After having attended the Question & Answer session that Steven (Cass) gave
last night I figured I'd better write this before I forget everything 
that happened.  (Of course after I got there I had the bright idea to
bring my microcassette recorder).

I'll start out with the things that Steven "let slip".  Some of this can
be considered spoilers so I warn you now.


Lucas's murderer:  Steven said he didn't know and that it is one of the best
kept secrets of the producers.  He did say it was unusual as they (the cast)
usually know everything.  (speculation:  the shows are taped two weeks in
advance and if Steven didn't know then maybe we won't find out for at least
two weeks)

Lucas:  Steven said he was welcome to come back if he wanted.  (Now how??
dream sequence or as a twin??)

Jenna's father:  Will probably be revealed but not for a very long way.
"We know it is not Carl now that Carl turned out to be Ryan's father"
(that's as near as I can remember to the exact wording he used)

Carl:  Will be returning (Yes!!)

Byron:  Will be leaving (but then we all knew that).  Regarding his legs
he has semi-mobility in them.

Dean's career:  Will probably be getting it back on track sometime in the    
future.

Ada:  The actress just had back surgery and is doing well.

Dack Rambo:  Is alive and doing well.

Nicole Love: The actress is in CA, married and divorced.

Frankie and Cass:  Will be getting a more prominent story line in the next
month or two.  Something involving someone from Frankie's past.

I've probably forgotten some other tidbit he mentioned and if I remember
I'll post it.

For general comments Steven was quite personable and enjoyable.  He was
twenty minutes late (thank you Winnipeg traffic!!  if someone could only
design intersections with less than six streets) and stayed for about 40
minutes doing Q & A.  Then he signed autographs (at which time I left).
He was quite willing to answer all questions from regarding the show to
his own personal life (regarding his wife, age (44), weight (180), height
(6ft)).  There was a crowd of about 200 people or so.  Mostly women (and
the men they dragged there) from the tenny bopper age to the 40s (and
some people older).  He mentioned that for the AW time slot in Canada
(I think he said Canada but it might have been Manitoba) AW captures
75% of the audience (alright Canada).

He said that he was the juggernaut of the AW cast tour of Canada with
Jake to come.  He also mentioned that Dean, Jenna, Frankie, and Ryan
may also be coming.  He mentioned Feb as the date.

One lucky girl got to sit on the table with Steven for the better part
of the Q&A session (and even received a kiss).  Of course she was about
8 yrs old or younger (I'm terrible at judging ages).

And for those of you unaware the tour is part of the contest that Zellers
(Canadian department store) put on with the winner attending a taping
of AW in New York.  So look for more AW cast members at a Zellers near
you.
