Live chat with Lisa
June 3, 2000

 

From Canada, where Lisa just finished filming the season 4 opener of EFC, she joined LHFC members for a private chat! We had a great turn out and there were one question folks were most interested in getting the answer to. "What is Lili Marquette's future?" Enjoy!

Numerous "Hello" from group
Lisa = Mark8

<Mark8> I'm here? I'm here!

More greetings from the group

<Mark8> Hi all...so what do we do now? Dish?

<BigCharles> Hi Lisa, can't wait for Tulsa!

<Mark8> Tulsa...who's in?

<BigCharles> Me!

<JaneFriday> Me!!! I'll be there!

<Agent_Amy> I wish I could come Lisa but I can't! =(

<Robinton> I'll be in Tulsa

<Mark8> All you Tulsa people better identify yourselves once we are there. It will be great to see some of you in person

<JaneFriday> I'll be collecting people around me, Lisa. I know what Charles looks like and you know what I look like...

<Vickie> I won't be there...I missed you when you came to Denver...was so mad...

<Vickie> yeah...I was performing in an Opera that weekend

<Vickie> I was there in spirit though.....

<Mark8> Denver was lonely...no one from the group. But thousands of others. Very fun. Met John Travolta. Made my year.

<Mark8> Vickie in an opera...well excuse me! Such a talented bunch.

<Vickie> okay....I am going to have to walk to Tulsa....so I can be there with everyone else...

<midwave> Last Week's episode had Kevin Kilner on it...have you spoken with him recently?

<midwave> of Touched By An Angel

<Mark8> Kevin brought over Chinese food a few weeks ago. He is just swell

<midwave> Lisa is personal friends with Kevin Kilner

<Vickie> yeah......what is up with that last episode?

<Agent_Amy> speaking of the finale what was up with Lili's eyes in that?

<Vickie> boy Lisa you were right about the season finale.....that one just blew me away!!!

<AntonyRWF> Lisa... the all important question.... how much will we see of you in season four?

<Agent_Amy> I have mixed feelings about the finale's storyline where Lili is concerned....

<midwave> can you tell us anything about season 4 without over-spoiling it?

<Agent_Amy> please, Lisa?

<Mark8> So we pretty much are all in agreement about the season finale?

<AntonyRWF> Some of us haven't seen it Lisa! Those of us in the UK mostly! :)

<Grant> Yes, I was just able to view it today (have been on a trip to Florida this past week) and I was stuped

<midwave> did Lili have sex with a Jaridian?

<Agent_Amy> I loved it but that storyline with Lili was something I didn't see coming!

<midwave> or she get pregnant some alien way?

<SeaJay> Interesting way to end the season. What's the story with Lili?

<Mark8> hey...I guess no spoiners then for the UK?

<Mark8> oops...spoilers

<Mark8> Obviously Daniel is not helping me out tonight

<MarieBelle> Lisa, I think this has to be a free for all. I don't think we can stand not talking to you about the finale!

<Agent_Amy> I honestly said out loud at the end of the episode "You can't end it there!"

<chickydood> Talk away Lisa

<AntonyRWF> Well, if you can avoid spoilers, that's kind of good! But I expect some!

<Vickie> that episode threw me for a loop Lisa.....so what happens now......will you be in season 4 besides the first episode?

<Mark8> OK...season 4 news....

<Vickie> we are listening....

<AntonyRWF> Don't worry Marie, I don't expect a blanket on finale talk :)

<Mark8> Just finished filming the season opener for 4

<Vickie> and??

<AntonyRWF> There betta be lots of Lili in season four....

<spike> yup, LOTS

<Vickie> I will be soooooooo upset if you aren't Lisa.....

<AntonyRWF> She betta be lead character!

<Mark8> Lets just say that if you liked the direction season 3 was going with Lili, then you will like the season opener...If you didn't like the finale then you wont like what the first episode does for poor Lili

<Agent_Amy> uh oh

<spike> ahh geez...

<midwave> uhoh

<BigCharles> Lisa, did YOU enjoy it?

<AntonyRWF> Oh oh.

<Robinton> aaaaarrrgghhh

<Agent_Amy> I don't like the sound of that

<AntonyRWF> I don't like the sound of that one.

