The Actress That Was #2 to Play Sydney Drew An article is from the Australian newspaper The Advertiser's Adelaide Confidential section. Teresa Palmer is an actress who was the runner-up for the role of Sydney Drew. The article specifically mentions casting for Power Rangers 6 months ago, which is when S.P.D. casting was taking place. She says she made it to the final two, which means Alycia Purrott beat out her for the role in S.P.D. You can view the article here.

Story
Power Rangers: Space Patrol Delta launches with three protagonists: Bridge Carson, Sky Tate, and Syd Drew. Before long, they are joined by rebellious teens Jack Landors, and "Z" Delgado. Later in the storyline, a Black Power Ranger joins the team and for the first time ever, an alien life force joins as the White Power Ranger. For now, Jack, Z, Bridge, Sky and Syd are the second-tier prospects, or "B Squad", at the elite SPD Academy which boasts state-of-the-art facilities and the best instructors to mentally and physically train prospective Power Rangers. Their acquired knowledge is tested regularly when they back up the elite "A Squad" Power Rangers.
When the "A Squad" Power Rangers are captured during an outer space mission, the "B Squad" Power Rangers are called up to protect Earth despite the great discord brewing among them. The "B Squad" Power Rangers each have an amazing attribute that sets them apart:
Jack can de-molecularize and pass through any object
Sky can create invisible force fields with his mind.
Bridge has psychic tracking abilities.
Z can duplicate herself.
Syd can turn her hands into any element she touches.
Their commander is Anubis "Doggie" Cruger, an extraterrestrial who has physical characteristics of both a human and a dog. He was a onetime member of the Space Patrol Delta Squadron and is the sole survivor from his native star planet, Sirius, which was taken over by Troobian invaders and a devious warlord, Emperor Gruumm. Now, Anubis knows the danger that looms -- the Troobian's next target is Earth.
Among the other characters are Dr. Katherine "Kat" Manx, an alien with cat-like features who is in charge of all research and design for Power Rangers gadgets; her assistant Boom who was rejected by the academy; Robotic Interactive Canine (RIC), a robotic dog with a mission to defend and support the Power Rangers; 10-year-old bad seed Mora, the right-hand operative to Emperor Gruumm; Morgana, the adult counterpart to Mora; Omni, a Troobian creature who survives in an artificial environment and Piggy, a turncoat informant for the Power Rangers.

Two New Zealand Newspaper Articles on Power Rangers: S.P.D. Two newspapers recently from New Zealand gave us a little bit of information about the next season, although nothing extraordinarily significant. The first artcle is about an extra in Power Rangers: S.P.D. who plays some small roles in the show, including an extra in a cafe scene and an alien. You can view the first article here. The second is an article from October 21 and describes filming of the show taking place in Hamilton, New Zealand, and includes a monster picture. You can view the second article here.
