News Round-up: Brett Larson, T.R. Knight, Cat Fit

Fox reporter Brett Larson in ALL MY CHILDREN
From reporter to maitre'd,' Fox 5 News Tech Reporter Brett Larson landed a walk-on role in ALL MY CHILDREN. Brett escorts actress Susan Lucci to her seat. But the normally one-take-wonder, needed to give it a second go.


More Damn Fine Coffee and Cherry Pie?
Kyle MacLachlan is interested in bringing back TWIN PEAKS as five-minute webisodes.

ATWT head writer Jean Passanante on the lack of cliffhangers and the new storytelling on the show
"There are certainly cliffhangers within every episode, so there aren't fewer cliffhangers. A show may end with the sense that something's resolved, but there's always a sense that there's something left to be resolved." Check out the July 6 issue of CBS Soaps in Depth for more.
