Haplin, Minnesota, also known as “Happy Town,” has enjoyed an uneasy peace for five years, but all that is about to change. Still haunted by a number of unsolved kidnappings, the small town now faces a dark new crime that brings all its unresolved fears to the surface. Has the elusive “Magic Man,” who many believe is responsible for the bizarre abductions that still scar the town, returned to claim another victim? As Haplin’s mysteries are revealed, many of its prominent citizens’ motives come under scrutiny, as their own secrets and personalities are peeled back, one layer at a time.

Dragged away from his idyllic family life to investigate the new crimes, Tommy Conroy (Geoff Stults), a small town deputy under the wing of his dad, long-time popular Sheriff Griffin Conroy (M.C. Gainey), has never had to take charge of Haplin’s law enforcement. His comfortable lifestyle is suddenly turned upside down by a bizarre set of circumstances and he must learn to pool his smarts, without the necessary training and tools, to rally the residents, as well as keep his wife, Rachel (Amy Acker), daughter Emma (Sophia Ewaniuk) and the rest of Haplin safe.

While at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour to promote the ABC mid-season drama Happy Town, one of the show’s stars, Amy Acker, talked about being a part of the small town mystery, as well as gave hints about her role in Cabin in the Woods, the highly anticipated and highly secretive 3-D horror film from Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard.

Q: When you started on Dollhouse, did you have any idea that your character would end up so evil?

Amy: No. When the whole thing started, I had been begging Joss, since I heard he was doing it. We’d be hanging out and I’d be like, “I wish I could be on your show.” And then, it seemed like the day before they started shooting, he was like, “Actually, there’s this part. She was supposed to be a 55-year-old woman, but I’m thinking maybe you should do it.” I was like, “Really? Okay, great! I’ll be there.” I didn’t know if it was just going to be for the pilot. I had no idea that I was going to end up being a doll and that all this stuff would unfold. I’d hear about different stuff, but you don’t know. (more…)

Hello. I’ve finally put up a new layout! Sorry about the long wait, real life has kept me busy. Anyway, I hope you like it. I’ve added beautiful pictures of Amy at the 2010 Winter ABC TCA Tour that she attended today to the gallery. Previews and gallery links below.

Also, I want to thank Lisa for trusting me with this lovely site!!

Just wanted to let all our faithful visitors know that I am stepping down as webmiss of this site. I’m not leaving completely though!  Kayla will be taking over the site and I will remain on board to make occasional updates and news posts.  I still love Amy and will continue to follow her career.  I just no longer have the time necessary to give this site the attention it deserves.

With many many thanks to the wonderful Andrea, we have a gorgeous HQ set of images from a promotional photoshoot Amy did for her upcoming show Happy Town.  I still have not heard from ABC about an official air date but I will be sure to notify you all as soon as I know.
