Thanks to MyrnaLynne for typing this up and sending it in!
The WB has given us one more reason to look forward to Wednesday nights. Roswell airs at 9 p.m. following Dawson’s Creek and it’s packed with hot hunks, daring chicks and gripping story lines. If you’ve been living under a rock for the last couple of months, here’s the lowdown on the hottest new show that is truly out of this world. The Story Turns out Max is “not of this earth” and in saving Liz, he has put himself, sister Isabel (Katherine Heigl) and bud, Michael Guerin (Brendan Fehr) in serious danger. Max reveals that the trio was aboard the UFO that crashed in Roswell over fifty years ago. After they emerged from incubation pods, they were adopted by locals and lead normal lives. But, Max’s heroics have changed all that. Now Sheriff Valenti (William Sadler) is suspicious and Max has lost Isabel and Michael’s trust by spilling their secret. The rest of the cast is in shambles as well: Liz’s best friend, Maria De Luca (Majandra Delfino) is freaked out by the news and the girls don’t think their childhood friend, Alex Whitman (Colin Hanks) can handle it. Liz’s ex-boyfriend and son of the sheriff, Kyle Valenti (Nick Wechsler) has joined his father in his quest to bring down the Evans family, after suspecting Liz has feelings for Max. Which leads us to one of the best reasons to tune in - the blossoming romance between Liz and Max as a modern day Romeo and Juliet. These star-crossed lovers have one colossal problem - they are different species. Fun On The Set The stars make fun of each other, but it’s all in good spirits. Cast members imitate one another and play up each other’s mistakes - all in the name of friendly competition. Brendan gets teased a lot when his native Canadian accent slips out. Do You Believe? The cast believes that aliens may exist. “I think working on the show you really have no other choice but, you know, to kind of believe that there is a possibility,” Shiri, 20, says laughing. Real Life Jason reveals that he did a lot of soul-searching in those days, much like his character, Max. Jason also had to endure people mistaking him for a girl on the phone. Of course, that would never happen to him now. Speaking of real life - Colin Hanks is the son of superstar Tom Hanks of course. You saw the resemblance, right? But don’t expect Colin to talk up this famous relationship. He wants to be appreciated as an actor in his own right; no special favors for this guy. Sensitive Alien We can’t get enough of Roswell and we know you can’t either. Luckily, you can get a weekly dose every Wednesday night at 9 p.m. on the WB.

Wearing a thin black lycra duster, bearly {barely} hinting at her red-red gown, the large flowers towards the bottom of the dress made the formal attire fun and mysterious. |
