I got a kick out of that scene too. It looked like he was cutting the crust
off his sandwich just like a little kid might do. And then squeezing the
chocolate syrup into his milk - very cute! Anyway, it all seemed in such
stark contrast to Duberstein's powerful and in-control professional image.
I think that scene, as well as the scenes with his wife, really added some
depth to the character. And of course, Mandy's incredible acting didn't
hurt either....

That's our Man!!! I enjoyed the show and especially Mandy. His hair
was too short and his glasses too big, but he was terrific!! He looked
good in the suits & ties. I love the way he walks. They showed his
fully body and his arms are just swinging along like in the Pilot of

I found that funny - if not a little odd. Hisi wife serves him up this
ridiculous white bread sandwich with such a sense of accomplishment, only to
have his sit there and dissect the crust off. didn't she know he hated
crust? Baby, I'd cut it off for him!
The scene with the shrimp cocktail was equally strange. Did that seem like
improv to anybody else? It felt that the busboy was supposed to clear the
table, and Mandy had a whim and tossed in the line. It would be rather
strange to have scripted it that way.
LOVED the scene with Mandy laying (lieing? Lying? oh my) back on his wife's
breasts. Most of you probably don't know this, but I WAS THE BREAST
DOUBLE. Yes, it was my breasts that Mandy was lying upon. Sorry all! It
was wonderful indeed. As you may have noticed, it was a very tender
scene.......
(Mandy certainly does look better in person - do you think he was padded a
bit, or if it was just the usual camera + 10?)

OK- here goes (TV Guide)-
Its been clear for several years that Chicago Hope - the other hospital
series- has been seriously ailing. Now, rather than pull the plug, CBS
has decided on some radical surgery. The show's creator, David E.
Kelley, took time off from writing Ally McBeal and The Practice to
devise last season's ender, in which half the hospital staff was axed.
Shedding their scrubs: Peter Berg, Jayne Brook, Stacy Edwards, Christine
Lahti, Eric Stolz and Vondie Curtis-Hall, Taking up residence on the
show will be 3 new surgeons (played by Carla Gugino, Lauren Holly, and
in a rare TV turn, Barbara Hershey.) Former series star Mandy Patinkin,
who returned last May just in time for his character, Jeffrey Geiger, to
order the hospital layoffs, will be seen in about half the episodes this
season. Why come back after famously departing for personal reasons?
"David called me to say Hope was struggling" Patinkin says."When he
promised he'd be a prescence, I said yes in a heartbeat".(Kelley wrote
the season-premiere episode, which airs Sept.23rd, and may write several
more) Surviving last May's cuts: Adam Arkin, Hector Elizondo, Rocky
Carroll and Mark Harmon. " The hospital is once more a major character"
says executive producer Micheal Pressman. "The misdirection of last
season was to leave the hospital and explore personal lives. A hospital
show about breakthrough advances in medicine is ideal for (having) a
long life." Matt says; We have every right to be skeptical, but we
should also remember that this show once had some terrific qualities.
With Geiger back, perhaps lighning will strike twice. The National
Examiner mention is much shorter- it says- The long running medical
drama brings back kooky Dr. Jeffrey Geiger (Mandy Patinkin) for his
biggest ego trip yet- chairman of the board. The new season opens on
Thursday, Sept. 23rd, with a slew of new characters. Carla Gugino plays
a pediatrician-neurosurgeon who will save Dr. Geiger's adopted daughter
Alicia from a brain tumor. Lauren Holly plays a plastic surgeon with a
steady stream of ritzy clients- some of whom end up in her bedroom, say
insiders. Cupid strikes Dr. Geiger when a beautiful thoracic surgeon(
played by Barbara Hershey) joins the hospital staff. Didnt we hear she
was to play Phillip's love interest? Looks like she paid off the script
writers to me! Laurie

I think it was the collar making him look jowly. He doesnt have the longest
neck, so it looks that way in higher collars (also probably why he doesnt
like to wear shirts with collars). The glasses and the short hair all
contributed to the rounder face look--typical Washington power nerd
look--maybe thats what Duberstein looks like?

That was what was reported a couple of years ago in the press--when Geiger
was not on the show.
If Geiger is paired with Hershey, I just hope they do it right.

Laurie, thanks for posting these two articles.
I love how the whole supposed point of bringing Geiger back is to return the
focus of Hope to the hospital and away from personal concerns and then we get
the preinfo:
<>
Hum, sounds personal to me. I'm not complaining mind you. Ok, maybe I am.
I mean, how much does this little girl have to go through? She's six. Had
major heart surgery. Abandoned by mother. Adopted father blown to bits by
bad guys. Now a brain tumor. How about just a few scenes of her and Jeffrey
playing with trains or rolling around in the park or something ... maybe a
nice scene at the beach in swim suits...?

