SHOOT: Season 8 of PSYCH Starts Filming in Vancouver

Psych started filming [eight] episodes for season eight of the USA Network show in Vancouver yesterday. Dule Hill tweeted a fun photo of Psych’s crime-fighting quartet — James Roday’s  ”psychic” Shawn Spencer, Dule Hill’s BFF Burton “Gus” Guster,  Timothy Omundson’s Santa Barbara police detective Carlton “Lassie” Lassiter and Maggie Lawson’s detective Juliet O’Hara — at their police station set in North Shore Studios in the morning.

Much later in the day, Psych filmed inside the heritage Kensington Place in the West End, with Timothy Omundson’s  Carleton “Lassie” Lassiter spotted on set. Could this be the Carleton and Marlowe love nest? Maybe not. The twenty-two European-style condos in this renovated 1912 building shouldn’t be in the  newly-married couple’s price range, with their 9-foot ceilings, Corinthian pillars and Rococo moldings.
