The eighth episode of season five, \u201cDeep Trouble\u201d represents the pivot episode in the story arc before the long awaited return of Vanessa Van Helsing<\/a> (Kelly Overton<\/a>).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Written by two of our favorites Jeremy Smith<\/a> and Matt Venables<\/a> who raised the bar on excitement bringing many fans to wonder if all the heroes will survive in an excellent episode directed by industry veteran Jacquie Gould<\/a>, all of whom we have admired for years!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There was some social media chatter that \u201cDeep Trouble\u201d was a filler episode leading to the series finale coming in July on SYFY<\/a> in the United States. We here at Team WHR<\/a> could not disagree more with this assessment, \u201cDeep Trouble\u201d was NOT a filler episode, but an important story leading to the series finale.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Coming shortly after the death of the Julius character portrayed by Aleks Paunovic<\/a>, \u201cDeep Trouble\u201d was the perfect way to increase the character tension of the viewers by placing our heroes Axel (Jonathan Scarfe<\/a>), Jack (Nicole Mu\u00f1oz<\/a>), Violet (Keeya King<\/a>) and Ivory (Jennifer Cheon Garcia<\/a>) in an extremely dangerous situation that could have led to the death of another character before the series finale. It is season five after all and everyone may not survive!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Bravo to all involved, especially Jeremy Smith and Matt Venables and Jacquie Gould for the awesome episode which featured a fine young actor named Avionne Dean<\/a> and a WormholeRiders favorite, Steve Bacic<\/a>, who we have admired ever since he was featured in the X-Files<\/a>, Stargate SG-1<\/a>, Andromeda<\/a> and recently in Debris<\/a>!
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Team WHR<\/a> would like to give special thanks to all the writers of Van Helsing<\/a>, to Chad Oakes<\/a> and Mike Frislev<\/a> from Nomadic Pictures<\/a>, series creator Neil LaBute<\/a>, and season five executives and producers Jonathan Walker<\/a>, Todd Giroux<\/a>, Morris Chapdelaine<\/a>, Jonathan Scarfe<\/a>, and Kelly Overton<\/a> for bringing the Van Helsing story arc full circle since season one. As well, all our admiration goes out to all the crews and crafts people that make Van Helsing<\/a> come to life on our screens each week for the past five years!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cDeep Trouble\u201d episode focuses on Axel, Violet, Jack and Ivory who are on their way to Washington D.C. to (hopefully) finish off Dracula The Dark One (Tricia Helfer<\/a>) who has shape shifted into the body of the President of the United States in an effort to enslave the entire world! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Suddenly, but not unexpectedly, our vampire hunting heroes are attacked by misguided minions of the President who has taken control of the United States military with the express purpose of hunting down and killing vampire hunters, especially any associated with the Van Helsing sisters! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This awesome adventure forces our heroes to seek shelter in an abandoned mine to save their lives. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The cave ultimately turns out to be not so abandoned as we witnessed in the “Deep Trouble” episode.
