Season Five Prep and other busy work

We're prepping for Season 5 of Pahala Shore. The writers have condensed quite a few storylines, so next season is going to be action packed to say the least. Already we're going to lose five characters by the end of season 5-that's right five.

I won't say if they will be written off the show for all eternity or if it's a temporary issue. We have a new character slatted to join the show, but since they are occupied with other projects at the moment, they will not appear in season 5...as of now. There is only one more character who needs a storyline, so once that is formulated, the wardrobe department can start shopping for items and the legal department can start the contracts. This season is almost halfway over, so I'm sure a lot of the cast would like to know if they have a job next season or not.

I can say that we're losing a cast member this season-Blake Briggon/Willis, is retiring, so we're filming his scenes for next season earlier. This has made the need for the filming schedule to be turned upside down and for some storylines to be tweaked. Thankfully we didn't plan for Willis to be a permenant fixture on the show, but I hope all the fans enjoy the way he will leave the show-along with the other cast members.

Filming for the second episode of The Gloria Show will start today, all the guests are in and wardrobe is finishing up with them. The episode is scheduled to aire next month and we need to send out requests for the April episode, might need to see what's going on. I have an idea for more of a non-entertainment industry show, but need to mull over it some more.

The Oscars are coming up soon. I plan on attending, but I can't get my requests to go through. Will have my assistant try again. I also need to find a gown for the event, hmmm....maybe I'll have one custom designed for me.

Have an opportunity to work with Make Me A Model, will need to consult with some of the staff in order to make the most of the opportunity and to prepare for it. Still waiting on more instructions from the MMAM producers.

Pahala Shore will be filming overtime this weekend due to repairs expected on the system and the new deal being signed soon. I don't want to lose any work, so we're going to film some episodes this weekend and then the staff can edit them at a remote location while the repairs are being done. That means the cast will have some days off, but they will have to work an extreme amount before they can take those days off.

A. Pentragnani is going well. The wedding collection division is the strongest division at the moment, we've actually made the desicion to offer the items internationally, so we're collecting all the pattern copyright information and prepping the community store for the shipment in addition to preparing for photo shoots of the collection. We're also going to offer the teen sweaters (nine sweaters in all) as well as the children sweaters (also nine sweaters). The fashion house has signed Tatiana Garris as a model in addition to Etta Leigh Sweeny (our teen model).

Still have been mulling over the summer movie(s). Need to narrow down my list of ideas, start shopping for soundtracks and holding auditions so the prep work of wardrobes, set building and makeup can start. Then of course filming and promotion of the film(s).

O, and Pahala Shore aires tody. All in all, I'm one very busy sim.
