In other news…

It hasn’t been all gloom and doom backstage at “One Life” since the show cancelled back in April. So what do the cast members do to let off some steam? Apparently they don a Spiderman mask and pretend to have “spidey sense” while around their co-stars. Kristen Alderson tweeted the pictures last week of herself, Kassie DePaiva (Blair), Andrew Trischitta (Jack), Kelly Missal (Dani), and Barret Helms (Baz) all taking turns wearing the superhero mask. Looks like fun! And who says you can’t have a little bit of fun while reporting the news?

And Robin Strasser (Dorian) tweeted last Friday that “EGO Goin’ OUT door: Fan outside studio, wanted picture of me- Roger Howarth showed up-fan flipped (natch)- FORGOT me! Better get used 2 it!” Poor Robin…
