It’s crazy that it was not just the cast and crew sitting patiently waiting for the right numbers and the right words to come out today into tomorrow, but this WHOLE DAMN TOWN, too! Wilmywood was anxiously googling to see who is saying what. Well, finally we can shed a little light! I will be updating this particular blog as more comes in throughout the day and week.
