What will 2006 bring for Dennis and the gang?

Dennis with Esai and Jackie

Where, oh where, is Dennis Franz these days? In Idaho? In Santa Barbara? Traveling the world with Joanie and the family?

So far, post Blue the for cast members have stayed busy with work. Esai has some feature work in the can as well as having appeared on ABC's Freddie. Jackie Obradors is riding high on ABC's Freddie as the female lead. Mark-Paul Gosselaar is showing up weekly on the alphabet network's Commander in Chief. Henry Simmons has a couple feature rolls in the works. Austin Majors is popping up here and there in commercials. Currie Graham did a turn on Fox's House. Both Gordon Clapp and Bill Brochtrup did their part in theatrical productions - Bill in Boston and Gordon on Broadway. Bonnie Somerville was in the witty FOX sitcom Kitchen Confidential. Finally, Charlotte Ross appeared post pregnancy to the delight of her followers and has not one but two projects - an independent feature and a co-starring role in ABC's Jake In Progress, which begins January 9.

So, that leaves us with our fearless leader, Sgt. Sipowicz. Where are you when we need you? I'm all with you on taking some time to relax and regroup after your long run on Blue. Hanging out with the family and doing some travelling is wonderful. Getting to know your grandchild, catching up on your reading, doing those little things in the community - like sitting in as Grand Marshall of the Santa Barbara Holiday Parade. But now it's time...time to show your handsome smiling face someplace in public! We miss you big guy!! So, if you can be ever so kind to humor your loyal fans with an appearance or something we would be forever in your debt. I'm telling you, there are some of the blog readers here that may require medical attention if you don't show up some place soon! So, pack a bag for the weekend, drive down to LA and take Joanie out for lunch at The Ivy or dinner at Koi. Make sure the photographers are there and snap your handsome mug! If a meal out isn't to your liking, why not check out a premiere or show. I hear BARK at the Coast Playhouse is quite good. It's closing soon so you better get moving. Or maybe you'd like to check out some new snazzy cars at the LA Auto Show. It starts later this week...Having trouble deciding what you want to do in LA? Need to make sure a photographer is there to capture the moment? Dennis, just drop us a comment post here and we'll make it happen! We miss you and hope to see you soon.

Happy New Year to all the Blue gang! We look forward to seeing you soon!
