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.
Great show, don’t understand why Cw cancelled this??? Now the viewers are left with no ending. At least bring it back another season to give us answers to all the questions!!!
Wish you would revie the show both my Mom & I enjoyed it.
I’m so sorry Ringer was cancelled. It was such a good show.
I agree with everyone else, I now have nothing else to watch on CW, so they just lost another viewer. If they come out with something new, I won’t even start watching it because they will probably cancel that…so long CW.
pathetic very angry they have cancelled Ringer.
been waiting for SMG to come back to the screen after 8 years away and after buffy.
loved the show been waiting for the twins to finally confront one another
but us fans will never get to see that disappointed is not the word for it.
I VOTE BRING BACK RINGER
So mad this was cancelled I’ve been looking so forward to it returning. I only watch 2 how’s on the CW ringer and the secret circle. What a shame to cancel the only shows on the network worth watching.
Very upset this was cancelled only shows on CW I will watch was this and secret circle. Come on CW bring em back
I agree. I was loving the Ringer, the storyline and everything. I don’t get how they come up with this every year cancelling shows that appear to be good and replace them with whole bunch of SyFy shows. Is the CW becoming the next SyFy channel?!??!
An intelligent shw with good acting, writing, and a story line that kept viewers coming back for more. Just checked to see when the next season comes on and I see it’s cancelled. Whoever is making these decisions at CW blew it. You can’t base your ENTIRE network on 20-something vampires, witches, werewolves or whatevers you DO need a little substance programming here & there…….
THIS IS SO DISSAPPOINTING. THIS WAS A VERY GOOD SHOW. VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT AND WELL WRITTEN AND PRODUCED. PLEASE BRING IT BACK.
I can not believe you cancelled this show!!! What are you thinking?? I hope some other network picks this show up. I could not wait until the next week to see what was going to happen. I am so disappointed.
[…] Ringer (The CW) This Sarah Michelle Gellar series started out strong but the ratings fell as viewers tuned out. […]
I was really looking forward to watching Ringer this fall. I don’t what YOU qualify as a good show but I thought this was a GREAT show!!
one of the best show and I was look foreward for the next show
[…] summer press tour, network president Mark Pedowitz shared some insights about why he believes that Ringer wasn’t a big enough success to warrant a second […]
