It's been a long hiatus for Varied Lives, but the Head Writer says that is about to change.

"I haven't had a whole lot of spare time to write, but now that I do, there will be more episodes" said Head Writer Phillip Connelly.

As for the storylines, Connelly is just dropping hints.

"All I can say is there won't be any disappointments for readers. There are some characters that will be moving

to the front burner."

In casting news, the role of Norm Donahue has been recast. Lamman Rucker will takeover the role starting in episode 86. The reasoning for the recast given is that the character is being further fleshed out and taking a different direction and a new face was wanted to go along with the changes.
