Taggart Will Return
In the announcement from Syfy about the renewal of Eureka for a 5th season, Matt Frewer was mentioned as a special guest star.
…a top-notch lineup of special guest stars including Ming-Na, Jaime Ray Newman, Ed Quinn, Wil Wheaton, Jamie Kennedy, Chris Parnell, Matt Frewer and Felicia Day…
Given that bit of news, it seemed very likely that we would have at least one episode where Taggart comes back to Eureka.
Then there was a post on the Eureka Unscripted blog, where the writers of Eureka hang out.
Get ready (okay, in about 4 months or so) to deck the halls… it’s been officially announced that this year there will be a Eureka holiday special!
It’s already been written, shot, and edited… and it’s frakkin’ fantastic. Guest stars include Chris Parnell (SNL, 30 Rock) and everyone’s favorite Eurekan Aussie, Taggart (Matt Frewer).
The official announcement of the Eureka holiday episode included a short description on the episode. :)
On Eureka, "as the Global Dynamics employees celebrate the season at the company holiday party, staff member Dr. Noah Drummer (Chris Parnell) nearly absconds with a volatile experiment. The halls get seriously decked when Dr. Drummer’s unstable hydrogen crystal starts to grow at a frightening rate."
Frewer, who was an early regular on the series, will return as the character Taggert.
So woohoo! I’ll certainly be thrilled to see Jim Taggart again. Taggart was always a huge favorite for me in the first two seasons of Eureka!
The episode will air in December. I’ll let you know when I find out on exactly what day the episode will air.
