The episode has already been shot and the show is on hiatus. The episode is scheduled to be aired later this month. HOWEVER... this specific episode has not yet been received for review by the Fox Television Network and there is concern as to whether or not the kiss scene will be cut. Rumor control says that sponsors may pull out if the scene is left in the show. Please get those pens/pencils out and write to Mr. Sandy Grushow, Network President, Fox Televsion Network, 10201 West Pico Blvd., LA, CA 90035. (He can be reached at 310-203-2247). You might politely suggest that the scene NOT be cut. You might also mention the artcle entitled "Boy Meets Boy - The New Love Story" which is in the May edition of US Magazine. The author states that the ratings went up for the recent Rosea e with a g/l theme and that it was the MOST successful Roseanne episode of the season. While you're writing...send another letter to the Melrose Place publicist: Sharan Magnuson (the spelling is correct - it's not Sharon), P.O. Box 900, Beverly Hills, CA 90213.