Hum, again sounds personal. Definitely works for me ;) Are we all writing
the love scenes in our minds at this moment?

Missed it...was watching some other political thing on TV at the same time.
I saw Cher in concert a couple weeks ago...a wide cross-section of fans
there and everybody loved her. She says she's not a singer, but an
entertainer....over-the-top definitely. But she laughs at herself. I could
relate to one line...she said she had to cover a 35 year long career and
she wasn't even 35 :> Carol

AHA!!! I have been wondering about this! I just got a CD called "The Main
Event" with Olivia Newton-John, Anthony Warlow, and somebody else. I was
listening to it in my car and Anthony Warlow started singing "This Is The
Moment". I almost drove the car off the road, it was so phenomenal! And I
thought who IS this guy? And then I didn't ever want to play anything else
on the whole album (I think it's his only solo). You are right, Dinny, he
has an incredible voice and I found myself thinking the same thing, that not
even Mandy could have sung that song better. (I can't believe I said that!)
And now I have been hearing radio ads for J&H (which I'm seeing this
Thursday by the way) and I heard this song so I figured out it's from J&H.
But whoever is singing it is such a pale comparison to Anthony Warlow that
I'm afraid I will be disappointed come Thursday night.
So who IS this Anthony Warlow?

Well that helps explain it. I couldn't figure out why he looked so "large"
(for lack of a better word). I saw him right after he finished filming this
in Tucson and he looked pretty much like he usually does. I guess they
should have filmed him in a black tee, black slacks, and New Balance
sneakers.

He is Australia's best kept secret. He alternates among opera, musical =

think that's his name, the guy who's going to jail) in Die Fledermaus and =
Archibald Grosvenor in Gilbert & Sullivan's Patience. He's currently =
gearing up for Papageno in Magic Flute. Aside from the concept album of =
J&H (and yes, "This Is the Moment" is from that - how about that last =
AWESOME note?) he's done 4 solo albums, a sort of Dream Cast Les Mis (not =
the one that was on PBS, though some of the same people are on it), a =
highlights album of the Australian Secret Garden (which, despite him, =
pales in comparison with the Broadway one, IMHO), the Main Event album, =
and a CD single containing his two songs from Grease (a very funny "Beauty =
School Dropout" and his encore, a pristine "My Prayer").
As you have noticed, Joanne, he has the most extraordinary voice. On one =
of his solo albums (show tunes, yum!) he sings several favorites and =
actually sounds very much like the person who originated them. On =
"Impossible Dream" he sounds like Richard Kiley, an "I Won't Send Roses" =
he sounds like Robert Preston, and on "Fate" he sounds like Alfred Drake. =
In other words he actually changes the quality of his voice. Amazing! It =
helps that he chooses some wonderful material, and has impeccable taste in =
the way he interprets it. He also has wonderful comic timing. There's a =
b--tl-g v-d-- of snippets of talk show appearances etc. that show him to =
be utterly endearing. And he can cook!
On a personal note, he's just shy of 40 and cute as a button. In '94 I =
believe he had a scary bout of lymphoma, which cost him his gorgeous =
surfer dude hair. (This is what you hear him referring to just before he =
and Olivia do the medley in tribute to dead people.) He's married and has =
a cute little girl, and it's partly because of his little family that he =
hasn['t come here and BLOWN AWAY Broadway audiences (does that sound a =
teeny bit familiar?) When the Broadway Pimpernel was in the planning =
stages, he was mentioned for the part of Percy, and he would have been =
fabulous. Aside from the vocal talents and the cuteness, he moves like a =

If you want to see and hear more of him, this is what's out there:
Solo albums:
On the Boards (show tunes)
Centre Stage (show tunes)
Midnight Dreaming (ballads)
Back in the Swing (swing and swing ballads)
Best of Act I (greatest hits)
CD Single: Beauty School Dropout/My Prayer
Shows:
The Main Event
The Secret Garden (Aus highlights)
Les Mis (it's called the International Cast or something, featuring Gary =
Morris as Valjean, Philip Quast - another goodie, who WAS in the PBS =
version - as Javert, etc. and comes in both a complete and highlights =
version)
Videos:
Die Fledermaus
Patience
The Main Event

there's also a wonderful place in Australia, Readings, that has just about =
