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.

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.

Catherine E. Coulson interviewed again for a Philadelphia arts site. Nothing new about 2016, but some nice anecdotes about her long history with Lynch and her other work. I didn't know Lynch came up with that tattoo on Margaret's leg that indicates her connection to the Lodges - we keep hearing little tidbits now from actors about where he stepped in late in the second season, at times when a lot of fans and critics assumed he had all but abandoned things before the very end.

    • I think the show could have easily pivoted Karen back to Jason if Jagger left and had her deal with college and the fall out from Scott being her father (even though I don't think Kin was on the show at the time lol).  I definitely think Karen had enough material for story without Jagger for a year. I could also see why they wrote her out due to the build up of the Karen/Jagger romance and the fact KMc was old enough to carry her own teen story.   Karen wasn't necessary anymore.  I do think it would have been nice for Karen to be around for Stone/Robin.  I have always found Jagger/Karen's absence fairly glaring in an otherwise near perfect story. I agree Brenda hugely benefitted from Jagger/Karen leaving.  She could get development/focus, she could be paired with Sonny without constant reminders of the Karen relationship, and it allowed Brenda to be aged up into adult stories fairly easily with her main peers not around.   I think Brenda could have lasted without Sonny.  She is another character you could easily pair up with AJ/Jason until Jason has his accident and then pair her up with Ingo once he was cast.  Since Ingo was hired for Lois/Rena I'll go with the assumption he would have been cast regardless of what Brenda was doing.  Obviously, no telling how successful she would have been, but I have no problem seeing Brenda still being a major player in 90's stories without Sonny.   Vanessa/Brenda really didn't have much competition in her age range at that time. I do see the comparison with Casey/Julia. As far as Julia, I think she got lumped in with all the other Monty failures at the time even though she seemed to have the most potential.  I have never understood the reasoning not to re-visit Julia at any length especially in the 90's.  
    • While I always take anything new this show does with a massive GOS, the fact that Zeke is in this week's promo with Drew leaves me cold to the character before he even gets going.  Must everything be tied to Sonny or Carly?  
    • A few years ago, there was a certain number of the banking and business sectors that tried to promote the idea of a “cashless” society and at first, I was willing to hear them out but upon hearing more information, I decided that it would eventually become another facet of a divide along socioeconomic lines, with the ‘haves’ benefiting and the ‘have nots’ being at a marked disadvantage. We’re already getting a taste of the repercussions of this with some establishments that have tried to deny cash payments, for example an upscale fast-casual eatery called Sweetgreen (very popular here in the Northeast U.S.) which was forced to reverse their anti-cash policy after a severe backlash once the policy became public. Well, they do say that necessity is the mother of invention and necessity, and I guess necessity can also provide the incentive to transform and refigure.
    • I love that office set and I wish we could see more of it. I forgot the verbal exchange between Lady Whistle Tits and Colin. What was the outcome? Why was she crying? Did Colin clock her over the head and stick a mini LGBTQ flag in the middle layer of her eardrum?
    • Well, we all knew this was going to happen with Sloan/Eric/Nicole/EJ. But I like this storyline. I just wish they would slow it down. You don’t rush through a storyline when it’s good, you play it for all its worth. I hope we get another twist somewhere down the line. Plus, there’s too many Dimeras on the canvas as it is. And not enough Bradys.  Speaking of Dimeras, what was this Dimitri/Kristen marriage [!@#$%^&*]??  Thank God it seems like it’ll be over and done with after just this one episode. And judging by the way those scenes ended, I hope this doesn’t mean that Peter Porte lied in the Michael Fairman interview. Plus, I see they’re screwing up the timeline again, since 39 years ago, Megan was in Salem, completely alive and devoted to Bo.  Other than that, I would much rather have seen Chloe’s first day at the Spectator rather than just hearing about it. And I would much rather have heard about Leo crying about Colin rather than seeing it. They really need to sort out their priorities on this show.
