No; we're still in the process of casting, and no offer has been
put forth yet.

No, you almost always write the character long before you have
the actor; you just find the actor that fits the character, then slowly
the two begin to merge once the role is cast. When Bruce came on
board, I think we already had the first 4-5 scripts in hand.

In the case of Lochley, she isn't in 501 anyway, that's the 422
replacement...she's in 502, and we still have time on that one.

Joe..."

Ain't so. They're both in 503, and will appear thereafter as
well. Also in the main credits as usual.
