It was a magical time for all of them. They all deeply trusted in Lynch and Frost and, I think, still do, particularly the ones who still have close relationships with Lynch, who is so caring and gentle with people and actors. Brad Dukes' book, Reflections, the oral history, is a great read about that. I am almost positive Julee Cruise is back. She can be volatile (she may or may not have turned up drunk at a Twin Peaks fest in the UK a few years back and ranted about Angelo Badalamenti), but she has been nothing but gushing about the show and Lynch in both the new book and recent interviews. Lynch produced two of her albums, wrote most of her songs for the show and around that period. She talked a year or two ago about working with Lynch and Badalamenti soon. I would be shocked if she didn't do something new for the new show. -

What part of being raped face-down is "forthright"?

I will admit that Janice Dickinson is not always the most reliable source on Earth, but IIRC she talked about this incident once before, years ago, in her book. And I don't see anything in the above account that says the job offer was about The Cosby Show. In fact, she did write about it. For the record, in this account she rebuffs him.

I think the Woody Allen and Polanski issues are very complicated and I'm not even going to begin to get into that. (Chit knows where I stand on the former.) I think their behavior was reprehensible. But I respect their work. It's the same here, but only to a point - I'll always treasure my childhood memories of him, but with Cosby I think there are a lot more layers and undercurrents. Part of it is the sheer volume of multiple accusers, of a long pattern of abuses; I first heard about this sometime in the '90s, but I know it goes way back. Then it would pop up again and again over the years, and there were vague unsourced rumors about his conduct with Lisa Bonet, etc. You didn't want to believe it, really, he was America's Dad.
-
These allegations are not new; they've been around decades. We were just able to avoid or dismiss them for a long time. I know I wanted to. But when I first heard them - and some of the rumblings about Lisa Bonet - I also wondered. I doubt this will put a serious dent in him, but he is forever tarnished now, not unlike Roman Polanski or Woody Allen. (Though I would argue his brand is potentially more damaged.) I do think he has done great, great things, and I think it's very sad. But I can't pity him - I pity the rest of us, and the alleged victims, more.

Bill Cosby is a TV and comedy legend, and over the decades he has used his show and his media platform to do great things for the entertainment landscape. He is also most likely everything he is being accused of, IMO. Tragic, but there we are.
-
And it's time for yet another interview with Peter Capaldi, this one on the radio. He seems to indicate he would like to be around quite a while (at approximately 6:05).
-
I think Michael Malone had also been aching to do Blair again. He apparently took a firm creative hand in the obviously very iffy recasting, though it did work out in the long run - I think it was his idea to finally get his "Scarlett O'Hara" version of Blair. I have no idea what went down with Mia Korf. Maybe she just quit. Susan Diol later subbed for Jill Farren Phelps Nancy Lee Grahn during the Sonny/Alexis courtship on GH in, I think, early 2002.

Peter Capaldi discusses the show's choice to break from the tone of the past era, including eliminating some 'weepy' scenes. He is also keen on the Doctor meeting Martin Luther King and says he does not want to regenerate for a while. Jenna Coleman is still an unknown for Series 9. Many speculate she is out at Christmas, but I am not yet convinced.

I'm pretty sure that is a all-new character (and I'm not sure that's Ramsay, either). The only existing GOT characters I can see for sure are Cersei, Tyrion and Margaery. The game follows House Forrester in the North from late Season 3 to the end of Season 4, and you play five characters from that House, from in the family as well I think the ranks of the House. I think most of the characters pictured there are original and probably several are player characters. My cautious assumption is that the woman in question is one of the ladies of the family. At least one portion of the game's story apparently has a visit to King's Landing, so presumably that's where the Lannisters are seen.
-
Images from Telltale's GOT adventure game have leaked. It looks as though the Lannisters and the Tyrells will make an appearance; as usual, Cersei looks unhappy. I do wonder if the actors will be voicing these. Steven Yeun didn't do Glenn in Season 1 of their Walking Dead game, though both games are official tie-ins. OTOH, Telltale's TWD game is not canon to the TV show and is more in line with the comics' continuity (though very different in tone), while the GOT game seems at least semi-canon and adhering to the show and not the books.

