Harper's Globe is a social show produced by EQAL and CBS, which began daily posts on March 10, 2009, and officially premiered on March 18, 2009. It is the online equivalent to the CBS television show, Harper's Island. The show will last for sixteen weeks.

Harper's Globe is the first EQAL show not to be a part of the LG15 Franchise, meaning it does not focus on the Order or trait positive girls. However, working on it are several cast and crew members from previous LG15 shows, including Melanie Merkosky, Greg Goodfried, Miles Beckett, Kevin Schlanser, Ram Paul Silbey, Travis Prow, Andrea Aguilar, Casey Klebba, and Mallory Whitelaw.

The show follows the story of Harper's Globe, a newspaper in conjunction with Harper's Island. The main character of the social show, who is also a minor character in the television series, video blogs about her experiences on Harper's Island along with interacting with the community about the mysteries that occur.

Cast of characters

  • Melanie Merkosky as Robin Matthews, a journalist with a mysterious past who is sent to Harper's Island to create a digital archive of the local newspaper's files and create a community website.
  • Josh Evans as Brent Cyr, a new friend Robin makes on the island. Brent and Robin become romantically involved, but the mysterious forces that have come into play on Harper's Island puts his life in the balance.
  • Unknown Actor as Sparky Mackle, the Editor of Harper's Globe, the offical newspaper of Harper's Island. He is resistant to the technological upgrades of the twenty-first century, but often acts as a friend to Robin.
  • David Loren as Peck, a freshman as Washington Pacific University who pledges a fraternity during Rush Week. Robin warns him in advance about a hazing that the fraternity has in store for him, and he attempts to pull one over on them.
  • Dangerous Wreck, a pseudonym for the Fraternity Brothers to haze Peck. They begin posting videos to the site in order to discredit Robin after she interferes with their hazing ritual.
  • Cheshire Cat, a pseudonym for a mysterious entity with connections to the string of murders that are occurring on Harper's Island. It is unclear whether his intentions are malevolent or not.

Casting Robin

Melanie was "meant to play Robin Matthews."

According to several accounts, Miles Beckett and Greg Goodfried both recommended Melanie Merkosky for the role of Robin in the early stages of casting, but the studio wanted a new face to be attached to the project, and held an open audition for the role. According to Executive Producer Matt Siegel, only one person stood out, and he showed the audition to Miles and Greg. As it turns out, the audition was Melanie's, who had come in not knowing that EQAL had any involvement with the project. Melanie’s audition tape was to CBS and the Harper’s Island producers and everyone immediately agreed that she was perfect for the role. <ref>http://www.harpersglobe.com/tlc_units/filter/6/356/1</ref>
