Main

[edit]
  • Lorna Corbett (Meg Tilly) – The Victory Munitions' Blue Shift floor matron. Lorna's relationship with her husband is strained. Her daughter works as a nurse's aide and her two sons are fighting in the war. Lorna tries to keep reins on the girls who work under her and often advocates for their best interests, being very moral and traditional. She has an affair with Marco after originally trying to get him fired, with the affair resulting in a pregnancy. Lorna later miscarries after her husband finds out about the affair.
  • Gladys Witham (Jodi Balfour) – The only daughter of a wealthy Rosedale family, she originally began working in the office during Blue Shift but had her position changed so she could work on the floor. She has a one-night affair (petting and kissing only) with a soldier, Lewis, and accepts his marriage proposal out of guilt, despite already being engaged; she later discovers that her fiancé has been having an affair. She speaks her mind and works hard to be accepted by the other floor workers. Eventually, her fiancé enlists and is killed overseas. Gladys struggles with her future and not knowing her role.
  • Betty McRae (Ali Liebert) – A tomboyish and skilled worker of German ancestry from the prairies, who thrives at the factory; their best worker, she is also in charge of training the Blue Shift's new girls. Because of this, she becomes the spokes-model for the factory in a war campaign film. Her hard, tough exterior masks her insecurity and feelings of being an outsider, due to her hidden lesbianism. Betty slowly becomes best friends with Kate, with whom she falls in love. After being rejected romantically by Kate, Betty becomes romantically involved with a soldier named Teresa. She goes to jail for Kate after taking the blame for the accidental death of Kate's father, though eventually is released and returns to working at the factory.
  • Kate Andrews (Charlotte Hegele) – Born Marion Rowley, she is one of the factory's newest floor workers. Kate is on the run from her abusive, street-preacher father. Viewed as sheltered, naïve, and very shy, Kate slowly begins to break out of her perceived "shell". A talented singer, she befriends Leon Riley, who introduces her to jazz and gets her a job singing for his band. In the season one finale, she returns home with her father, who has managed to track her down. She returns to work at Victory Munitions in the second season, where she begins dating Betty's ex-boyfriend, Ivan, and eventually becomes engaged to him (though they later break up). After a factory explosion kills Ivan, Kate decides to quit the factory and follow her dreams to be a singer.

Production

[edit]

The series was created by Michael MacLennan and Adrienne Mitchell and based on a concept by Debi Drennan and Maureen Jennings.[19] Although set at the fictional Victory Munitions plant in Toronto, the series was based on the real accounts of workers from the DIL Ajax and the GECO Scarborough plants.[20]

The first season was written by Michael MacLennan, Esta Spalding, John Krizanc, and Shelley Eriksen and directed by Adrienne Mitchell, Ken Girotti, and Anne Wheeler. The executive producers are Janis Lundman, Michael MacLennan, Adrienne Mitchell, and Michael Prupas.[21] The first season producer is Wendy Grean. The editors are Teresa De Luca and Tad Seaborn. Éric Cayla does cinematography on the show. Aidan Leroux is the production designer, Joanne Hansen is the costume designer, Valentine Prokop is in the sound department, and Marie Nardella is in makeup department. Mario Rachiele adds visual effects to the program. The score is composed by Peter Chapman, and music supervision is by Andrea Higgins of Arpix Media.

The series was filmed in Toronto with a converted furniture factory in Etobicoke standing for the Victory Munitions Factory.[22] Season 1 was filmed from September 12 to November 16, 2011.[23] Muse Entertainment and Back Alley Film Productions are the production companies. In Canada, the series is distributed by Shaw Media; internationally the series is distributed by Muse Distribution International.

In April 2013, Global TV and Shaw Media announced that Bomb Girls would not return for a third season.[24] They did, however, suggest that a two-hour TV movie serving as a series finale was in the works and was planned air in 2014.[24] Disappointed viewers launched an internet campaign in an effort to get this decision reversed.[25]

Bomb Girls: Facing the Enemy

[edit]

In October 2013, Shaw Media announced that production had begun on a two-hour television film.[26] The original cast, including Meg Tilly, Jodi Balfour, Charlotte Hegele, Ali Liebert, Antonio Cupo, Anastasia Phillips, Michael Seater, and Peter Outerbridge reprised their roles. The film was shot in Toronto and Hamilton until November 20, 2013. This was confirmed by Ali Liebert.[27] The film, titled Bomb Girls: Facing the Enemy, premiered on Global TV in Canada on March 27, 2014 and was later aired on Reelz in the United States on May 26, 2014.[28][29]
