The Marilyn Denis Show

The Stars Of Flashpoint



By: Noelle Beauregard

CTV’s hit drama, ‘Flashpoint’ has brought action-packed excitement into millions of Canadian homes and the homes of a fan following that now spans worldwide.  “I think that ‘Flashpoint’ really sort of breathes this fantastic fan base especially here, being in Canada and in Toronto,” says Amy Jo Johnson.  “I believe Toronto looked quite sexy,” notes David Paetkau when they sat down with Marilyn to discuss their fifth and final season of playing Julianna ‘Jules’ Callaghan and Sam Braddock.

‘Flashpoint’ is about a SRU (Strategic Response Unit), an elite tactical entity that handles situations regular police officers aren’t trained to handle like hostages, bomb threats and criminals that are heavily armed.  In the show Johnson and Paetkau’s characters are in a relationship, and like each of their characters, their relationship has grown with each passing season.  Johnson’s character, Jules, is a negotiator, “She was pretty green in the beginning,” describes Johnson, “and then throughout all the seasons, she’s gained a lot of confidence.”  Paetkau would describe his character, the sniper, as “brash” at first “but he’s learned a lot” as the series progressed like “policing is not black and white, there is a grey area.”

 “The writers wrote big. They wrote huge. They blew the budget on this season,” said Peatkau when asked about the final season. He also revealed that “the first episode of season five is huge,” describing it as “shocking” asserting that “ It’s what happens at the end no one sees coming and it really echoes through the whole season.”

When asked how they felt about the series coming to an end Johnson answered that she is “more excited about the intensity” stressing that “the last two episode of the finale are so huge and as an actor it made me excited there is so much to sink your teeth in this season.”  They have concluded that this season people are going to be surprise at the scale.

Johnson and Peatkau fell in love with Toronto while filming ‘Flashpoint’ and both have decided to move to Toronto and are happy to call it home.  Johnson is currently testing her skills as a director in the short film ‘Bent’ and Peatkau will be making his first appearance on the big screen in the feature film ‘Man of Steel.’

Although it will be a somber day when that last episode of ‘Flashpoint’ airs, but it’s popularity will live on for many more years to come.

Don’t miss the fifth and final season of ‘Flashpoint’ Thursdays on CTV.
