TV show description:
A former exotic dancer, Bridget Kelly (Sarah Michelle Gellar) has been sober for six months and is starting to turn her life around. That plan gets messed up when she becomes the sole witness to a professional hit. Despite the assurances of her FBI protector, Agent Victor Machado (Nestor Carbonell), Bridget knows that her life is still in great danger. She flees to New York City and doesn’t tell a soul, not even her Narcotics Anonymous sponsor, Malcolm Ward (Mike Colter).
Once in the Big Apple, Bridget reunites with her estranged twin, Siobhan Martin (also Sarah Michelle Gellar). She’s wealthy, pampered, and married to the strikingly handsome Andrew Martin (Ioan Gruffudd), a self-made millionaire who has a teenage daughter named Juliet (Zoey Deutch). Siobhan lives what appears to be a fairy tale life -– a life where no one even knows that Bridget exists.
The sisters seem to be mending their troubled relationship, until Siobhan suddenly disappears overboard while on a boat trip. Still worried for her own safety, Bridget makes the split decision to take on her sister’s identity. It turns out however that Siobhan’s life isn’t as idyllic as it first appeared. Bridget discovers shocking secrets, not only about her sister and her marriage, but also about Siobhan’s best friend Gemma (Tara Summers) and her writer husband, Henry Butler (Kristoffer Polaha).
When someone tries to kill Bridget in her sister’s penthouse, she realizes that she’s not any safer posing as Siobhan than she was living as herself.
Episode 22 — I’m the Good Twin
As the vow renewal ceremony gets closer, Bridget realizes she first needs to tell Andrew the truth about who she really is. Meanwhile, just as Bodaway Macawi (guest star Zahn McClarnon) starts to close in on Bridget, Agent Machado is forced off the case and Henry decides whether he should tell Bridget the truth about Siobhan.
First aired: April 17, 2012.
I am very disappointed that they cancelled Ringer. I was so looking forward to the next season and what the storyline would be. I’m also sick of all the reality shows that are out there……….how many different frigging Big brothers can we watch!!!
Bring back really good shows like Ringer , a show with substance.
I was tryig to find out when thge seson 2 premiere was scheduled for, and was so disappointed to find out the show is cancelled. What a disapointment! Their best show gone, and didn’t even have a proper ending. I’m not watching CW again!
I cannot beleive they are going to cancel one of the best shows in a long time. This was like watching a new suspense movie every week. I have been anticipating the new one beginning, and then I hear this. Let’s just bombard the tv stations with all reality, crap, and forget about the good shows that really get you interested, and enjoy. this is really upsetting.
Unfortunately I got rid of Sky and didn’t see the last few episodes. I was hoping to buy the series on dvd so am shocked to find it was cancelled ‘cos I really enjoyed it. I hope they at least ‘finish’ it properly but would prefer a continuation …. I can then buy the ‘box set’!
I couldn’t wait for the next episode. Very sad that they cancelled a show that always kept you guessing.
you get into to the story line and look forward to the following week and then they
cancell the series. What a disappointment. I won’t watch this station again.
I enjoyed ringer I am Sorry to see it go. I would of like to see the twins meet up and work out their problems.
Ringer was good. I’m sorry they dropped it. I liked the whole cast, but
please bring SMG back in something. It was a very clever show.
This was another great show they didn’t have the smarts to keep on the air.
[…] Ringer (The CW) This Sarah Michelle Gellar series started out strong but the ratings fell as viewers tuned out. […]
I thought maybe CW was smarter than NBC and would relize when they had a great show and give it a chance. Let me give you dummys at CW some advise. Don’t match your good shows up against the major networks hit shows and maybe you will get more viewers. I will not be watching this network again.
i have no words to express my disappointment…
Please don’t cancel Ringer, it is one of the best shows ever. This show is amazing, the cast is awesome, and the suspense of the show keeps you hanging from week to week. Please don’t cancel this show.
[…] as Sarah Michelle Gellar’s return to television, Ringer couldn’t hold onto its audience. The show’s been cancelled after one season and 22 […]
cancelled??? why???? this is one of the best shows on tv there arent very many shows worth the time
