Newton Walker, producer and director of the movies The Gifted and it's sequel The Gifted Child comes this new television show starting Tonina Walker, reprising her role from The Gifted Child.
Now a teen, the series follows the her life as she deals with all the usual teen stuff, plus the additional troubles that come from having to conceal powers.
The Gifted Television Studio is now open for business. In addition to having a studio store, when they're not filming you can go on a tour of the sets.
"I've been dreaming of doing this for quite some time now," said Newton. "It's very exciting to see that dream fulfilled. The Gifted has turned out to be very successful over the years, and I hope this series is just as successful. Of course, Tonina won't be a teen forever: we're hoping the series will be popular enough to follow her into Uni. After that, who knows? The world of The Gifted has a lot of potential for expansion into the next generation."
"Well, I don't know if I'd want to play this role forever," Tonina admits. "I'm planning to major in Drama at Uni, and I hope that after graduation I'll

be able to broaden my experience and play some new roles. I don't fancy the idea of being type-cast. Doing cameos in future Gifted projects might be fun though."
In the meantime, Tonina has been seen with new boyfriend, B'mar Corsillo. On their relationship, Tonina denied a comment.
The Gifted Child is now showing on the Sci-Fi channel on Mondays at 6pm.

Green Sky
Rated: M
Phil Todd stars in this futuristic movie about a world so badly poisoned the sky actually appears to be green. Phil puts on another one of his stellar performances playing a man trying to survive in a world where farmers rule the roost. Script is a little flimsy, but so well directed that the plot holes go past almost unnoticed.
Jessica
Rated: G
Jessica is a family friendly movie about a little girl, named 'Jessica' no less, who finds a genie and trouble ensures. It's a little cheesy but your kids will love it. Rainbow Valley resident, Jasmine Ternynck plays a supporting role as Jessica's mother.

Anna and Nicholas Wilson have founded the Rainbow Valley museum.
"Some might say that Rainbow Valley isn't old enough to have a museum dedicated to its own history yet," Anna said. "But those sims are wrong. We're making that history right now. So much has happened already and the museum aims to make sure this history isn't forgotton."
Perhaps the centrepiece of the museum is the Founding Family Portraits. The paintings depict the founding families as they were before they moved in, and include Cassandra Chancellor, Casper Walker, Theodore and Lauren Davenport.
"Sure," Anna admits, "none of them actually saw Rainbow Valley, but their final resting place is here, and we consider them part of our community."

The Founding Family Portraits
In addition to the paintings, the museum contains various pieces from or depicting events from Rainbow Valley's recent history. This includes a Rainbow Valley Llamas banner, memorabilia from Rainbow Valley University's first year, and a

painting based on Stephanie Chancellor's photo of the Grim Reaper.
There are plans to expand the museum's collection: something from every major event to hit the neighbourhood. In response to the recent alien abductions, there is even a painting of a UFO! The gift shop also sells a number of alien related merchandise.
"The tourists love it," Anna explained. "They're all about the alien abductions."
The museum also has a small library which holds every issue of the Rainbow Valley Chronicle.
The Rainbow Valley Museum has a §5 entry fee and is open six days a week.