<spike> me either

<SeaJay> That sounds ominous...

<MarieBelle> I am so upset, I don't know what to say!

<AntonyRWF> I haven't seen the finale, so now I'm more worried!

<Vickie> will you still be on the show though?

<AntonyRWF> what it "does for poor Lili" which means that it's not good news...

<SeaJay> Full season?

<Mark8> Ok, so season 4 [opener] will feature Lili very heavily....

<midwave> YAY!

<SeaJay> Great!!!

<AntonyRWF> Good good!

<Moon> good

<Mark8> in the first episode ONLY

<SeaJay> oh....

<AntonyRWF> Whaaaa....

<Agent_Amy> WHAT?!!!

<Grant> Erggg..... :)

<midwave> oh..

<AntonyRWF> *sobs*

<chickydood> so what does that mean?

<wizelf> Lisa, greetings from a big fan from Mexico. We don't get to watch all of the shows unless it's in satellite, but you have very strong following!

* midwave doesnt like the sound of that

<chickydood> :(

<Grant> So is it safe to assume that Lili will not be making it... possibly sacrificing her life to save Da'an?

<BigCharles> Lisa, you are so ......

<BigCharles> .... dramatic! ;)

<Mark8> I'm an actress...being dramatic is my job

<Vickie> LOL.....

<Robinton> but you do your job better than so many others

<loretta652> What about the Auger character?

<Vickie> so does this mean that Leni won't be on the show next season?

<Mark8> I'm sure its also no secret that Richard (Augur) will not be back either

<Mark8> as for Leni...

<Agent_Amy> will we ever see Lili and Augur reunited?

<midwave> I might just quit watching the show...cause they are killing off the original cast it seems

<Agent_Amy> I am REALLY getting discouraged!

<Mark8> I'm being dramatic again...

<Vickie> oh wow.....what are the producers thinking over there?

<SeaJay> Please be dramatically....revealing :) :)

<Mark8> OK...down to buisness

<Susan> Lisa, many of Lili's fans are very upset by this pregnancy and think that the EFC writers want to use women as breeding stock.

<loretta652> If you think about it, the finale can be taken either more Lili or less.

<BigCharles> Louder friend!

<AntonyRWF> Season three has been my least favorite so far.

<loretta652> Of course, we want more!

<Mark8> The producers only offered me the first episode and very strongly indicated to me that it would be the last.

<AntonyRWF> Noooooooooooo.

<Vickie> WHAT

<midwave> new name for E:FC....Earth:Kill`Em`All? it seems that way

<spike> what a load...

<AntonyRWF> Earth: Final Castchange!

<chickydood> So sorry.

<midwave> thats rotten

<Grant> Erg Lisa, that's sad to hear

<Agent_Amy> IT'S OFFICIAL!!! THEY ARE IDIOTS!!!!

<Mark8> VERY funny, midwave!!

<Vickie> NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

<BigCharles> Enogh:Flaming Corpses

<Agent_Amy> well I may not watch EFC S4 past the first episode

<Vickie> Nooooooooowwwwwwww I am mad!!!

<AntonyRWF> They just want to wipe out all the characters, and replace them with non-feeling, super heroes. It sucks!

<AntonyRWF> Amy - I'm with you on that one! Boycot.

<loretta652> Don't you think it would make more dramtic sense to have the mother of the hybrid alive?

<Mark8> Da'an is also going to be very limited this year from what I gather, so Sandy is the only full time original cast member.

<SeaJay> Why did they decide to not have Lili appear past the first ep?

<loretta652> It's Earth's connection to this whole thing.

<Susan> Lisa, did the producers say why?

<Agent_Amy> oh man

<Agent_Amy> I am fixing to quit watching

<Vickie> well...EFC may not be around much longer....they have killed off alot of the people that help make it the show that it is

<Susan> I just don't understand it. Lili is one of the few characters everyone likes.

<AntonyRWF> Liam.... 10 a penny. He could be in any show! But a multi-layered character like Lili, let's kill her!!

<Vickie> this SUCKS

<Mark8> Well, they had to move on story wise, and the new direction does not include Lili

<BigCharles> Rats!!!

