HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSICA!!

December 8, 2005

KI gets KO'ed [8:40 PM ET]

Killer Instinct, the Fox TV Series that Jessica had a small role in (for the first 7 episodes) has been cancelled. Not really a bummer for Jessica fans since she isn't on the show anymore, but I thought I would mention it anyway. Only 9 episodes had aired total with Jessica appearing in the first 7. The last episode aired this past Friday on December 2nd and apparently there are 4 unaired episodes left.

Jessica Does Another NCIS Episode! [1:30 AM ET]

Jessica recently worked on another episode of NCIS for the series 3rd season that premiere's this Fall. Jessica will once again reprise the role of Agent Paula Cassidy. This will mark Jessica 5th episode on the series to date. It appears that Jessica has a decent part in this one as opposed to those brief "via satellite" appearances she made in 2 of the episodes. From what I understand, the episode is titled "Mind Games" and is tentatively scheduled to be the 3rd episode to air this coming season, which should mean it will air on October 4, 2005. Of course, that date could change so stay tuned.

"The Gate" now titled "Killer Instinct"[2:25 AM ET]

The Futon Critic website in an article about the series formerly known as "The Gate" which was formerly known as "Deviant Behavior" is now saying that the series is now titled "Killer Instinct." The series is scheduled to premiere on Friday, September 23rd at 9:00/8:00c.

Jessica involved in some Deviant Behavior! [2:25 AM ET]

Yay! I finally get to use that title! Although I have known about Jessica's involvement in the pilot for this new TV series since late March, I couldn't say anything about it for a number of reasons until the time was right. But now that The Futon Critic mentioned in their preview of The Gate about Jessica being in the shows pilot, (and I have been getting a number of emails asking if I knew this) I guess I should post something. Back in early April, Jessica worked on the pilot for proposed Fox series that was then called "Deviant Behavior." The pilot was shot in Vancouver as well as in San Francisco (where the show takes place). The show (which since has been given a working title of "The Gate") was created by CSI Exec Producer Josh Berman and is a procedural crime drama about a police crime unit that goes after serial killers. Jessica plays the character Dr. Francine Klepp. Since then, the show has received the green light to become a Fall series on Fox on Friday nights at 9:00/8:00c. The Futon Critic states on their site that the show premiere's on Friday, September 23, 2005.

What The Futon Critic doesn't know (and I do) is that Jessica should be in at least the first 6 episodes of the series as well. Yay!

Here is a description of the show from Fox's press release:

Created by Josh Berman (“CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”), THE GATE (working title) tells the chilling stories of bizarre crimes committed by San Francisco’s most aberrant criminals. The series centers on Detective GRAHAM HALE (Johnny Messner, THE O.C.) of the San Francisco Police Department’s Deviant Crime Unit. Intense and private, Hale is haunted by personal demons, and he chose this assignment after going AWOL for a year following his partner’s death in the line of duty. Hale’s new partner is rookie Detective AVA LYFORD (Marguerite Moreau, “Life As We Know It,” THE O.C.), whose no-nonsense demeanor and by-the-book tenacity hide both her insecurities and her secrets. Unbeknownst to Hale, she has a hidden agenda – and it might lead to his downfall. In the course of investigating his cases, Hale works closely with his boss, the likable Lieutenant MATT CAVANAUGH (Chi McBride, “Boston Public,” “The Terminal”), and with DR. FRANCINE KLEPP, a forensic pathologist in the Coroner’s lab and the former roommate of Hale’s late partner, Meg. Exploring the idea that “behind every monster there’s a mystery,” the stories of THE GATE remind us that the “monsters” are everyday people, hidden in plain sight – and that, in each of us, a monster may lurk just beneath the surface.

Here are a few more links that describe the show...

The 10th Anniversary! [1:25 PM ET]

10 years ago today I started The Jessica Steen Page when I was learning HTML and discovered Jessica when I was a fan of her 1994-95 TV Series "Earth 2". Hard to believe it has been that long! Back in early 1995 when I started working on the page, the Internet was a very different place. As I recall, most AOL users weren't even able to go on to the Internet at that time. Back then, I could expect maybe 5 to 10 people at most to visit the website per day. Now we can expect hundreds or more a day depending on what Jessica is up to. Times have changed since then, the Internet certainly has changed things, and I am sure there are many of us that have a hard time remembering life before the Internet. Or maybe before the Internet some of us had more of a life. Not sure. Anyway, the Internet has changed and I have changed somewhat. I admit I haven't had as much time over recent years to work on this site as I did in the early years. My priorities have changed I suppose, but I still enjoy following Jessica's career and plan to keep on doing this as long as there is interest.

I want to thank all the people from around the world who over the years that took the time to help me out with things like pictures, articles, news updates, and other information needed to run a site like this.

Sincerely,

George C.
