INTRODUCING THE NEWBIES (And RETURNEES) of 'Return to Santa Barbara'

Question -- why the switch back to Grant Aleksander for Warren Lockridge when you had originally changed it to Jason Brooks?

Because it dawned on me that the storyline I had planned for him was something too dramatic for Jason Brooks to play. I wanted to make Warren a bit sexier (for you guys- I think Grant Aleksander is FREAKIN HOT), but Jason wouldn't have been right for the story I have planned for the Lockridges. Warren actually has 3 storylines he's going to be involved in now, once the Lockridge storyline kicks off.

I really wanted to switch it to Robert Kelker-Kelly, because I find him to be such a sexy, soulful actor, but he doesn't look the part.

In the end, I decided that Grant really embodies everything I need in an actor to play Warren right now.

And I'm sorry the episode still isn't posted you guys. I fell asleep this afternoon and now, I've been busy setting people straight about Bridget Dobson on this board. Sorry, but I couldn't allow the members of this board to sully Bridget's name on the 20th anniversary of the death of her baby.

Don't worry, though. RTSB is still back and I'll still have 3 episodes this week, they'll just kick off tomorrow and run through the weekend.

It's like somebody up there wants this to be a slow roll. I spent the majority of yesterday walking and crying, not exactly the best way to bring back the humor, warmth, and intrigue of our beloved 'RTSB.'

I don't care if God himself strikes me with lightning today, episode(s) will be posted!!!

Anybody heard from Greg? Based on his post above this one, I'm worried. I hope he's ok.

Greg had a tough, crazy, and unusual weekend that ended with him planning exactly how his stories are going to go and exactly how he is going to get certain actors and characters to start interacting based on where the stories are going. It became pointless and painful to start this back up on the anniversary of the death of my beloved 'SB' so instead, I'm starting it on the Anniversary of the first Monday that SB didn't air, which was the 3rd Monday in January (Martin Luther King Day).

Don't worry, I have WAY too much story planned not to write it. It's kicking it off that's always the difficult part.

How are the kicking-off plans coming along?

Ack ... how much longer?!

Greg, does someone need to light a fire under you?

The fire has been lit. I just need the time to sit in front of the computer and begin writing it.

but please, LIGHT AWAY!!!!

Consider this a squirt of lighter fluid on that fire!

(claps hands with each Greg)

Greg! Greg! Greg! Greg! Greg! Greg! Greg! Greg! Greg! Greg! Greg! Greg! Greg! Greg! Greg! Greg! Greg!

Where's Greg?

Stupid life got in the stupid way. We're still a go, I just now got computer access in my new place. Stay tuned....

Glad you haven't disappeared. This doesn't seem to be the only time you've moved in the past couple years. Hope you like your new place!
