place themselves at risk in order to save another. They should also know?never expect thanks.

The Pacific Ocean collides into Canada's mountainous coastline in one of the most beautiful and treacherous locations on earth, Port Hallet. Here, human beings go up against nature at their peril - because nature almost always wins. In a place like this, Rescue Specialists know that disasters follow few rules. Decisions, which may cost or save lives, are made as quickly as reflexes allow. This is a series about the men and women who make them.

Homegrown talent starring in this primetime Canadian original series include Steve Bacic (Andromeda) as Duty Captain, Miro Da Silva; Jeremy Guilbaut (Edgemont) as Rescue Specialist, Andrew Vanderlee; Zoie Palmer (Instant Star) as Rescue Specialist Carly Greig; and Claudette Mink (The Days) as Rescue Specialist Laura Nelson. David James Elliott, well known to television fans for JAG and Closer to Home, will play recurring character, David Nelson on the series.

There is action as the rescuers dangle from helicopters and plunge into seas, but the beating heart of the series is the peculiarly human topography of four particular rescue workers' "ordinary" lives. In life, as in work, these individuals, struggle to do the right thing, never entirely sure what the right thing is.

They are search and rescue workers, and they hold on to the belief that where there is life, there is always a horizon of hope.
