Ringer premiered last night to decent enough ratings, so we’ll have to wait and see what happens with the longevity of the show, but the premiere left us with a lot of questions that I’m anxious to see answered.

The September 20 episode of Ringer picks up essentially where the premiere left off: Bridget has just killed a hitman sent after Siobhan. Frightened, she calls Malcolm for guidance, but doesn’t want to go with his suggestion of calling the police. After all, Bridget is now a fugitive on the run from the FBI. Speaking of the FBI, Victor Machado decides to stick around New York and try to get more information out of “Siobhan” about Bridget. In other words, Bridget’s world is starting to get very tense.

Dexter’s Jamie Murray will be making a guest appearance as Andrew’s business partner and the duo decide to throw a client party. Gemma continues to get even more confrontational as she discovers more proof that Henry is having an affair. From the look of the photo to the right, it appears that Gemma is starting to lash out about the whole situation.

Siobhan, meanwhile, seems to be in Paris, complaining about how her sister is “ruining everything”. But she won’t let that put a crimp in whatever plans she’s trying to implement.

Below is a trailer for the September 20 episode of Ringer.

The show starts tomorrow on CW. *Can’t wait*

Working moms, Sarah Michelle Gellar would like to tip her hat to you all. And once you have Buffy’s support, there is no cooler stamp of approval.

SMG is a working mom herself, and when she spilled to Entertainment Weekly for the magazine’s cover story (out now), our E! News cameras were there to capture the magic. Gellar talked about the heartache, reward and stress that goes into juggling career and family, plus great tidbits on her much-anticipated return to TV with the CW thriller Ringer…

“It’s been difficult,” Gellar admitted to EW editor Jess Cagle. “My hat goes off to any working parent. It is the hardest to juggle. I know my job is by no means the hardest in the world, but to any parents, again, it is so difficult because you’re trying to focus so hard but you’re always wondering, What’s my child doing? Are they OK? Did they eat their lunch? Did they eat their vegetables? Did they take their nap? It’s how to separate both of them.”

Speaking of separating things, SMG may be a seasoned television pro, but even the concept of playing twin sisters (one is impersonating the other), makes her head spin. “We joke that I actually play five characters,” she said. “I play Bridget in the past, I play Siobhan in the past, I play Bridget in the present and Siobhan in the present and I play ‘Shiovette,’ who is Bridget pretending to be Siobhan. So it’s very confusing.”

Um, yeah. We’re supposed to be TV experts and even we have a hard time wrapping our mind around that. Thankfully, Gellar is easily confused, too. “I get confused about almost anything,” she laughed. “Every so often I might find myself in a top from one character and in the pants of another character and think, Wait, wrong scene. But once you get into the scene, you realize pretty quickly who you are. And it was actually kind of funny because a lot of the castmembers hadn’t done a scene with present-day Siobhan, and we just did the first one yesterday and people were like, ‘Oh it’s so weird, we haven’t met Siobhan yet.’”

And after months of filming, SMG has really grown to love all five of her characters, and she even gets protective over them. “I don’t look at them as good and bad. I look at them as them being in two different places in their lives,” she said. “Had you met them eight years ago, you would call Bridget the bad twin and Siobhan the good twin. Circumstances have made it what it is, and I think that is what is so interesting about the duality of anybody. Bridget is living her life trying to redeem for all the mistakes that she has made and all the people she has hurt, and Siobhan is motivated by revenge for all the wrongs that were done to her. And they were pretty bad! I can’t tell you, but I can hint.”

But her most important role lately is mother, and after so many years in the business, Gellar has definitely learned her fair share of lessons.

“I think that that is the hardest thing about what we do is the hours. They are very long, but I will say that this experience is incredibly different,” she revealed. “You learn a lot from your first time. Don’t do a show with vampires, at night, with stunts. There is only so much available night, and it’s outside and it’s cold. You want to play rich people, so we are playing rich people indoors. So we get done by 8 o’clock at night, much more civil.”

Dumb question, but how excited are you for SMG back on your TV screen? And don’t forget to check back tomorrow for extended bonus footage you won’t get anywhere else but here!

Newsflash (if you’ve been living at the bottom of the sea with no internet): Sarah Michelle Gellar is coming back to TV!

The Buffy star is poised to return in the CW’s new suspense drama Ringer, and our E! News cameras caught all the action as she sat down with Entertainment Weekly for the magazine’s cover story, out now.

So what does she have to say about her time on Buffy, her return to All My Children (spoiler alert: Find out who she’s playing!) and how she’s kept her marriage so private? Plus, what’s this about the possibility of hubby Freddie Prinze Jr. coming on Ringer?

First, the quote that shocked us the most:

“I don’t have a burning desire to accomplish anything,” SMG tells EW editor Jess Cagle.

