** "Roy lashed out very angrily at the third-season critics, especially the Michigan group and the person who sent a bunch of dead, black roses to Witt Thomas in protest of the death of romance."
** "Probably the most newsworthy thing was Roy Dotrice telling us that he, Ron, Linda, and Jay got together for dinner Roy sat across from Linda, who was breast-feeding Dalton, so Roy said he was "paying a lot of attention to Dalton""
** "Jay told us about an episode he called "Roy Gets a Girlfriend". It must have been one of the ones that were not aired. He said an old girlfriend comes Below to visit Father and then they spend four days at the Plaza Hotel. Someone asked what he thought of Ron Perlman, but he said that he had never worked with Ron. They never had any scenes together and he wasn't in the episode Ron directed. He mentioned that the car explosion (in "Though Lovers Be Lost...") used more than twice as much explosive as typical TV car explosions. His stunt double was knocked down and even he felt the concussion 100 yards away."
** "Another interesting bit of news is that Elliot Burch isn't dead. The story line that was intended was for him to SEEM to have been killed but then come back, minus all his money, and decide to be Stan Kazmarek (sic) again."
