Looking forward to Sept. 27th and the beginning of “Liar”. Love Ioan Gruffudd and have missed him on TV since “Forever” ended. Also missed Joanne in Downton Abbey. Wishing them much success.
Really looking forward to watching Liar, seems like it will be a gripping drama with lots of twists and turns. And what an amazing cast, I’ve been a fan of Ioan Gruffudd since his Hornblower days and Joanne Froggatt was superb in Dark Angel recently.
Really looking forward to seeing Ioan in this. He’s not only a stellar talent as seen in Forever TV series, but also Amazing Grace and Solomon and Gaenor movies, he’s gorgeous. Welcome back, Ioan!
