Syfy’s Helix (Fridays, 10/9C) started out as an outbreak show – some kind of new virus struck members of an isolated research lab above the Arctic Circle and the CDC sent in a crack team to contain and cure it. Since then it has evolved – much like a virus does – into something similar […]

Syfy’s attempt to catch silly lightning in a bottle one more time has cast a number of well-known folks in some intriguing – and occasionally appropriate roles.

Helix: Get The Lowdown On Syfy’s Newest Hit From Stars Billy Campbell and Jordan Hayes!
After its successful premiere, Helix (Syfy, Fridays, 10/9C) has made a good impression. A large part of that is due to its cast, including Billy Campbell (as Dr. Alan Farragut) and Jordan Hayes (Dr. Sarah Jordan).
