The fate of my favorite TV
Show this summer has been revealed. Windfall has been
cancelled.
The last episode will be aired on 8/31/06 and will tie up some loose
ends, but will not return for another season. SAD. I will miss Sean,
Nina, Peter, Beth and Cameron and the rest of the lottery winning
gang. Everyone that I've talked to that gave the show a chance and
watched it, said they liked it... so, I guess it just didn't have
enough initial viewers. Bummer -- ya'll check this one out on DVD when
it comes out. It's a good one! I think we'll see these actors in many
more things to come. You can look for them in:
Jason Gedrick:
Kings of South Beach
Jon Foster:
Tenderness
Alice Greczyn:
Shrooms
Luke Perry: The Sandlot
3 and
The
Real Catch
DJ Cotrona: Love Is the
Drug
60 minute drama premieres Thursday, June 8th, at 10/8c.
From executive producer
Laurie McCarthy (“Felicity,” “CSI: Miami”) comes “Windfall,” an
hour drama that follows 20 lottery winners after their unexpected good
fortune. Each winner's reaction is different and the overwhelming cash
windfall presents unexpected marital, ethical, legal – and even
criminal problems.
At the center is a close-knit foursome who have known each other since
college when the “wrong” spouses were in love. Luke Perry (“Beverly
Hills, 90210”) stars as Peter Schaefer, a devoted husband to Nina
(Lana Parrilla, “Boomtown”) and father of two. Parrilla finds herself
in a complicated relationship with Cameron Walsh, played by Jason
Gedrick (“Boomtown”). Sarah Wynter (“24”) plays Cameron's loving but
suspicious wife.
A relative stranger to their circle is D.J. Cotrona (“Skin”) as Sean
Mathers, who finds that winning the lottery threatens to expose a dark
secret in his past. Also, for Damien Cutler (Jon Foster, “The Door in
the Floor”), a rebellious teen, winning the cash means he is set free
from his parents -- with millions in his pocket. Alice Greczyn (“The
Dukes of Hazzard”) stars as Frankie, a 16-year old girl whose
separated parents' newfound wealth sets off a marital war.
In addition, Kimberly George (Malinda Williams, "Soul Food") is a
22-year-old single mother whose winning the lottery gives her the
opportunity to start a new life and leave the trailer park behind.
Rounding out the cast is Jaclyn DeSantis (“Road Trip”), who plays
Maggie Hernandez, a nurse who can't wait to spend her winnings.

Jessica's Thoughts:
Ok, my initial thought, to be completely honest, when seeing this show previewed is HELLO,
BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE (for guys and gals)! Then, after reading
about it and watching more previews, this is my top pick for
non-reality based summer tv viewing. Who hasn't wondered what it
would be like to win the lottery? Jason Gedrick and Luke Perry in
a show together? I would tune in just for that! I was a big
fan of 90210 in my early years and cannot wait to see Luke Perry
all grown up.... 10 years later. Other than those obvious reasons
I'll be watching, the storyline is catchy, it's new and different.
We'll be tuning in
