The journey of Duke Crocker has not been an easy one. He went from being a carefree, happy-go-lucky smuggler to being one of the most cursed men in all of HAVEN. Not exactly plagued by one of HAVEN’s notorious “troubles,” Duke found out that his family’s legacy is that he can kill someone to save their family line from their “troubles.” Yet the thought of killing a person to save their family from a dreaded “trouble” is still not the kind of legacy Duke ever imagined. He would have preferred a treasure chest or even a cache of weaponry. But instead, he has this unique ability that turned him into the one thing he never wanted: a killer. Even to save lives and guarantee a better life for those left behind, Duke has found himself thrust amongst HAVEN’s “troubles” in a way he never imagined or wanted. It makes him both a unique ally and a foe. It is all a matter of which path he chooses. [Read more…]

HAVEN Central: Richard Donat and John Dunsworth Teasingly Talk Season 4 of HAVEN
One thing is for certain, when you talk with Richard Donat and John Dunsworth, you never know who you are going to be talking with. As long-accomplished actors, both can seamlessly switch in and out of character, and it makes for a hilarious interview. (If you watch the video interview below, you will see exactly what I mean!) One of the funny responses was to the question about whether we will be seeing Dave and Vince Teague interact with HAVEN’s new characters Jennifer (Emma Lahana) and Wade Crocker (Christian Camargo) and John was quick to quip, “No hanging out with Crockers!” While they do not want anything to do with the nefarious side of Duke Crocker’s (Eric Balfour) family and their dark legacy, Richard and John were happy to drop clues about Jennifer’s curious role and how Episode 410 will introduce a big surprise. They also shared that Dwight’s (Adam Copeland) plans disrupt a few of the Teagues’ plans, and that unsurprisingly the brothers may be on opposite sides yet again this season. One of the strengths and curiosities to the Teague brothers is how their many, many secrets have tied them together while they still work from different sides of the HAVEN-world. [Read more…]

HAVEN Central: Adam Copeland Talks Season 4 and the Fun of Filming HAVEN
As a former WWE wrestling champion, Adam Copeland is tickled to his toes that his role as Dwight Hendrickson has become a larger part of the story and vital role on HAVEN. Dwight is no longer just the “trouble”-plagued town’s “cleaner,” he is one of the town’s heroes. In the absence of Duke (Eric Balfour), Audrey (Emily Rose) and even Nathan (Lucas Bryant), it is Dwight who steps up to keep the peace and help out. Having been one the keepers of the town’s secrets and knowing how to keep a lid on “troubles” from boiling over, Dwight is the natural choice.

HAVEN Central: Lucas Bryant Teases Nathan’s Darker Journey in Season 4 of HAVEN
With Nathan Wuornos left dying from multiple bullet wounds in the Season 3 finale, there was some concern that perhaps Nathan would not survive to see Season 4 of HAVEN. But first thing, star Lucas Bryant reassures that Nathan is not coming back as a ghost and is alive and well. Right out of the gate in the first returning episode, Nathan’s fate is revealed and he is walking and talking. As fans, we should never doubt that our heroes will make through the dire straits of season finale cliffhangers — but we still worry. So in case fans had not yet already seen the Season 4 promos put out by Syfy, Nathan survived. In fact, HAVEN picks up its story six months later. Six months?! I can hear the cries now. But we all want to know what happened with Audrey (Emily Rose), Duke (Eric Balfour) and Nathan during that six month period. For the diehard fans, be sure to get the Season 3 DVD set which includes the 16-page special edition comic book “Haven: After the Storm” which details those missing six months. [Read more…]
HAVEN Central: Production Designer Jennifer Stewart Takes You Behind the Scenes of HAVEN
Everything from posters to signs to pamphlets and just about everything you may see as props and in the background is specially created and designed by the Art Production team of HAVEN in their arena facility in Chester, Nova Scotia. While location scouts and set dressers and prop masters all contribute to the visual look of a television show, it is still astounding how much the art production department has to do to make sure that each set or filming location has all the accoutrements needed to make it feel real — to make it seem like there is an actual place known as the “trouble”-filled town of Haven, Maine — and the television series HAVEN has figured out all the secrets to make their show come alive on screen.
In a recent exclusive interview, production designer Jennifer Stewart shared a bit about how they create all the visual elements to bring HAVEN to life. [Read more…]

The moment the barn disappeared taking Audrey (Emily Rose) and Duke (Eric Balfour) with it has been seared in our brains. We watched in horror along with Nathan (Lucas Bryant) as he stood watching in disbelief and horror as meteorites bombarded the little “troubled” town of Haven. As the comic book released with the Season 3 DVD/Blu-ray set showed, Nathan did survive his multiple gunshot wounds and Season 4 of HAVEN picks up six months later. So where shall we find Nathan after such a great amount of time? In a recent press call, star Lucas Bryant did his best to tease the upcoming season without too many spoilers. See for yourself!
