Cherry Hill Rumors
For the first time in two years, I was unable to attend the Cherry Hill Convention... and it seems like I missed a fun time. According to MaryD, Ted Raimi said he might be back in season six as a ghost. Adrienne Wilkenson addressed the whole chakram attack in Motherhood. Apparently, the version we saw was not the version they shot. According to Adrienne, "the scene that was shot was much longer. It included Gabrielle stabbing Eve four times and Xena yelling at her to stop a few times. Xena then hits Gabrielle with the chakram. A big battle with the furies ensues." Hmm... apparently we might see a resolution to this in Coming Home (the season opener).