<Vickie> *hangs head down*

<SeaJay> :-(

<AntonyRWF> No, the new direction is down the toilet...

<chickydood> The producers are bozos

<JaneFriday> It doesn't seem to include much of anyone...

<Grant> Well, if only we could tell them that that's not an option...

<Vickie> well....I don't know if I will still watch....hey...does this mean that Anita won't be on either?

<Mark8> They did offer to have back as the occasional guest star, but I was not interested in that, for obvious reasons.

<Agent_Amy> well EFC isn't going to be remembered as a great sci-fi show....instead folks will remember is as WHAT NOT TO DO WITH A SERIES!

<spike> i really got into EFC cause of LILI.......well i think 'Highlander' is on SCIFI now... :-)

<midwave> agreed Amy

<AntonyRWF> Lisa, main thing... how do you feel about being written out?

<JaneFriday> Any thoughts on what you'll do now that you seem to be through with EFC, Lisa?

<BigCharles> So, Lisa, are you free to look at other venues now?

<Mark8> I'm actually OK with being let go

<midwave> are you going to devote all you time to Sofia then?

<Vickie> does this mean you can spend more time with Sofia?

<AntonyRWF> Glad you're okay with it Lisa... we're all behind you!

<spike> yes, glad you OK with it.

<Robinton> so, If you aren't going to be in EFC, are you looking at anything else, besides motherhood of course.

<Agent_Amy> yep, we're behind you Lisa

<Moon> lisa i've been a fan of yours for over 10 years and I'm behind you all the way

<BigCharles> Lisa, we support you

<loretta652> There was such potential in the Lili character. What a waste.

<Ulkesh> Lisa, so where are the writers taking the show now that you're gone?

<Susan> Are you going to be in First Wave? I was hoping the producers might hire you husband to write for EFC, but it won't happen now.

<Mark8> The show has gone in a new direction (season finale and episode on of 4 are perfect examples). And the new direction is very exciting and well produced, but it is NOT the show I signed on for 4 seasons ago. I really agree with the producers that Lili has no place in this new Earth.

<Grant> Well it's great you stand behind your decision, and it makes me feel good that you're very confident sounding about this

<JaneFriday> Whatever you decide is fine with us.

<AntonyRWF> I don't call this a new direction, I call this rewriting it! A new show basically.

<Vickie> I just never expected the show to turn in that way... I mean after season one I was so excited about the show and all of the leads that it could go.....

<AussieLee> Guess who has finally seen the season one episodes

<MarieBelle> Lisa, EFC has finally arrived in Australia

<AussieLee> Via cable TV, for which we employ friends to tape...

<Mark8> Season one in Australia

<AussieLee> Lisa, did the hair style change form ep1 to ep2?

<MarieBelle> Yes Lee, about the hair :-)

<midwave> how's Sofia doing?

<Vickie> yeah..how is motherhood treating you?

<Vickie> she must be getting bigger and bigger each day.....

<Mark8> Hey..I'm jammed up...gonna sign off and try again

<midwave> ok

<Vickie> oh noooooooo.......

<BigCharles> OK, we'll be right here

<Agent_Amy> ok

<Vickie> jammed is not good

<Agent_Amy> we'll be here

<spike> jammed??

<Vickie> will be here...

<AussieLee> bounce back

<AntonyRWF> We'll be here.... rioting.

<BigCharles> That web interface can get overloaded

<Mark8> Test

<AussieLee> 2, 3,

<AntonyRWF> This has destroyed whatever faith I had left in the show.

<Mark8> OK all's well

<Moon> good

<JaneFriday> You seem to be coming thru okay.

<AntonyRWF> Lisa, do you know the fate of Anita la Selva and Zo'or?

<Mark8> Anita will also be very limited too from what I gather

<AntonyRWF> More bad news :(

<Vickie> HEY.....TELL US ABOUT SOFIA

<Vickie> when are we going to see pictures of her on the site?.......

<BigCharles> Lisa, are you sticking by you plan to keep Sofia out of the public eye?

<Vickie> awwwwwwww....if that's the case I guess we won't be seeing any pictures of her on the site...

