Rob Owen from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has given us “Three Rivers” set info and also filming tidbits!

Just how big is the “Three Rivers” hospital set? So big they cut holes in the wall between Paramount stages 19 and 20 so production designer Philip Toolin could create long, winding, river-like corridors for the doctors to stride down during those all-important hospital show walk-and-talk shots.

Series stars Alex O’Loughlin (“Moonlight”) and Katherine Moennig (“The L Word”) will return to Pittsburgh Aug. 17 to film two scenes to insert in two upcoming episodes. A scene for the new first episode features O’Loughlin’s Dr. Andy Yablonski playing rugby with some old neighborhood buddies in a park (rugby doesn’t seem all that Pittsburgh-y, does it?); another scene for the show’s fourth episode features Moennig’s Dr. Miranda Foster and Yablonski having a conversation with Downtown Pittsburgh in the background.

Odd, clingy scrubs that resembled “Star Trek” uniforms in the Pittsburgh pilot have been discarded in favor of more normal-looking scrubs.

I also added 1 more publicity image of Alex at Jennifer Lopez’s 40th Birthday Party in NYC.

Thanks Crayen for donating it!

I also added 2 publicity images of Alex and the “Three Rivers” cast at the TCA Summer Press Tour (Day 2).

CBS’ new organ transplant drama, Three Rivers, has made organ donors of its stars. Most of them, anyway.

Castmates Alex O’Loughlin (Moonlight), Alfre Woodard (St. Elsewhere), Justina Machado (Six Feet Under) and other series regulars addressed the issue during a set visit as part of the Television Critics Association fall press tour.

O’Loughlin said he’s been a donor since his teenage years.

“It just seemed like the cool thing to do,” he joked, before adding, “I don’t need it anymore, and I don’t have any religious beliefs or anything that keep me from doing it.”

The show, debuting Sunday, Oct. 4 at 9/8c, follows the stories of the doctors, donors and recipients in a Pittsburgh transplant hospital. (The title refers to the city’s three rivers and the three converging stories.)

CBS has released photos and information on “Three Rivers” for the TCA Press Tour.

THREE RIVERS is a medical drama starring Alex O’Loughlin (“Moonlight,” upcoming CBS Films’ “The Back-Up Plan”) that goes inside the emotionally complex lives of organ donors, the recipients and the surgeons at the preeminent transplant hospital in the country, where every moment counts. However, dealing with donor families in their darkest hour and managing the fears and concerns of apprehensive recipients takes much more than just a sharp scalpel. Leading the elite team is Dr. Andy Yablonski, the highly-skilled workaholic lead organ transplant surgeon, whose good-natured personality and sarcastic wit makes him popular with his patients and colleagues. His co-workers include Dr. Miranda Foster, a surgical fellow with a rebellious streak and fiery temper who strives to live up to her deceased father’s excellent surgical reputation; Dr. David Lee, a womanizing surgical resident who’s broken as many hearts as he’s replaced; Ryan Abbott, the inexperienced new transplant coordinator who arranges the intricately choreographed process of quickly and carefully transporting organs from donor to patient; Dr. Sophia Jordan, the dedicated head of surgery who has no patience for anyone who hasn’t sacrificed as much as she has for the job; and Pam Acosta, Andy’s no-nonsense operating assistant and best friend. In this high stakes arena, in which every case is a race against the clock, these tenacious surgeons and medical professionals are the last hope for their patients.

I was watching CBS tonight and captured another “Three Rivers” commercial. Enjoy!

I have also added 5 captures from the “Three Rivers” commercial above.

I added 124 more photos of Alex and Jennifer filming scenes for “The Back Up Plan” on 7/22/09.

I’m sure there are some duplicates! If you find any, please let me know.

PS: We now have 18,000+ images in the gallery. That’s so amazing!

Alex just blogged on his MySpace!

Its been a while
Current mood: adored

Hi everybody.

Well it certainly has been a minute since I last wrote you all, but I am glad to say that it’s because I literally have not stopped working since we last spoke. I finished The Backup Plan a few days ago and flew straight back to LA to start production on Three Rivers, which is where I am now.

The film experence was wonderful! We were very lucky to have the team of producers & the director that we had and I would work with them all again tomorrow! It was nothing but positive.

Our director and leader, Alan Poul was as good as you can get. Very intelligent, funny, sensative to everyone’s needs and a true visionary. I think we might just have a decent little film on our hands! 

Many of you have sent me messages full of questions about Jennifer and how I found working with her, and I appreciate your enthusiasm.

Jennifer is a very private person and I respect that, so what I will tell you is that she is all the good things you could possibly imagine her to be. Funny, smart, generous, always prepared, very professional, always punctual… and of course, beautiful.

Thank you all so much for the constant support. It can be difficult to reach you all personally and individually, but none of your love and hard work ever goes unnoticed or unappreciated. It is something in my life that helps me find the energy I don’t always think I have, to get through another long work day and stay inspired. Without you all it would be kind of pointless so, again, thank you.

All my love