I think Mädchen and Peggy Lipton (and Ray Wise) are as confirmed as the still supposedly "unconfirmed" get, along with maybe Kimmy Robertson and her hilarious quote in Vulture last month. That sounds pretty good for Sherilyn Fenn. I'm glad. In fairness, it is nine episodes and TP always had a broad scope and brush with the massive town - we'd get people for maybe one or two scenes in many old episodes. While some like Cooper, etc. may be the majors, I'm sure they'll use the supporting players briskly but well.
-
I need more confirmation on Sherilyn, myself, but it sounds good if vague at the moment. I would like to have Everett and Harry Goaz confirmed, though I expect they will be there. I think we only officially have the three from this weekend plus Richard Beymer and Catherine Coulson confirmed. We know about others but very few of them have come out and said definitively 'yeah, I am.' Peggy Lipton and Mädchen Amick basically have, as has Kimmy Robertson IMO. Michael Ontkean, we have Michael Horse's word and that's it. It makes you wonder where the hell there is going to be room for a new cast, unless some of these people are relegated to cameos or subplots. Which is fine and expected, but I just don't know what they're going to do. I need something! Gah. I would be shocked if Warren Frost wasn't making an appearance, if he wants to. He's up there in years and retired, I believe. But he is also Mark Frost's father.

I do wonder what's going on there, I don't know how much of an online presence she has these days. I'm a little surprised no one's leaked anything out from her. I have to believe she'll be there unless she's in rough shape again. I know Lynch has been a good friend to her in recent years. It also makes zero sense for her not to be there, really, if Richard Beymer is. Actually, I am seeing some twitter talk from the fest right now claiming she is at least being 'teased'. Step up your stalker game, alexisfan, all I did was search 'Sherilyn Fenn'!
-
I am happy to hear it. With Lynch having had a heavy hand in much of the Bobby/Briggs family stuff in the second season (including the first two episodes and the finale, where none of the material at the diner with Bobby, Shelly, Betty and the Major and Sarah Palmer was in the original script), I wouldn't be surprised if Bobby has followed in his father's footsteps in the military. Did I really originally write 'foodsteps'? Jesus Christ.

ES spoke often about wondering why the show never explored Viki and Bo; I think she just loved working with RSW. She would push for it from time to time in the wilderness years for those characters in the early-mid 2000s, and they would give them the little stuff with Niki, etc. I always found it stupid, myself. Viki and Charlie's Thanksgiving reunion in 2008 was one of their most beautiful moments. Especially these wonderful, heartbreaking and ultimately very cathartic and hopeful scenes in the Lord mausoleum, probably some of Ron Carlivati and his team's best work. After Victor Jr. and Jessica's meltdowns with his re-rape of Marty and Tess's DID mania, Viki falls apart and tells Charlie all the world will ever remember about her is what her father did to her when she was a little girl, when he "ended my life." Charlie disagrees. I loved this couple and I will never forget these scenes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lLniJXuXTM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYO0QlpFoOk

I'm sure everyone involved will get inundated with more press the closer things get to the return. And Laura is rather a centerpiece. I've never gotten a sense in these last few years that SL is as struggling or destitute as that article made out - she stays busy and seems very together - which is why it rang false to me. Sherilyn Fenn, OTOH, has been very vocal about her struggles and how David Lynch has helped her through them. I love Bobby, I do, but I hope you don't let yourself get too down if he's not involved. It's Twin Peaks! It's coming back! With so many people! Peggy and Mädchen were roleplaying as Norma and Shelly again on Twitter the other night. On a side note, I stumbled across another of Robert Engels' many interviews the other day - one from 2010 where he claims part of the solution for the Coop-doppelganger cliffhanger had there been a Season 3 was the idea that the doppelgangers were always "two minutes or hours behind us in time", and that saving the real Coop would involve traveling back two minutes (or hours) somehow to find him. He also suggested that Audrey, etc. surviving the bank explosion may have also involved the Lodge doppelgangers, specifically Audrey's. Says Harley Peyton had the idea of having her pregnant in Season 3, which Billy Zane mentions in Reflections but Sherilyn Fenn was apparently not privy to. Clearly nothing was set in stone.
