Q: Is there any chance of NBC or any other network picking up the "Dracula" series?

A: No. The quite odd portrayal of the vampire (played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers) ended after a single season in 2013-14.

Future of 'Fargo'

Q: I never saw the series "Fargo" when it was running on TV. But I happened to sit down when the whole series was being shown. I got all the way up to the last and final episode when my TV quit! Will it be on TV again?

A: I do not know of any current telecasts of the TV series "Fargo," which was derived from the Coen brothers movie of the same name. I don't even see it On Demand. The first season's cast included Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman. That first season is now on DVD, Blu-ray, Amazon Instant and iTunes. A second season has been ordered, although it will have a significantly different cast.

Ridge drops off

Q: The original character Ridge from "The Bold and the Beautiful" has been gone quite a while from the soap. What happened to him?

A: RoNN (as he now spells it on his website) Moss left the show in 2012 after playing Ridge Forrester for 25 years. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he said, "I felt that I needed to go in this new direction to give myself the chance to do all the creative things that I haven't had a chance to do in 25 years, because I've dedicated so much of my life to this."

Since then, he has played music (he's a member of Player of "Baby Come Back" fame), appeared on "Celebrity Wife Swap" with his wife, Devin Devasquez, and with her marketed a product called Devin's Kickass Cajun Seasoning. You can read more about him at www.ronnmoss.com.