<midwave> honestly...I watched E:FC at first cause it had Gene Roddenberry's name on it , then I got hooked cause the cast was superb

<Agent_Amy> Paul, it was the same for me

<Susan> I'm confused if there's no Lili and a lot less Augur, Da'an & Zo'or there's only Renee and Liam left as full time cast members. They are the two most disliked members of the cast.

<Vickie> so tell us about sofia....

<JaneFriday> Yes, is Sofia walking yet?

<Agent_Amy> yeah....how's Sofia?

<Mark8> My producers have been so generous to me. Earth has been a wonderful experience and they were so accommodating with my pregnancy and my desire to take time with Sofia. I don't think I could have handled a full season of anything this year anyway. I'm enjoying the mom thing so very much! Sofia just started walking this week!

<Moon> cool!

<loretta652> It's too bad the producers were so nice to you and then your character got written out.

<Vickie> oh wow...has she gotten the balance thing down okay?....

<JaneFriday> I bet she's into everything now.

Vickie> wow....she is walking now.....gosh..time flies by so fast....

<Robinton> Now the real work begins, now that she walks----she runs

<midwave> Lisa...do you want to be in my movie ...oh ... in about 10 years if i ever finish it?

<Mark8> 10 years midwave? I think I'll be ready to go back to work by then

<MarieBelle> Lisa, when Sofia is 11, that's when she needs you more. :-)

<JaneFriday> That's true, Marie.

<BigCharles> So now you COULd get into standup, right?

<Vickie> hhhhhheeeeeeeeyyyyyy....what about getting back into some musicals Lisa?

<Agent_Amy> I love Von but I don't know if I can't handle more Liam and Renee

<Susan> Yes, you're right. I think Von is an incredible actor and Sandoval is a great character.

<Mark8> Von will be working alot this year

<Mark8> He is a remarkable actor, I agree

<Agent_Amy> He's one of my faves but I'm not sure that even he's enough to keep me watching

<Mark8> I finally got a chance to work with Jayne. She is fantastic!

<AussieLee> Left field ? What is Michael Weiss doing now Pretender is finished (is it?)

<chickydood> The Pretender still has a chance to be picked up by TNT

<Ulkesh> Not TNT!!

<chickydood> Better TNT than not at all

<Ulkesh> You know what they did to B5 and Crusade

<chickydood> TNT and FOX are in negotiations

<Agent_Amy> TNT has a way of butchering shows

<JaneFriday> Agreed. Tell Michael we're crossing our fingers for him.

<chickydood> Well, NBC ignored the fans and cancelled, so right now I like TNT

<Mark8> I can tell you that Michael is definitely done with Pretender. It was a great show and he loved it alot, but I doubt very much that it will go on another network.

<chickydood> Would Michael refuse to work on another network?

<chickydood> Lisa, did Michael say he wouldn't do Pretender on another Network?

<Mark8> No, Michael did not say that he wouldn't do it. However, he is proceeding with his life as though it is over until he hears otherwise

<JaneFriday> Well, I hate the way they ended Pretender on that cliffhanger for the season. The least they could do is a TV movie to end it.

<chickydood> Well, I'm not giving up on The Pretender until I hear the final decision between FOX and TNT Marie. TNT is very enthusiastic about it.

<AntonyRWF> Everyone. Positive vibes time! Our favorite actress here is getting out of the show we are starting to hate! That's something good. She left when it was good...

<AntonyRWF> I think Lisa left the Titanic early, which is good! :) IMHO of course.

<Ulkesh> Lisa, will Augur and Lili reunite one last time in the season opener?

<Agent_Amy> Yeah I think it's good that you're off EFC now...

<Mark8> No more Lili Augur ever. That really made me sad. I would have loved a last scene with him.

<Agent_Amy> I'll really miss seeing you and Richard Chevolleau together, Lisa! You two had MAGIC together!

<Ulkesh> That sucks

<Agent_Amy> I'm ready to cry now!

<AntonyRWF> I am really upset about all this. :'-(

<SeaJay> Very sad to hear that! :-(

<midwave> we all are...

<loretta652> Too bad no Lili and Auger. Another dramatic opportunity missed!

<Susan> Agent Amy, I agree. Augur and Lili had magic and so did Da'an and Lili in WOA.

<AntonyRWF> We've lost Boone and Lili... they were EFC to me.

