“It’s nice to get out of the basketball realm, seeing how other big-time things go down. “It beats being in the office,” Nurse says of his surroundings. But once he told his executive assistant, Jenny, she insisted he sign up. Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse was approached to make an appearance, though he initially wasn’t sure. Weir wasn’t the only one there repping Canadian sports. “We’re big fans of the show and Jason so we were honoured to have been included in this episode with this group.” “They cast Mike for a small cameo, and then somehow I got written into the script,” says the Bachelor in Paradise winner. Also by his side was his real-life girlfriend, reality star Michelle Money. “Even though I’m out of my comfort zone, being in golf attire, at a course, in golf mode, helped,” says Weir who, up until this, had only ever appeared in golf commercials. The golfer was both nervous and excited when the show reached out to his agents. Speaking of which, who better to take part in a celebrity golf tournament than Mike Weir, who deadpanned, “It IS a golf-themed episode so I kind of fit in.” “Mia wants to see what celebrities are here and get Angie to meet some people.” Ironic for the former ET Canada correspondent, who’s met her share of famous people. “But she has a case to work on.”Įnter Mia, who, Chanté makes clear, is not there to golf. “Mia’s always trying to get Angie out of her shell and this time, she’s ready to have some fun,” says Sampson of her workaholic character and her paramedic pal, played by Keshia Chanté. On the non-work side, sparks fly between Shade and actress Willow Marshall, while Angie decides it may be time to finally let her hair down and follow in her best friend’s fun footsteps. In “Under Par-essure,” (we see what they did there), Shade (Priestley) and Angie (Cindy Sampson) are on the hunt for the stalker of a female golf pro. We’re always looking for fun, sexy interesting worlds here in Toronto and this is the one we decided to delve into this week.” It’s been interesting to deal with but it’s what we do on this show. “Shooting at a golf course and shooting an episode that revolves around a sporting event like this, it’s always a lot. “It’s fun but it also provides us with a lot of logistical challenges.” “There’s a mystery that takes Shade and Angie to a celebrity golf tournament,” says series star Jason Priestley. Which I suppose was the point — and exactly what is at the centre of this week’s episode of Private Eyes. Because if you’ve ever been to a charity golf tournament, well, that’s what it looked like, from the immaculate greens to the tents holding all kinds of swag. As we drove down the driveway to the main clubhouse of the Ladies’ Golf Club of Toronto, it looked like anything but a set. It was a hot September afternoon in 2019, back when set visits to the media were open and masks weren’t required.
