The Sun newspaper has reported that Crossroads has been
recommissioned for another year but there are to be massive changes
to the show, its cast and storylines.

In a nutshell, the existing Executive Producer Sharon Bloom has gone
bye bye and a judge from SoapStars, Yvon Grace, will replace her.

From http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2002271488,00.html

ITV has spared Crossroads from the chop — but bosses have drafted in
ruthless Soapstars judge Yvon Grace to axe a clutch of regulars.

The network has commissioned another year of shows but is demanding
huge changes to boost ratings.

Red-haired Yvon — dubbed Cruella De Vil for making Soapstars hopefuls
cry — becomes the show's new executive producer.

An ITV insider said: "The cast are steeling themselves for a wave of
axings, but there will also be new faces and better storylines.

"Yvon has a very good track record and anybody who saw her on
Soapstars knows she takes no prisoners."

The changes will be seen on screen in the autumn.

The move ends a nervous few months for the cast, who feared the re-
launched 1970s show was going to be chopped altogether.

Crossroads was last year cut from two episodes five days a week to
running twice a day from Monday to Thursday.

Critics blasted the show, which pulls in 3.2 million viewers, for
failing to match the old version.

Yvon said: "I have great plans to make it a must-see daytime show.

"I remember rushing home from school to watch it. I loved Crossroads
when I was growing up."

Hi Kate :)

The only merchandise out there is the Crossroads Book, released in
September 2001 that you can buy on Amazon (and IIRC save 30% as well!)

I'm not aware of any other merchandise though.

Hi Stuart :)

Georginia Walker is the name of the actress who plays Rio.  She's the
same age more or less as Matthew Maude, and he's 18 next month.

Georginia has been seen in Night & Day as Jane Harper.

Could you plz tell me what is in this book?

It's just a book mostly about the original series of Crossroads but
there are about 20 pages at the end dedicated to the Mark II people.

You can buy it from online places like Amazon.  It's by Geoff Tibbals
and normally costs £14.99, though Amazon are selling it for £10.49, a
saving of 30%.  Although you can buy it in the Amazon marketplace
second-hand as cheaply as £6.74.

Go see:  http://www.amazon.co.uk and do a search for "The Crossroads
Story".

23 Tips To Making Windows XP Start 60% Faster

Whenever you start your computer, you are faced with a few moments of
thumb twiddling while Windows XP boots and prompts you to log on.

over a period of time the PC that used to roar to life seems a bit
sluggish instead. Fortunately, you can perform several techniques that
help Windows XP get the bootup speed you want. This chapter explores
how to put these techniques to work.
