New Interview with Amanda Tapping on YVR Screen Scene

Sabrina Furminger, the host of the podcast YVR Screen Scene, has published a new podcast interview with Amanda. They talk about the challenges and concerns during the COVID-19-induced self-isolation, about taking care of one’s emotional health while isolating and about Amanda’s favourite things. Listen to it on the website or on Apple podcast.

This podcast interview is the second podcast interview Sabrina has done with Amanda. The first one was back in May 2019, and if you haven’t listened to that one yet, I highly recommend you do that. Also, if you haven’t read Sabrina’s interviews with Amanda on Vancourier, I highly recommend them too. The interviews by Sabrina are, in my opinion, the best and most interesting interviews with Amanda.

Due to the current situation with the COVID-19 outbreak, two conventions Amanda Tapping is going to have been postponed.

The first one is Inspirations 2020. Initially planned for April of this year, it’s been postponed to April 9-11 of next year. Tickets will automatically be transferred to the new dates, and registration is temporarily suspended until June.

Momento Con, originally scheduled for May of this year, is being re-scheduled to August 1-2, 2020. Again, tickets will automatically be transferred to the new dates. All guests are confirmed for the new date.

Yesterday was the premiere of Motherland: Fort Salem. The episode Amanda directed will air on April 1, 9:00 pm on Freeform; the episode’s title hasn’t been announced yet. You can also watch the series on Hulu.

Update March 24, 2020: The episode title is “A Biddy’s Life”.

You might have seen articles about a Sanctuary revival with Amanda as Helen Magnus. They’re based on an article by Deadline, Amanda however replied on Twitter that the article was “inaccurate”. The article has been deleted since. Fans of the series will have to keep waiting and hope that at least some parts of the article were true but for the moment there’s nothing happening, officially.

Amanda Tapping Directing Batwoman

Two weeks ago, Amanda was directing The Flash. Now she’s directing another series of the DC Universe: Batwoman. The series premiered on October 6, 2019, and airs Sundays at 8:00 pm on The CW. It has been renewed for a second season in January of this year. Filming locations are Vancouver and Chicago. Batwoman follows Kate Kane, a vigilante in Gotham City, and is set in the Arrowverse.

With this being the second series of the DC Universe Amanda is directing, fans of the comics can hope that she’ll also eventually direct Supergirl or Legends of Tomorrow. Both series are being shot in Vancouver and both have been renewed for a sixth season.

Website Updates

Hi everyone!

So, according to our poll, what most people want to see on the website are transcripts of convention panels and a chatroom.

chat timesWell, since setting up a chat is rather simple, I set up one. I won’t moderate it at the moment, and I’ll see if it works like that. If issues with spammers arise or if I see that people don’t adhere to internet netiquette, I’ll add more rules and moderation.
I’ve also made a suggestion for regular chat meetings: Saturdays at 1:00 pm PST (Vancouver), respectively 4:00 pm EST (Toronto), 9:00 pm GMT (London), 10:00 pm CET (Paris), 8:00 am AEDT (Melbourne, Sunday morning!). I tried to choose a time that could more or less work for fans all around the world.
The chat is currently limited to 50 seats, meaning up to 50 people can be in the chat at the same time.

I then took a look at the conventions page to check which panels I could transcribe, and I noticed that I forgot to add the San Diego Comic Cons from 2008 to 2011. I guess I forgot because they’re big panels, so Amanda doesn’t get to talk that much in them… I’ve added them now, including some videos. I’ve also added links to videos of the Sanctuary panel for Calgary Con 2012.
