People are used to seeing him play nice guys,
good guys. Playing against type is always
interesting. It always worked for Jack Nicholson
and Cary Grant, so why not Neil Patrick Harris?
The two chuckle, sure that Neil would appreciate being in such a great acting category.
CAROLE
How about Olivia D'Abo as Goren's nemesis?
Fans just voted to keep her alive rather than kill her off.

We did something that had never been done on
television, and it came about by accident. We'd
written an episode last May where her character,
Nicole Wallace, came back and there was a certain
outcome that worked very well. Over the summer, we
started to rethink the outcome and decided it would
work well with the opposite outcome as well. So we
shot "version B" and put it together. Each option
sends Goren into a different type of hell. If he kills
her, it creates angst in one way. If she lives, it will
cause him problems in another way. Both versions
were dramatically and creatively sound. They both
worked. I'd also been keeping a pulse of what online
fans were talking about.
