Okay, Kristen, thanks - I bow to your knowledge of what was officially released and what wasn't. I can never remember where I read stuff.

Does this mean the third wasn't yet official? I didn't read your whitefont.

The squeeze already happened though. I want to unsqueeze.

Katie - I am going to do this without the benefit of whitefont, and edit out specifics. If you don't get your answers from my statements, let me know. I'm just scared to death I'll fuck up the white font and spoil someone more.

For instance, will it be allowable to say that Performer X is joining as Character Y?

I'm not the queen unfortunately, but I can't see hiding the characters name, if we allow the actors name to be discussed in the Angel thread. Usually, I think the WB's cast page lists the actor and his or her character name.

Will it be okay to say that there was a possibility floated that [you know what goes here]?

NO. According to the terms of the proposal, we cannot discuss recurrings and guests, only regular contracted actors status (as in are they added to the show, or taken off contract).

No we're not talking about changing board policy. We're talking about modifying the written FAQ, so that when it answers the question as to what is a spoiler, it acknowledges what we always have in practice, namely that we talk about contracted regulars over the summer, and casting news that applies to them.

Okay. I disagree. I think that modifying the written FAQ is changing board policy.

Does this mean the third wasn't yet official?

The third cast change was official and announced at the WB upfront. Katie's third question was based on something Tim said in an interview regarding said cast change.

And an apology: I know it now kind of sucks to know "three" instead of "two." I didn't see any other way to make sure people who didn't want to know stayed out, you know?

No apology needed, Katie. Other people have indicated that there were more - hell, you might not even know all of them. I think it's just important that everyone is aware of how much information will be discussed under the proposal.

Guys, one show ending and in some or whatever way being incorporated into the other show is huge and spoiley in an unprecedented fashion.

Thanks Kristen. Info from interviews is still considered verbotten, right?

No apology necessary, Katie.

It makes me more likely, however, to leave NAFDA (including ::gulp:: Bitches) if we can't work something out.

Info from interviews is still considered verbotten, right?

I think so. I wouldn't have previously thought that but Jeff Bell schooled me otherwise.
