Breaking news! Lacey Turner, star of EastEnders and killer of Archie Mitchell (I know, we were shocked too) is coming to Being Human to play a new supernatural character, Lia.

Lacey, famous for playing Stacey Slater in the soap, is sure to bring some of her cockney charm to the show. Here's what she said of her first TV role since she joined Eastenders in 2004 "It was fantastic working on Being Human, I had some great scenes with Aidan Turner, especially when his character Mitchell is facing up to some of the things he has done in the past. The cast and crew were really welcoming and I can't wait to watch how the story comes together on screen when the series airs."

We can reveal that Mitchell meets Lia whilst on 'the other side' as he attempts a rescue mission to try and save Annie. Lia attempts to steer him on his journey, but whether the outcome is good or bad is yet to be seen.

We're getting nervous...

Most days you'll find Marcus Whitney in the Being Human make-up truck doing unspeakable things with jelly and fake blood... Disgusting, I know. However, Marcus recently found time to star in his own promo for the BBC HD Channel, letting the cameras inside the truck once again to show how the detail of HD makes his job harder than ever.

Don't miss this and other insightful behind-the-scenes shorts in glorious high definition on the BBC HD channel. And to find out more about why they were made, check out this blog post from Danielle Nagler, the controller of BBC HD.

On another note, are we the only ones who think Marcus should have his own show? Surely not...

Well Being Human fans, today is a double whammy.

Not only is it the first day of filming for series three, it's also the launch of our new feature... The Being Human Diaries. We're risking life and limb to get closer and more personal than ever with the cast and crew in our very own reports from the Being Human set.

This week we were at the read-through to see the BH3 scripts brought to life for the first time. For those of you who followed the day on Twitter you'll know how excited we got about the new storylines. Toby has truly pulled out all the stops with a feast of humour, action and some very original challenges on the horizon for our foursome. (And if we had a pound every time we heard someone describe it as 'sen-say-shunal' we'd have been very rich bloggers indeed.)

There was also a cheeky copy of your good luck messages slipped into all the scripts, giving the whole team a massive boost for the series ahead.

Make no mistake... Being Human is BACK.
