Brooke recently filmed an episode of 'In a Heartbeat' entitled "The Boy's No Good". It'll
most likely air later this year or early next.
Site Survey Results
Thanks to everyone who participated in the site survey. Now here's some points that people brought
up:
More Color: I'm not a big fan of colors for some odd reason (take a look in my closet!) and
I'm always paranoid about how colors show up on other browsers and if they clash, but in an attempt
to add some, I've added a small pic with each update and I'll try to work out a new color scheme.
More Photos/Photos in Newsletter: I try to scan in and cap any and all appearances I can
find, but there's just been a lack of them lately. As for photos/colors in the newsletters, I don't
know what programs people are using for their email, but some don't support colors/photos and it just
ends up looking like a mess, which is why I stick with plain text.
Some Pictures Look Awful!: If you're using AOL, turn off the 'graphics compression'. Pages
might load faster but a lot of photos/graphics are screwed up. Some photos aren't that great because
the source isn't that great.
Zipping/Multimedia Problems: Did you download the codec needed to view the AVI files? That's
usually the problem most people have. Also, I zip files to try to make 'em a bit smaller for uploading
and downloading so you're going to need an unzip utility, there's several free ones out there so it
shouldn't be a problem.
Tobias/Rachel Stuff: This is a Brooke site as opposed to a 'Rachel' site so I'm trying to
focus on the actress rather than the character.

the info.

Brooke's latest project is another CBS mini-series entitled 'Haven'. According to Brooke
it may air February 2001.
Synopsis from cbs.com:
In the tradition of Schindler's List, Natasha Richardson stars as Ruth Gruber, the true-life heroine
who saved a thousand Jewish refugees from war-torn Italy by helping them cross the perilous Atlantic
on a liberty ship during World War II. Once in America, Gruber establishes these immigrants in an
upstate New York community, keeping them safe through the end of the war.

They've had behind the scenes interviews with everyone else, now Brooke's is up on the
official site. Check it out
here.

Synopsis of 'Guilty Hearts' from cbs.com:
Young, pretty, working-class Jenny Moran (Marcia Gay Harden) was both attracted to and intimidated by
Dr. Stephen Carrow (Treat Williams). She couldn't imagine that Stephen would ever be interested in her.
But he was. And no one could believe that he would meticulously murder his wife, framing Jenny's husband
for the crime, to be with Jenny. But he did. And that was just the beginning.
Unfortunately there was no airdate listed.

Brooke's episode of 'The Famous Jett Jackson' is the Disney Channel series' third season
opener. Airing on June 17 the plot synopsis is as follows: "Jett (Lee Thompson Young) joins the debate
team to impress a girl; on "Silverstone," a computer hacker (guest star Usher) tries to crack a
security code."

Not much news going on lately. For those wondering about the KCA results, unfortunately
Animorphs lost to Harry Potter in the favorite book series category.
Thursday, March 09, 2000
First a little bad news, according to Brooke it is indeed the last season of Animorphs :-(
It's been fun to watch though. Now some good news, remember way back in December when we collected
Birthday and Holiday greetings for Brooke? Well she did receive them and "was touched by all the
messages from the fans". :-)

Not really news, just wanted to remember when I decided to revamp the place... again.

Okay, an addendum to the future of Animorphs. It's not really looking good for a 3rd season
since there were only six episodes made for season 2 and the show is currently not in production. The
press release listed their returning shows with a slate of new episodes, Animorphs is not one of them.
(FYI: They are: All That, Angry Beavers, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Blue's Clues, Caitlin's Way,
CatDog, Cousin Skeeter, Double Dare 2000, Hey Arnold, Kablam!, Little Bill, Nick News, Oh Yeah!
Cartoons!, Rocket Power, Rugrats, SpongeBob SquarePants and The Wild Thornberrys.) It is possible for
Animorphs to return with reruns or, if it does well, for new episodes to air as a mid season
replacement.

The official site has updated Cyberia again. Photos from the upcoming episodes have been
posted on the pictures page.
Friday, February 18, 2000
Well with a six episode second season it was bound to happen. Nickelodeon issued a press
release on it's Fall season and Animorphs is not listed as a returning show. This is a Brooke site, so
it will stay open, with (hopefully) the latest on her career.
Friday, February 11, 2000
Head over to the official site for some clips from season two! They've updated Cyberia's
look with a new cast photo (which I personally like better) and there's also a chat with Chris. I've
added some new photos from both the official site and some caps taken by
Jeff to the gallery.
Thursday, February 10, 2000
I don't live in Canada so can any Canadian confirm or deny this? I'm finally getting around
to updating the schedules for Canada, but I don't see any Animorphs listed. In it's YTV timeslot on
Fridays I see 'Sailor Moon' and I don't see any listings for Global.
Wednesday, February 09, 2000
Redid the photo galleries so let me know if anything's coming up as a broken link. Also
added a new scan from the video cover. Also, head over to the
official site for a clip with scenes from season two.
Monday, January 31, 2000
The official site has a new contest to celebrate the second season. Enter soon, the entries
must be postmarked by Feb. 19th:
http://www.scholastic.com
And for those who want the answers... #3, 4, 8, 9, 13 & 15. Thanks to Jeff for 'em.

At the top is a scan of the ad for the PC/PS Animorphs game. Click on it for a lager scan. The text
reads: "Take Control -- In two unique games for your computer or video game system. -- Animorphs --
Coming Spring 2000"
Friday, January 14, 2000
I have something new to put up -- an update on what Brooke's been doing from her :) You can
find where I previously kinda rambled on the main page.
Thursday, January 13, 2000
It's been a while since I had any actual updates, but as it says on the main page, I think
this update is worth it. I got a premiere date for the 2nd season and the schedule through March
(although it looks like the US is not getting 'Face Off' for some odd reason.) Also, some additional info
on where you can get the CCG added to the CCG page.
Wednesday, January 05, 2000
Decipher has come out with a Animorphs Customizable Card Game (think Pokemon or Magic: The
Gathering). I lucky enough to get a copy and I've posted up my
review for it.
Sunday, January 02, 2000
Happy New Years everyone! The site's been given a slightly new look to go with the new year :)
