however, I am genuinely just as excited for Damien in a guest role as a major role! For all the reasons we have all given in this topic - the quality of the production, the profile of the show and him being on our TVs again. For me this press release is for official confirmation of his casting, rather than it remaining an internet rumour and a picture that appeared then disappeared..
I woudn't read too much into the tone of the response though, replying to emails on a hand held device, as people often do now, can be a one sentence affair at the best of times, but if a person is especially busy as I suspect the head of Tiger Aspect is, we are extremely lucky to have any response at all, it's very good of them to communicate.
chin up Damiacs, we will have our confirmation soon!
Anyone in need of a bit of blind optimism/fantasy?
Damien did, indeed, have a small guest role, but after filming for a couple of days they recognised his obvious talents and decided that they couldn't let him go. So they are now frantically re-writing the series with him as a major character - hence the delay in the press release....
I think he's still in Dublin. Filming for series 2 began apparently on April 29th, surely if he was filming a one episode guest slot then he'd be done now? so maybe it's more than one episode (or he could just be spending some time with his family...) but my spider senses are tingling a little bit. Probably wishful thinking (but he's gone into virtual twitter silence again....)
It's not made clear, that's true; there's nothing directly linked to Twitter from the Ripper Street page on the Beeb website (apart from the generic BBC One Twitter account)

I have had another look at someone has replied saying we should keep all discussions in the same thread. So I replied to that, along the lines of "Is our favourite vampire in it?"
I am so excited! i feel like we've just been given permission to be excited, legitimately, not just due to some leaked info and picture that appeared then disappeared!
No idea Su, I don't think they do either? No reason given for the delay for the press release but as soon as we hear I'll obviously let everyone know.
Whoop-de-do! Yippee! Hooray! And all the other cheers I can think of! Pity we have to wait until 2014 but we are nearly half way there. Mustn't wish my life away though.
