Joyce is the character, not the actress. The latest: The agent is telling us that the actress really wants to do it, but must talk to her husband who was supposed to be home by now but who's running late. So, she asked us to wait just a little while longer, and since it's now to late for the other offer to go out, we'll wait - I'm hoping to hear tonight, or the morning at the latest, but if we haven't heard by ten-thirty, the other offer goes out - and that actress is free and if she likes it, that will probably work out. Gregg Edelman, whose offer was on the table for Fred, will be out of the country, so the next offer is already out - haven't worked with this actor, but everyone I've spoken to about him adores him, so I'm just flying on a wing and a prayer.
