SHE'S BACK! VIEWER FAVORITE PAIGE
DAVIS RETURNS TO TRADING SPACES
January 2008
Silver Spring, MD - Responding
to overwhelming viewer demand, TLC has announced that
they completed a deal to bring Paige Davis back to TRADING
SPACES, the series that redefined home design. During
her reign, the show grew to be the #1 show on cable
on Saturday nights. Now, more than two years after parting
ways, Davis comes back to TLC to host the new 2008 season
of TRADING SPACES, launching on Saturday, January 26,
2008.
After departing, Davis held
an exclusive development deal with King World/CBS. She
returned to Broadway starring in the musical Chicago
and later toured the country in the Broadway hit Sweet
Charity. And she recently premiered her solo cabaret
show.
Davis is working with the
network to choose the "family" of designers for the
series, bringing back many of her closest friends and
new faces to round out the cast. Other original cast
members returning to the franchise include Doug Wilson,
Laurie Hickson-Smith, Frank Bielec and Hildi Santo-Thomas.
Joining them are cast members from more recent seasons
like carpenter Faber Dewar and designer Edward Walker.
Welcoming back Davis and some
of the series original cast members while also infusing
it with an updated look and spirit will give viewers
an exciting new season filled with the smart, innovative
design (and likely more than a few debacles) - just
what they've come to love about the program. And, with
the season filmed entirely in HD, viewers will see the
spectacular reveals in amazing clarity on TLC's HD simulcast.
New to the series is A. Smith
& Co., the production company behind the smash hits
like "Hell's Kitchen" and "Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares.".
The new season of TRADING SPACES will be infused with
their unique style and ability to transform intense
and exciting competition into engaging television.
