Changes Between the Novels and the TV Series
Vicki will have an assistant, named Coreen Fennel.
Henry Fitzroy no longer a romance writer, but a comic book artist.
The polyamorous / love triangle situation between Henry, Vicki and Mike Celluci should be preserved, but both Henry and Vicki are going to be bisexual in the TV series, instead of only Henry, as in the books. (Source: AfterEllen.com)
The character of Tony Foster has been written out, because Huff hopes to be able to sell the Smoke books (which star Tony, in a spin-off from the Blood books) independently. (Source: Tanya Huff)
