JERRY MENTIONED IN TV GUIDE AND
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

9/10/02

Jerry's return to Crossing Jordan is mentioned in the September 7th issue of TV Guide and September 13th Entertainment Weekly.

Preparing to do battle with fellow forensics drama CSI: Miami, "we're amping up the show in terms of the kinds of stories we're doing," says creator and executive producer Tim Kring. "We're trying to give the NBC promo department as much stuff as we can." Like a 90-minute season opener that takes Boston coroner Jordan Cavanaugh (Jill Hennessy) to L.A. on the trail of her mother's murderer; Jerry O'Connell's return as Jordan's detective colleague Woody; a quarantine episode; and a hostage situation at the morgue. Any Day Now's Lorraine Toussaint will become a regular as abrasive new medical examiner Elaine Duchamps. "We brought her on because we found the morgue was a lovefest," says Kring. "We needed somebody to mix thing up." In other words, she'll be crossing Jordan (Sept. 23) - Entertainment Weekly

Miami vice: This year Jordan faces some tough competition from new spin-off CSI: Miami. "CSI is a powerful franchise, and I expect we will take a [ratings] hit," says series creator and executive producer Tim Kring, who promises to fight back with bigger, "More promotable" crime stories. "We're treating this season like it's nonstop sweeps." And it all starts with a 90-minute premiere at 9:30 P.M., a half hour earlier than usual.
Bring out the knives: Lorraine Toussaint (Any Day Now) joins the series as Elaine Deschamps, a no-nonsense pathologist who is also Jordan's nemesis and Garret's rival... Det. Woody Hoyt (Jerry O'Connell) returns as Jordan' ally and potential beau. - TV Guide

JERRY'S NEW ROMANCE

9/3/02

It looks like Jerry O'Connell has fallen for Olympic Gold medalist Janet Evans. Here's the news from Entertainment Today's Daly Report.

Olympic-Size Romance for Jerry O’Connell

Now it’s time to meet our next contestants on The New Hollywood Dating Game: he’s actor Jerry O’Connell, 28, and she’s Olympic swimming champion Janet Evans, 30. The happy couple was hand-in-hand at last week’s Los Angeles premiere of the new teen thriller Swimfan. “We’ve kept it pretty quiet,” says O’Connell, star of TV’s Crossing Jordan, who recently brought the 5’ 4” athlete back to New York to meet his family. “That was probably the biggest step. My mother actually pulled me aside and said, ‘Jerry I went on the Internet and she is so successful. She’s not only a gold medallist, she’s a four-time gold medallist. Jerry, this is the one.” Sparks began to fly earlier this year, when Evans and O’Connell—who can often be found swimming laps at the Sports Club LA—competed against one another at a charity bowling tournament in Las Vegas. O’Connell’s team came in third place and Evans ended up “somewhere down at the bottom,” he remembers. “There is something exciting about spending time with an Olympic gold medallist,” O’Connell beams, “because anytime you beat them at anything it is amazing. If I beat her at ping pong, I get so excited.”
