Confirming what we knew last month, CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler said Pittsburgh-set medical drama “Three Rivers” is good and truly dead.

“We’ve all known each other long enough to say that when something is ‘on hiatus’ it’s code for something else,” said CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler, confirming the show’s cancellation.

As far as what went wrong, she acknowledged that it took the show too long to find its legs.

“Maybe we didn’t give enough character early on, maybe that was too late,” she said. “I also think Sunday night is a rough time to launch a new show. We have to assume some responsibility as far as programming it on Sunday night. I think it’s worth having another conversation about strategy on Sunday nights, which we certainly will.”

Wish it were good news! *big sigh*

What’s to become of heartthrob Alex O’Loughlin now that CBS has mercifully pulled the plug on his organ-donor drama, Three Rivers? Says CBS president and CEO Leslie Moonves, “We still have his upcoming movie!”—referring to The Back-Up Plan, the feature film from the network’s new movie division, CBS Films. In the romantic comedy, Jennifer Lopez plays a baby-mama wannabe who meets Mr. Right (O’Loughlin) after becoming impregnated with the help of a sperm bank. That’s a bit of a drag, given that O’Loughlin’s character would’ve been one hot biological papa. “Alex spends almost half of the movie with his shirt off,” says Moonves, with a wide smile. “I mean, I’m a straight man, but even I, you know….” As for putting O’Loughlin back on the small screen, Moonves half-jokingly says, “I don’t know, should we bring Moonlighting back?” (O’Loughlin’s short-lived vampire drama was actually called Moonlight, but who are we to correct a network head?) In the end, Moonves offers some assurance that Australian native O’Loughlin won’t be shipped back to Oz any time soon. “He’s in the family,” Moonves says.

THREE RIVERS
Hey everyone…..

Well, like usual I have been meaning to write you all and, like usual, not getting around to it. Before Thanksgiving….. during

Thanksgiving….after Thanksgiving! But today, I thought I better get to it…..

A lot of you probably already know this, because you guys know what’s happening in my life before I do, but today I was informed that Three Rivers would soon draw to an end.

To be honest I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

After Moonlight was canceled I needed to go away and regroup for a while. I was hesitant to engage in another show at all, even when Three Rivers was proposed, but I realized immediately how important this story was and would be. This, the story of so many different people all around the world who’s lives have somehow been affected by organ donation and transplant medicine.

I often catch myself saying things like “We’re actors! We’re not curing cancer or feeding the hungry.” (Of course referring to the fact I don’t always feel that as an actor my job is that important or relevant.) But I soon realized that Three Rivers would be a source of great comfort to those aforementioned people, providing perhaps for the first time an accurate and cathartic experience directly related to that which they all shared.

Already in this short time I have received so many beautiful letters of support and gratitude from so many of you who have lost loved ones, and also shared the gift of life with others as a result of those tragedies. And this sudden cancellation has rocked me completely.

As most of you know, through Three Rivers I was blessed to have been afforded the chance to work with the organization Donate Life America. This potential opportunity was one of the main reasons I agreed to do the show, and having only recently finished my Ambassador training I had become an official spokesperson. We have done a couple of events and some PSA’s and there has been growing excitement about the possibilities of exposure and support we at Three Rivers could provide as the show gained in numbers and strength. Well, though the news of the show is heartbreaking I view it as nothing more than a temporary setback in the work I plan to do with Donate Life America. For me this is just the beginning of what I hope to be a long relationship.

To be honest I don’t really know what else to say. I am beginning my process of detachment and will be in touch soon.

All my love,….
