Looking forward to it! 

HOW many DS alumni have played roles in it on stage?  ( I know there's AT LEAST one.)

Heh, heh.  You mean Selby, of course.  He had Burton's role in L.A.

Come to think of it, I did catch an episode of Port Charles on SoapNet awhile back. I think that vampire (with the longer dark hair) is now on my friend's favorite soap....Guiding Light. Looks like no more long fangs for him.

Isn't he playing a cop on One Life to Live?

Happy Birthday, Ben, and congratulations on the approaching release of "Inventing Late Night: Steve Allen and the Original Tonight Show."  Twenty-one more days til the target date, woo hoo!

Wonder how the WB would react (minus its legal concerns) to the DS 2004 pilot being leaked on the internet like in the case with the WB's Global Frequency pilot-who's writer seems to think is not a bad thing (outside of the legal concerns) as it could lead to a release on DVD etc.... Perhaps the public does have a right to see the DS pilot and then judge the WB's decision to pass on the pilot. Whats fair is fair. Of course this is all a "what if" post.

I think the answer to how they would react is in this quote from the article:  "Whether the pilot was picked up or not, it is still the property of Warner Bros. Entertainment and we take the protection of all of our intellectual property seriously," said Craig Hoffman, a company spokesman. "While Warner Bros. Entertainment values feedback from consumers, copyright infringement is not a productive way to try to influence a corporate decision."

I understand you're just speculating, so this is nothing personal, but I don't see how this issue (leaking TV pilots via P2P) can be separated from any legal risks, which include injunctions, costs, damages, and even criminal sanctions.  That having been said, would I pay to legally download the pilot if WB were to release it?  In a New York minute.  However, I think the WB execs have already shown that they can't recognize a good idea even when it's right in front of their faces.   :-

Happy Birthday, deron

Hope it's great!

Yesterday's LA Times favorably reviewed the West Coast premiere of "Honour" starring DS alum Susan Sullivan as the title character.  The writeup included the photo below with this caption:  BLIND SPOTS:  Robert Foxworth's Gus leaves his wife (Susan Sullivan) for a younger woman in "Honour" at the Matrix Theatre.  (Sullivan and Foxworth are from the original cast of "Falcon Crest," which of course also featured you-know-who.  )

The full review:  Marriage unravels, with wit   Registration to Calendar Online may be required.  The play is currently at the Matrix Theatre, 7657 Melrose Ave., West Hollywood.  8 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays; 3 p.m. Sundays.  Ends Nov. 6.  $20-$25.  (323) 852-1445.  1 hour, 35 minutes.

I understand that Jane Wyman will not commit to one, but wouldn't a Falcon Crest reunion movie with Selby be fun? 

Starshine is one of those great songs...and whatever happened to Oliver?????

I remember liking his next song, too-- "Jean."  Anyway, Oliver retired from the music biz in the 80s and passed away from cancer in 2000.
