Cast in Confusion
Although the deal has not yet been inked, don't worry too much about Maurice Benard's (Sonny) contract coming up for renewal in November. Benard says, "Things have to be worked out. There are a few things I want, and if they don't give them to me, I don't know what's going to happen. Right now, I'm in limbo, and I don't really like that. .....I'm into staying, unless something else comes along. I'm here. I'm going to be pretty reasonable, I think. We'll see." I'm sure the powers that be are going to work to retain MB after his stellar performance in the manic-depression story line that is being played out.

Jackson Nixes Permanent Return
More from the world of Lucky: The New York Daily News reported on December 10th that Jacob Young, (ex-Rick, "The Bold and the Beautiful") has been selected to replace Jonathan Jackson in the role of Lucky Spencer, but ABC is still swearing that there is no recast signed. When asked about the prospect of Jonathan Jackson returning as Lucky, his manager, Tony Monziotti, says, "Jonathan has made it known to the powers-that-be at ABC that he would be willing to come back for a short period of time." He went on to say that Jackson would be willing to reprise his role as Lucky if Rebecca Herbst (Liz) would also leave the show when her contract expires in June of 2000.
