Being Human U.S.: Official Character Descriptions

Syfy has released character breakdowns for the lead characters of the U.S. version of the BBC's Being Human, about a vampire, werewolf and ghost living together.

Aidan - The Vampire
(Sam Witwer)

Aidan has worked as a nurse in a hospital in Boston for the past several years. He likes working in a job where he can hopefully do some good and help people. He also finds comfort in laying people to rest, in helping them find the peace in death that he will never know.

Josh - The Werewolf
(Sam Huntington)

Josh's bright future was hijacked when he was turned into a werewolf and forced to abandon his family and the life he once knew with no explanation. He established a lonely existence on the fringes of society, escaping to the woods each full moon for his excruciating transformation into a werewolf. Then he met Aidan, whose friendship allowed the funny, neurotic, loyal Josh to re-emerge—and with it, the prospect of a normal life. With Aidan's help, Josh secured a job as an orderly in the hospital. Though nothing close to the future he had in med school, Josh takes solace that at least he's working in the medical profession.

Sally -The Ghost
(Meaghan Rath)

Growing up, Sally was often forced to be tough and, as a result, she was a young woman who didn't take a lot of flack. She thought of working at the UN, or at the very least going to grad school. While in college, she fell in love with Danny and they became engaged right after graduation. Sally and Danny moved into the townhouse now occupied by Josh, Aidan (and the ghost, Sally). In life Sally was vivacious, smart, funny and driven. In death she is much the same, though her early demise finds her floundering for answers.

@LEEE- What the [frick]?! They're remaking Shameless?!?! That's blashphemy!! Seriously? Ow...my head hurts with all the crappy American versions of great British TV....I also heard they're going to have US versions of Skins, Misfits, The Inbetweeners and even Only Fools and Horses. It's getting out of hand.

They even Americanised an New Zealand show called Outrageous fortune. In America it's called Scoundrels and the Pilot episode is IDENTICAL to the New Zealand one except for the odd name or two haha