But wait, before you start thinking that TV’s best-ever butt-kicking babe has become something of a slacker, please note that this clearly driven working mom is anything but! She’s referencing the fact that her time on Buffy feels like the pinnacle of a lifetime achievement—something with which you fellow Buffy fans can wholeheartedly agree, right?

“[Buffy] was so fulfilling for me in every way and everything I do now is the cherry on top,” Sarah explains. “I don’t feel the pressure to do this, or have to do this or go here because I feel like I’ve already won.” Love.

Sarah also reveals how she managed not to spiral out of control despite all the fame and fandemonium she experienced at such a young age: “I think it’s tricky. If you don’t have that support system at home to begin with, then it’s so easy to believe all the hype. I guess at the end of the day, I know who I am. If I see myself on a magazine cover at the supermarket, I don’t even realize that it’s me.”

As for ABC’s All My Children, Sarah reveals, “I’m playing a mental patient,” since her original character, Kendall, has been recast. She also finds the cancellation of AMC and other soaps “devastating,” adding, “I don’t see the shows they’re replacing it with lasting 40 years. I don’t see that happening.”

Despite starring in Scooby Doo with real-life husband Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah credits their longtime approach with the media for keeping their private lives out of the public eye.

“I think if you’re able to walk that line from the beginning you’ll find people have to be respectful of it,” Sarah explains. “We’ve never flaunted our relationship.”

So any chance Sarah and Freddie will work together again?

“I don’t think it’s an option now. Because we make it a point that one of us is home with our daughter. I’d love to get him to guest star on [Ringer] for an episode because it would be fun, but we’ll see.”

As not only the show’s two leading ladies (she plays twin sisters), but also a producer, we’re guessing Gellar can probably make that guest spot happen if she wants to. Just a hunch.

Check back tomorrow for part two of this Sarah Michelle Gellar interview. And this Wednesday, we’ll have extended bonus footage not seen anywhere else.

TVGuide.com has released a new Ringer Sneak Peak!

Ringer premiere will be on September 13, 2011 on CW

On a network TV landscape filled with plenty of generic, basic plotlines (doctors and lawyers and cops, oh my), The CW’s upcoming series Ringer instantly stands out, with its complex, intriguing storyline. In her first series since Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sarah Michelle Gellar stars as Bridget, a woman with a troubled past, who finds herself on the run after she witnesses a crime. When Bridget’s much better off twin sister, Siobhan (also played by Gellar), kills herself — with no one but Bridget aware of this fact — Bridget assumes Siobhan’s identity, only to discover her sister had many, dangerous secrets of her own.

Gellar is a producer on Ringer (which also stars Lost’s Nestor Carbonell and Fantastic Four’s Ioan Gruffudd), alongside creators Eric C. Charmelo and Nicole Snyder (Supernatural). At last week’s CW Upfront, I spoke to the actress about her new series and what brought her back to TV. And as you’ll see, Gellar was dedicated to keeping the show’s many secrets, albeit in a very playful manner.

IGN TV: Fans have wanted to see you back on TV again for quite a while. What was it about Ringer that drew you in?

Sarah Michelle Gellar: Celebrity Rehab wouldn’t have me! Real Housewives didn’t want me. They said I was the most boring housewife in the history of Housewives. [Real Housewives' executive producer] Andy Cohen denied me and said no. So I thought okay, so I can’t be on Celebrity Rehab, I can’t be on Real Housewives… I know!

It was about waiting for the right script. When you have a show like Buffy, you can’t just do anything afterwards. It has to be something that speaks to not just me, but to the audience that was so incredibly loyal to me and that wanted to be challenged – that wanted something different, that wanted to be kept on the edge of their seats. And this is the first thing I read where I really thought, “This works for everybody.”

IGN: This show has a pretty interesting, complex setup…

Gellar: Do not ask me to set it up! I’ll send you a logline!

IGN: [Laughs] I won’t ask you to, I promise! But what is it like playing both these characters? Though I’m not sure how much you’ll be playing Siobhan…

Gellar: You will see both sisters continuously… Maybe not necessarily every episode or consecutively, but you will be seeing them.

IGN: Can you talk at all about…

Gellar: No!

IGN: [Laughs] I’d imagine Bridget has some pretty major reasons to go to such extreme lengths.

Gellar: It’s about demons. It’s a story of redemption. It’s a story of what happens when circumstances put your life in a direction you never saw and you’re trying to make amends for it, but you just keep getting deeper and deeper. It really goes for both girls, both sisters.

IGN: There are a lot of different directions a story like this could go. As a producer, do you have some pretty strong ideas about where you’d like to take things, now that you’ve got the pickup?

Gellar: Yes. Is that the answer you were totally looking for? [Laughs]

IGN: Exactly the answer! Ringer looks to have a strong thriller element. Are you looking forward to the potential for a lot of twists and turns?

Gellar: Yes. Except I don’t have to be chased and kill people. That’s the best part. I come injury free. Well, except for that one time that Ioan knocked into me, but that was his fault!
