Robert seems very cheerful on set today.  







I spotted Robert Carlye and Jennifer Morrison on location in Steveston today, (March 5th) working at Mr. Gold's Pawnshop.
The scene was filmed inside and I had missed the street scenes in the morning.  I was lucky when Robert Carlyle emerged into the sunshine to say hello to some fans.  He gladly met the families and kids who were out of school due to a teacher's walk out.  A small group of about a dozen were waiting to say hello.  On Saturday morning, I saw Robert at the airport getting ready to fly off to LA for Paleyfest with the rest of the cast from Once Upon A Time.
I declined to photograph Robert in the airport because he didn't seem like he wanted his photograph taken.
Lana Parrilla arrived with a companion and asked if we had seen Robert Carlyle.  I thought it was cute when Lana spotted Robert and called out to him, Hey Bobby!
Lana Parrilla, Josh Dallas and Eion Bailey were also on set today but unfortunately, I didn't see them.


Robert is explaining he doesn't want to sign autographs today.

Penoza - Another project with a Twilight connection.



Vancouver will be home to some of the very important and talented people that were responsible for making "The Twilight Saga" a huge financial success and helped launch the careers of several cast members.  Bill Bannerman and Karen Rosenfelt were two of the executive producers on the Saga Movies.  The pair will be in Vancouver producing "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters" this April.

Among the dozen or so new pilots being filmed, Penoza stands out because it is written by Melissa Rosenberg.

"Luke Goss (Hellboy II: The Golden Army) has joined ABC’s drama pilot, Penoza. Written byMelissa Rosenberg (Twilight), Penoza centers on Martha, a widow of an assassinated mobster who must assume her husband’s criminal role in order to protect her family. Making his first inroads into television, Goss will play Martha’s mob father’s bodyguard who is assigned to look after her and her children."
