Q & A Session

Charles Barile:  Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for attending the session for Roswell. Since it premiered in October 1999, Roswell has set the standard for intelligent and heartfelt young adult drama. That, combined with its distinctive and gripping science fiction subtext, has resulted in a genuine and popular and cult success. UPN is very proud and pleased to welcome the principals from Roswell. Let's go to a clip and then we'll bring them out.

(Applause) Please welcome on my immediate left, the Executive Producer of Roswell, Mr. Jason Katims; on his left, Shiri Appleby, Katherine Heigl, and Majandra Delfino. Your questions, please.

Question: I have a question for the three actresses. Is this the first time you've all seen each other since the cancellation and resuscitation of Roswell?

Majandra Delfino: No.

Question: During that whole period where it seemed that it was uncertain what would happen as far as WB was concerned and there were lots of rumors that UPN might pick it up, when the cancellation notice came down from the WB, were you pretty confident that you would still be continuing on at that point on UPN?

Shiri Appleby: I don't think any of us really had an idea of what was going to happen, but I think we were all really hopeful that UPN would pick it up, and when it happened, we were all just really happy to have a job and be on a network that supported us.
