Hi, everybody.
Still having fun. We have a new daughter. Stephanie Kay Johnson is being portrayed by Shayna Rose, a beautiful young lady with long wavy strawberry blonde hair…or is it red? She is a quick study and always shows up prepared. We met for the first time last week and it went very well. I hope you all enjoy our strange little family, struggling to get its bearings with a Papa who remembers no one and a Mama who resents her daughter’s choice of profession.
This past Friday, Ken Corday invited all cast and crew to have lunch and hear the good news about the show being renewed and about the new head writer — five-time Emmy winner, Hogan Sheffer. Our old friend Beth Millstein will be acting as interim Head Writer and will stay on staff when Sheffer arrives in July. We are hopeful that a new energy and commitment will blossom at DOOL. At the luncheon, Ken asked Bryan Dattilo to do impressions of some of the actors. He did a very funny Billy Warlock (while Billy stood and studied this confusing portrayal). He was a good sport. Datillo refused to do Drake and Peter. He said he couldn’t do Peter without some biking shorts.
I saw Deidre for the first time since I’ve been back. I told her I hoped she would be my therapist when she comes back. She said she hoped so, too. Wait, is she a psychiatrist?
All in all, it was a nice vibe in the room.
Love,
The Patchman