<JaneFriday> Is Daniel still working on his new show, Lisa? How's it coming?

<Mark8> Daniel is working on Charmed for the WB

<Agent_Amy> interesting....

<JaneFriday> Really? When did he start working on that?

<loretta652> Charmed is a great show.

<Vickie> wow I didn't know that.....

<Mark8> He just started last week

<Vickie> I have never really watched....probably cause I am never home...

<Robinton> Really, I like that show but can't get it on sattilite, so my brother tapes it for me

<midwave> I dont get WB

<BigCharles> so there IS hope for that show!

<midwave> what's the show about?

<loretta652> Charmed has merchandising!

<loretta652> What's Daniel's last name, so we can spot him in the Charmed credits?

<spike> Charmed is pretty cool

<JaneFriday> Loretta, Daniel goes by Daniel Howard Cerone.

<BigCharles> Lisa, are you bringing Daniel to Tulsa?

<Robinton> Yes, is there any chance to maybe meet the rest of your family at Tulsa?

<Mark8> Daniel will stay at home with Sofia in LA...flying with a toddler is no fun. I'm [and Sofia] in Canada with my parents right now, and I have to fly back to LA tomorrow. I'm dreading it!

<Vickie> yeah but think about Lisa...you get to be with Sofia and Daniel again....that should make it a little easier

<midwave> I'm curious Lisa....are the new producers/writers the ones that used to do Nightman?

<midwave> thats where Jane Heitmayer was on before EFC

<midwave> she was the redheaded cop

<Mark8> Tribune used to do Nightman and Tribune has always done Earth

<Agent_Amy> I know and that show was SO CHEESY!

<Agent_Amy> not to mention terribly wrtten

<Vickie> Nightman was pretty bad....LOL

<midwave> Lisa..ever think of doing cartoon voiceovers?

<Mark8> Id love to do voiceovers, midwave...did you know that Michael Weiss is the voice of Tarzan for the new weekly cartoon for Disney

<midwave> COOL

<JaneFriday> I'm going to have to listen to Tarzan...

<midwave> my cable company gives us Disney for free...but no WB..and its Time Warner Cable

<loretta652> Never did get my Lili action figure :-(

<Mark8> I didnt get any Lili action figure!

<JaneFriday> They didn't make action figures for EFC, did they?

<loretta652> And no more shuttle shuffle!

<Mark8> No merchandise at all it seems

<midwave> bad merchandising for EFC

<Vickie> I would have bought them....

<Agent_Amy> I got the EFC soundtrack and two novels

<Moon> that made me mad about Now and Again

<Mark8> what happened to Now and Again

<Moon> it was cancelled after only one season

<Susan> I might be wrong, but I read that they weren't bringing it back this fall.

<AntonyRWF> Lisa, I have to go. It's almost 4am in the UK... I'm tired. I'm devastated that you won't be back... it's killed my faith in EFC, faith that's been diminishing rapidly this past year. But, I wish you all the very best in whatever you do! *hugs*

<Mark8> Thanks Anthony I have to go too...very early mornings with Sofia

<Mark8> Any last ??

<Vickie> oh no Lisa...

<midwave> yea

<Vickie> you can't gooooo

<midwave> Lisa...any plans for a convention in the Cleveland/Pittsburgh area?

<Vickie> Lisa...when are you coming back to Denver?

<loretta652> Do let us know what you're up too.

<BigCharles> See you in Tulsa

<JaneFriday> Looking forward to seeing you in Tulsa, Lisa. I have a surprise to give you.

<Vickie> So what are your future plans?

<Robinton> Lisa, thanks for talking to us, not all the news was good but glad to talk to you.....

<loretta652> Don't give up going to cons, we love seeing you.

<Agent_Amy> Thanks for the truth Lisa though I'd sad to hear it

<Mark8> I only have a Tulsa date planned. And a cruise from Florida in Feb 2001. If you want to see me in a con near you, then contact them and ask. You never know

<midwave> just hope Sofia doesnt get like me when i was younger...they had to harness me to the porch so i wouldnt run away

<Mark8> Sofia is all over the place. She keeps me so busy!

<loretta652> Sofia must be a beauty if she has her mother's eyes...

<AussieLee> good for the figure
