This Friday, Jeri Ryan guest stars on the popular Syfy series Helix as Constance Sutton, the chief operating officer of ILARIA Corporation, the owner of Arctic Biosystems. She is clearly not who she first appears to be.

In preparation for the episode, Ryan, along with showrunner Steven Maeda, talked to the digital press earlier in the week about the upcoming episode and new character.

Ryan talked to SciFi Vision about her character on the series. "She was just fun. This was a really fun role to play, because she's kind of out there. You know, she's not subtle, which I love.

Last month, Syfy premiered one of its newest series, Helix, and they received a massive reaction, bringing in exceptionally high ratings for the network. The show follows a team of scientists from the CDC, led by Dr. Alan Farragut (Billy Campbell), who are brought to the Arctic Biosystems research facility to investigate a possible virus outbreak.

The creator of the mysterious new sci-fi thriller, Cameron Porsandeh, recently sat down with Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision for an exclusive interview to talk about his series.

Porsandeh talked about how his journey to creating the series started. "I had an idea for a script and I pitched it to my agent, which was an interesting thing, because they liked the idea, and they said, "This is going to be a tricky sell; if you feel confident you should go ahead and do it." So it didn't go out with a pitch; I wrote it on spec, completely on spec. And I was really excited about it when I was done.

Last month Syfy premiered season four of Lost Girl. Two of the stars, Anna Silk, who plays Bo, and Ksenia Solo, who plays Kenzi, talked to the digital media recently about the series.

The two actresses talked to SciFi Vision about what makes Bo and Kenzi's friendship that makes it so strong. Solo said, "I think that Bo and Kenzi were two lost souls, you know, in very different ways, but I really do believe that they were lost and they found each other in this kind of crazy set of circumstances. And I...would assume when you meet somebody in like a life and death situation, you know, you are automatically bonded with them.

"And in their case it was that, plus a million, and they have always been there for each other no matter what, and I think it is very rare, whether in the fantasy world or in real life, to have a friend that would take a bullet for you and, you know, is going to listen to your crap no matter how many times you want to talk about your breakup, or will teach you things, or will be there for you absolutely no matter what.

"They found a home in each other and they found an unbreakable bond. So whatever makes it unbreakable, I don't know if I could put it into words, but I just think they have a connection that goes beyond anything. I think it is very spiritual."

Recently Syfy premiered the new season of Being Human. In preparation stars Sam Witwer, who plays Aidan, and Meaghan Rath, who plays Sally, as well as executive producer Anna Fricke, talked to the media about the fourth season.

The three talked to SciFi Vision about the fact that this season will bring a lot of returning characters, including Kenny (Connor Price), Henry (Kyle Schmid), Marcus (Vincent Leclerc), Bishop (Mark Pellegrino), and even Sally's brother, played by her real-life brother, Jesse Rath. Rath said about the guest stars, "I think we can say a lot of our guests stars this year are people that you've seen before. Our favorites from the last couple of seasons somehow reappear this year...I think it's a greatest hits. It's a greatest hits kind of season."

Witwer added, "Totally a greatest hits. It is. It is. And it was so much to have all of these guys back, because we hadn't seen some of them in a long time. But, weirdly enough, you know, everyone likes to say, "Oh anything can happen on a sci-fi show and death doesn't mean you're done." And it doesn't, but we generally didn't violate any death rules.

One of Syfy's new series, Bitten, recently premiered. The series focuses on Elena Michaels (Laura Vandervoort), the only female to ever live through being bitten by a werewolf. She wants to live a normal human life with her boyfriend Philip McAdams (Paul Greene), but is pulled back to the pack to help solve a murder by a mutt. Things are made more complicated by the fact that one of the pack members is Clayton Danvers, played by Greyston Holt, who is also her ex-boyfriend, and is still in love with her.

Holt recently talked to Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision in an exclusive interview about his new series.

Holt got the part of Clay after sending in his audition. "I basically, almost about a year ago actually, just had an audition for it. I live in Vancouver, and my agent and I, we taped an audition for it and sent it out to Toronto and didn't do anything for a little bit. And then they called, and they wanted to see another tape.

Syfy recently premiered its new series Bitten. The show follows Elena (Laura Vandervoort), the only female to ever survive a werewolf bite, as she struggles to keep a normal life, yet yearning for family and a feeling of belonging somewhere. She is forced to leave her new life and return to the pack when there is a murder and the pack needs her help to track down the killer.

One of the members of the werewolf pack is Nick Sorrentino, played by Steve Lund, who recently sat down with Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision for an exclusive interview about his new series.

The actor talked about how he got the role of Nick. "I initially auditioned for the show when I was in LA last January. It was one of the first shows that I auditioned for when I was down there, and I auditioned for the role of Clay. And I actually got a call back for it and went in and then didn't hear anything for just over a month.
