Q. How old is Raven? I enjoy her on
“That’s So Raven” on Disney and thought
she was just adorable as a little kid on
“The Cosby Show.” Janet F.
A. Raven is now 19, even if she’s still
portraying a high-school kid on that
Disney show. Says the actress, “We don’t
look too old, I don’t think. We can handle
another season.” Upcoming, she and her
classmates on the show will be interning
at a design firm. As for the actress, she
just completed a movie for Lifetime. She
portrays a high-school student who tries
to end the school’s 31-year-old tradition
of segregated proms. She’s also become a
producer for her TV series on Disney.
* * *
Q. Is Carlos Bernard, who plays Tony
Almeida on “24,” related to Maurice
Bernard, who plays Sonny on “General
Hospital”? I kind of see where they could
be. Toni M.
A. Maurice’s last name is Benard, not
Bernard. The two are not related in any
way.
* * *
Q. Please tell me what I’ve heard is
just a rumor. A co-worker told me that
Rebecca Budig, who plays Greenlee on
“All My Children,” is leaving the show.

I hope not! She is just dynamite, and her
interaction with Kendall (Alicia Min-
shew) is fabulous. Also, I want to see her
reunite with Ryan (Cameron Mathison).
Amanda S.
A. It’s been reported widely that Re
becca is, indeed, leaving the show shortly.
However, there has been no official word
from the network. By the way, Rebecca
used to play Michelle Bauer on “Guiding
Light” from 1995 to 1998, a character
completely different from Greenlee.
In real life, Rebecca is married to Bob
Guiney, who was one of those famous
“Bachelors” once upon a time.
* * *
Q. What’s up with the Steven Web
ber character on “General Hospital”?
Where’d he go? Lynette K.
A. The actor who played him, Shaun
Benson, was let go. The official explana
tion is that it was storyline-dictated. Cur
rently, there are no plans to bring back the
character (or the actor).
* * *
Q. Is it true that Milo Ventimiglia, who
played Rory’s boyfriend, Jess, once upon
a time on “Gilmore Girls,” is returning
to the show? If so, what will happen with
current boyfriend, Logan (Matt Czuchry)?
Kathy L.
A. Milo will be returning, but it will
most likely only be a guest shot. Rory’s
current relationship isn’t in jeopardy.
Milo has another gig
going on the WB’s
upcoming drama, “The
Bedford Diaries.”
* * *
Q. I was saddened
by the recent death of
James Doohan, who
played Chief Engineer
Montgomery “Scotty”
Scott on the original
“Star Trek.” How old
was he, and what hap
pened? I was away at
the time and didn’t catch
any of the news. Carl J.
A. It was only a year
ago when Doohan told
fans at a “Star Trek”
convention in Los
Angeles that it was his
final public appearance.
He informed everyone
he had Alzheimer’s
Disease. He died of
the disease, along with
pneumonia, at the age of
85 on July 20. He will
be missed.
