It's not new Hex but it's still A Good Thing: reunions of the cast in new projects. Some reunions are already happening: Jemima Rooper and Christina Cole are both starring in Lost in Austen, while Zoe Tapper and Joseph Morgan will be appearing together in The Grind.
But given the choice, which former Hex stars would you most like to see working together again? And is it the actors who had a lot of screentime together (like Christina Cole and Michael Fassbender), ones who only shared a few scenes (like Christina Cole and Laura Pyper), or ones who never appeared together at all (Christina Cole and Joseph Beattie)? There's so many possible permutations that I've only listed a few and left 'other' to cover the rest.
Personally I'd love to see Christina Cole and Michael Fassbender work together again - they had great chemistry in Hex, regardless of your view on their characters' relationship, and anything that had them acting together again would be a must watch. But I've plumped for Jemima Rooper and Jamie Davis, who I always thought had great chemistry too, albeit in a completely different sense. Their scenes together, especially when Thelma first went into Leon's dreams, were a joy to watch.

This is so funny you posted this now! Over on Michael Fassbender Online we were just talking about how Both Christina and Michael are currently filming in South Africa and how much we would love to see them together again. You all know by now how much a Cassie/Az lover I am and mostly becuase of the chemistry Christina and Michael had. I would love to see if they could have tht magic again.

I read on IMDB that Christina's new movie was filming in South Africa, but I didn't know Michael Fassbender was working there too. So close and yet so far..!  |

I think of all the cast-members in Hex, Christina Cole and Jemima Rooper had the best chemistry. But it's actually Laura Pyper and Jemima Rooper whom I would most like to see work together again.
If I was allowed a second choice, it would be Jemima Rooper and Amber Sainsbury.

Thought it might be an idea to add the expanding list of projects that Hex stars have already co-starred in to this thread:
Christina Cole/Jemima Rooper - Lost in Austen
Christina Cole/Laura Pyper - Emma
Jemima Rooper/Joseph Beattie - Blood on Benefits
Zoe Tapper/Laura Pyper - Demons, episode 1.3 'Saving Grace'
Zoe Tapper/Joseph Morgan - The Grind
Any others that I've missed?

Good idea, and an ideal use for this thread. Two reunions you missed (and you're going to kick yourself) were;
Anna Wilson-Jones/Jemima Rooper - The Time of Your Life
Zoe Tapper/Katrine De Candole - Demons, episode 1.4 'Suckers'
Another possible reunion might have occurred in the second season of Sugar Rush: Anna Wilson-Jones played a recurring character and Jemima Rooper guest-starred in one episode, but I can't recall if that particular episode was one in which Anna appeared.

Zoe Tapper/Katrine De Candole - Demons, episode 1.4 'Suckers'Some Demons fan I am, missing that one.  Though I'd totally forgotten The Time of Your Life ever existed. Another reunion to add to the thread: Laura Pyper/Stephen Wight - Don Juan in Soho |

Adding the latest reunion to the thread:
Katrine De Candole/Anna Wilson-Jones - Lewis: 'Fearful Symmetry'
Have I missed any others? It's been a while (and several pages of spam) since this thread was updated.

Have I missed any others? Hmm. The only examples I can think of are; Zoe Tapper/Jemima Rooper - Reunited
Michael Fassbender/Katrine De Candole (as 'Swiss Receptionist') - X-Men: First ClassThere was also a near-miss when Katrine De Candole and Zoe Tapper appeared respectively in Episodes #1 and #3 of BBC1's extremely short-lived (just three episodes!) Italian detective series Zen. |

^Super, thank you.  Here's Digital Spy's contribution to the reunion question, in the form of their speculative casting for the film version of Fifty Shades of Grey:
Based on Stephenie Meyer's Twilight, Fifty Shades of Grey re-imagines Bella Swan as the 21-year-old Anastasia Steele. Though she's beautiful, with big blue eyes and gorgeous brown tresses, Ana's never met a man who's really captured her heart. Until she meets the inimitable Christian Grey, that is.
At 27, Christian is the painfully handsome CEO of Grey Enterprises Holdings Inc... the only catch is he has a secret proclivity for BDSM. He ultimately proposes a contract, in which Ana becomes his sexual submissive or "sub", obedient to his every whim. Digital Spy picks out a fantasy cast for the forthcoming adaptation of James's erotic novel below...
Michael Fassbender as Christian Grey
While actors like Ian Somerhalder and Alexander Skarsgård have expressed interest in the titular role, we think the dapper Michael Fassbender would be perfect as the businessman with a penchant for BDSM. He's got the right looks and temperament for Christian, and he's not shy about nudity (see Shame and this SAS commercial).
Sure he's a bit older than Christian, but so are Somerhalder and Skarsgård. Plus, if you've seen Fassbender in interviews, you know he can be playful as well as serious, which is key for the role of Christian. We need to believe that he has both a good side and a dark side, and only Fassbender can adequately bring that struggle to life for us.
Joseph Morgan as Elliot Grey
Joseph Morgan does an amazing job making the evil Klaus a fun-loving villain on The Vampire Diaries, so we'd like to see him take on the part of Elliot Grey, Christian's adopted older brother. Granted, Elliot's not as diabolical as Klaus (in fact, he's a pretty good guy), but they both share a love of blonde ladies and have a softer side they keep hidden from the world.
While some would argue that Morgan looks much too young to play Fassbender's older brother, we like the idea that the worldly Christian has been aged by his dark sexual obsessions, whereas the more good-natured Elliot still appears boyish. Also, we'd really love to see Morgan and Fassbender reunited from their days on the short-lived series Hex. As brothers, no less!Source |

Have only just learnt that a minor Hex reunion has been taking place on British TV screens over the last couple of months. Jamie Davis (Leon) has been playing regular character Max Walker in BBC1's Casualty for about a year, but (as I don't watch the show) I've only just become aware that Katy Carmichael (Peggy) has also recently been appearing in a recurring role as Hayley Blake.

As I've already posted elsewhere on the forum, Christina Cole is currently appearing in the BBC1 mini-series Strike: Lethal White, and of course the female lead in the various Strike series is Holiday Grainger, who - just over a decade ago - was one of the regular cast in Demons. In fact, all of Christina's scenes in Lethal White's first episode (shown last night, 30th August 2020) were with Holiday. So technically not an actual Hex reunion, but as Demons was Hex's sister show, made by Shine and sharing the same producers, writers and several actors, I'd argue that it's close enough to deserve mentioning.
