Nina Tassler Speaks To Moonlight Fans

First, before I get to business I need to talk about something. I have been very active with Digg lately. And there I have found the best Jericho fans around. They are committed to saving Jericho. I totally admire them. It’s because of this fight with Moonlight I have found them. Jericho fans are persistent and they are out to get what they want. I have never found people that will fight so relentlessly for something they believe in.

The other day, I published a story about how Nina Tassler said that she wasn’t sorry about canceling Moonlight and all fan mail really was all about Alex O’Loughlin.

TV Squad got a chance to talk to Nina and tell her how mad Moonlight fans are about what she said the other day…her response?? (Jericho fans get ready…you are are included too!)

I caught up with Tassler at the CBS party that night, and I told her about the comments I was getting. When I speculated that I didn’t even think the Jericho fans were that passionate, she retorted, “I think they were. The Jericho fans … I spent a lot of time looking the blogs and the website. Look, I don’t want to say Moonlight fans weren’t fans of the show. They were. But in sort of sifting through all of it (the e-mails, etc.) it was very much about ‘our vampire, Alex (O’Laughlin).’” When I mentioned that some of the comments were pretty ugly, she just looked at me and said, “It’s not a pretty business.”

Nina doesn’t know what she is doing…there is so much more to that show than Alex. I love Alex…but I love the story and the cast too.
