With a howl, the werewolf comes out of his den!Let me see if I understand this.
Seinfeld is funny. Sophie and Laura are bland. Next, I'll be told the floor is
the ceiling and I've been upside down all my life. I don't think they are
boring, especially the way I write them. But then, that's just my own opinion.

Kelda's not a strong actress in terms of ability or stage presence, but she was
the right person for the part. Julia Sawalha could never have played
Sarah--Sarah's character has a lot of insecurities and nervousness to her, and
Kelda brings that out brilliantly in stories like BOTH SIDES OF THE PAPER, LOVE
AND THE JUNIOR GAZETTE, and DEADLINE. Now if only we could teach her a thing or
two about hair....
Kevin, a big Sarah Jackson fan even on a bad hair day.
