Screencaps have been added from yesterday’s episode of Harper’s Island, which featured Katie quite prominently, including, well… Semi-naked, heh! I don’t know about you but I’m really loving the show and Katie’s performance as Trish.
Freddy Krueger will have his hands full in the new A Nightmare on Elm Street, especially with the latest member to join the cast.
Actress Katie Cassidy has taken the role of “Kris” in the Samuel Bayer-directed reboot of Wes Craven’s ’84 slasher film. She’s the second female lead to sign aboard after Rooney Mara. Kyle Gallner, Thomas Dekker and Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger also star.
Cassidy is no stranger to Supernatural fans. She had a good run on the CW horror series as the demon Ruby. Prior to that stint she played the final girl in the Black Christmas remake and was recently seen kidnapped in the Liam Neeson-starring hit Taken. Television viewers can also find her on Harper’s Island.
A Nightmare on Elm Street begins rolling next month in the Chicago area and hits theaters on April 16, 2010.

Rather than canceling the struggling serialized murder mystery Harper’s Island, CBS announced today it will move the show from Thursdays at 10pm to Saturdays at 9pm, starting May 2. According to a network release, the 13-week limited series showed improvement in DVR and online viewership, an indication that it had enough of an audience to sustain the show through the end of its run.

I have added screencaps of the newest episode of Harper’s Island. Katie looked really beautiful in this episode, don’t you think?
Described as a cross between Lost, Ten Little Indians and One Tree Hill, the new CBS horror series Harper’s Island promises thrills, chills and gore in its 13-episode season. This murder mystery follows a group of family and friends who travel to a secluded island for the destination wedding of Henry (Christopher Gorham) and Trish (Katie Cassidy). As the wedding festivities begin, friendships are tested and secrets exposed as a murderer claims victims, one by one, transforming the week of fun and celebration into a terrifying struggle for survival. Everyone is a suspect. No one is safe. No one can be trusted. By the end of the 13 episodes, all questions will be answered, the killer will be revealed and only a few will survive.
Harper’s Island not only exceeded many expectations in its late-season premiere, but even took on John Wells … and won.
The weekly murder mystery about a wedding on an island gone bad earned a 6.7 rating/12 share Thursday, according to Fast National ratings from Nielsen Media Research. That was enough to win the hour, and even best the series premiere of “Southland” on NBC.
