A few quotes from various sources about Amy in the upcoming second season of Dollhouse.

Amy Acker is back in the ‘house for a while. There had been a bit of query as to if she can appear at all, as she’s in ABC’s Happy Town this season. Well, for the record, she’s back in the first episode of season two.

Joss Whedon says despite her commitments to Happy Town, Acker will be back for Season 2, though not nearly as much as he would like her to be. But, he hinted, in her few episodes, they’re really going to make the most of her.

The other bit he revealed revolved around Amy Acker, who, as we all know, was cast in the ABC midseason series Happy Town.  She was, if I remember correctly, just a guest star for most of the first season, and if she doesn’t appear in the second, then it’s a shame, for they’d have some complications discussing what they’d do to Dr. Saunders.  I mean, Whiskey.

But he’s got good news, sort of: she is returning.  “It is not nearly as much as we would like, but we are going to make the most of her in those few,” he said.

My copy of Dollhouse on DVD came in the mail today so I was able to make and add DVD quality screencaptures of all the special features including the unaired pilot episode ‘Echo’ and the unaired thirteenth episode ‘Epitaph One’.  Amy is only in one of the many deleted scenes but she is featured in all of the behind the scenes featurettes.  As I have time, I will work on replacing the broadcast version of our screencaptures with DVD versions.

- Dollhouse: DVD Screencaptures > 1.00 ‘Echo’ (unaired original pilot)
- Dollhouse: DVD Screencaptures > 1.13 ‘Epitaph One’ (unaired “coda” episode)
- Dollhouse: DVD Screencaptures > Deleted Scene: ‘Topher and Dr. Saunders Talk’
- Dollhouse: DVD Screencaptures > Featurette: Making Dollhouse
- Dollhouse: DVD Screencaptures > Featurette: Coming Home
- Dollhouse: DVD Screencaptures > Featurette: Designing the Perfect Dollhouse
- Dollhouse: DVD Screencaptures > Featurette: A Perfect Engagement

As if us Amy fans could forget lol.  Tomorrow marks the release of the R1 DVD and BluRay release of Dollhouse season one.  I’m expecting my copy to be in the mail and I will get to work immediately screencapping Amy in the unaired pilot, ‘Epitaph One’, and the deleted scene she’s in (you can view a list of all the deleted scenes here).  After that, I will work on replacing the high definition broadcast screencaptures with DVD quality versions.  If anyone is planning on purchasing the BluRay version and is willing to share screencaps, please contact us.

With Amy’s show Happy Town getting the green light at ABC, there was some speculation over whether or not she would be returning to Dollhouse. TV Guide just posted a lengthy interview with Joss Whedon and for once, he was being quite open about what’s in store for season two – including the future of Amy’s character Dr. Saunders.  The part of the interview pertaining to Amy is after the cut.  I figure most of you have already seen season one in its entirety but I don’t want to spoil anything for those who haven’t.

With many (many!) thanks to the folks at FOX, I’ve been able to view and make screencaptures of the unaired Dollhouse episode ‘Epitaph One’.  The episode is amazing!  By far my favorite of the first season.  It’s beautiful, haunting, sad, and like all great Joss moments in television – has a message.  I’m not going to say anything more as I don’t want to give anything away.  Which reminds me… since this episode isn’t available until the DVD release on the 28th, you may want to avoid the screencaptures.  They are very spoilerish.

edit: these screencaptures have been replaced with DVD quality versions.
