News Round-up: Laura Wright, DH Casting, RIP KYLE

INTERVIEW: GH's Laura Wright (Carly)
"My dream storyline is to do an ALIAS type storyline, where Carly gets to change clothes, kick guys in the face and karate chop them, and then she does it with Jax as a partner. Ingo would look so good in a tuxedo. He would do it in a James Bond version and we could go undercover and be like HART TO HART. We would be really funny at it, too. I don’t know how well that works with GENERAL HOSPITAL, but maybe we have our own spin-off!"

  1. Thank you for calling attention to this most-awesome of shows – namely Kyle XY. As a very avid fan, I am of course saddened at the cancelation, but am hoping that some network (if not ABC or ABC Family) will bring it back.
    As fans, we can all do our part. Write letters, send post cards, send Sour Patch Kids, sign petitions, do whatever it takes (within reason and common courtesy) to get Kyle XY back on the air! Those interested should check out kylexy dot net. We’re organizing and doing what we can to spread the word. And the word is –
    Save The Tub! Move The Tub!
    Keep Kyle XY!

  2. Kyle XY is a prime example of the old adage, “only the good die young.” After three short seasons, we as fans are left begging for more… more of a show that was our bright spot on Monday nights.
    We Kyle XY fans are a loyal group. As a member of KyleXY dot net, I’m doing what I can to help resurrect this show. You can join in the fight as well. The more of us that speak out for Kyle XY, the easier it is for the networks to hear us!

  3. To the author of this article I am a fan of Kyle XY and it would be truly appreciated if you could write a column about our continued campaign efforts. Fans of Kyle XY are deeply disappointed by the ending of the show and after following the show loyally for three seasons we are hoping for a proper conclusion. The campaign for Kyle XY is still going on and will continue until we have a proper ending to the mystery. Many fans from around the world have banded together under this common cause, 25,000 people alone have signed an online petition.

    Thank for considering my request because the only way for our message to get heard is if columnists like yourself will shed light on the campaign.

  4. I am here to ask you to mention that there is still a campaign to save Kyle XY going on at kylexy.net. The fans of Kyle XY believe that there is still hope for this series if we can get people like you to shed light on our efforts. We feel that we can achieve a true continuation of our show like the fans of Jericho and Firefly did. I ask you to please mention that this campaign is going on and we will not give up.

  6. Kyle XY is really a great show, it should be renewed for a 4th season. And fans deserve a better ending. No matter how long it will take, we'll do our best to get the Save Kyle XY campaign successful.

  7. There are alot of shows that dont make it past 2 or 3 seasons in the TV world for whatever reasons, but Kyle XY shouldn't had been one of em. This show didn't have ta end the way it did, ABCfamily can say that the ratings started going down til they turn blue in the face, but if the ratings were going down then why has there been such a huge effort ta bring the show back, y has there been toousands and thousands of people signing pettion after pettion. I really cant answer Y ABCfamily canceled this wonderful show, but I can say that it wasn't because of the ratings and if it was then all the people who work for ABCfamily need ta have their heads examined. I'm not ready ta let ABCfamily take this wonderful show away from us, I'm gana fight until I cant fight no more ta bring this show back.
