JUNE 1, 2016: HAPPY NEW MONTH :-)
Before you enjoy the posts below,
please take a few minutes for a more serious topic: Organ donation
If you do not yet know why Alex and the "AOL Fans for Donate
Life" support and promote organ donation, please read
this information
first. Thank you!
When Alex's character Steve on "Hawaii Five-0" received
part of his friend Danno's liver in the recent Season 6 finale to save Steve's life after
his liver was severely damaged by a gunshot, some fans thought the
transplantation was too "unrealistic" and some didn't believe or know that liver
transplants from living donors are, indeed, possible and that the liver actually grows
back.
Since fans should not only keep in mind that this is just a TV show (hence, it
can be a little unrealistic, sometimes), but very obviously also need reliable
information about the risks and benefits involved in living donor
transplantations, the links below will help you get the relevant real-life facts about living donor transplantations.
And let me add that the benefits, by far, outweigh the risks involved. Please view the following two pages to find out more:
https://www.facebook.com/livingdonortransplant/
or the related regular website:
http://www.upmc.com/services/transplant/Pages/become-living-donor.aspx
And some information in German about living donor
transplantations of livers:
http://www.dso.de/organspende-und-transplantation/lebendspende/teilleber-lebendspende.html
For further information about organ donation, in general,
please view the bottom half of my page about "Three Rivers", the show that made
Alex become an ambassador for organ donation and related
charities:

RIP Jimmy Borges - The H50 guest-actor
and musician, who was loved by both fans and colleagues, just passed away
Despite the loss of a very special man, it makes
me happy to know that Jimmy lived long enough to receive the four Nā Hōkῡ
Hanohano awards last Saturday that he'd been hoping for - including the award
for "favorite entertainer", voted for by the fans and myself. The awards were accepted by
his family since he had been suffering from terminal lung cancer for a while and
was not fit enough to attend the awards gala himself.
Let us all remember him for his work as a great entertainer - He will live on in
his roles as an actor and in his music!
As you may have guessed, I prepared the collage while he was still alive, as his
passing was foreseeable - The pictures show him in his last guest-appearance in
H50 episode 6.17 "Waiwai" (Assets).
Here is what his friend Dennis
Chun has written about Jimmy Borges:

Off to work...
H50's guest-actor Christopher

for him!

My friend Wendie needs your help
with this fan survey about your favorite characters on H50 - Thank you!
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1CkSsYIbCRn0gZGbYkY8Yo4SK8FL6sVmS02YEtKXb4uA/viewform?c=0&w=1
So who are your favorite characters? Please participate in the survey above!!!
JUNE 2, 2016:
UPDATE INFO: Please note that the fan survey about
favorite H50 characters was updated a few hours after Wendie first posted the
link because she had forgotten a few characters that have played a major role in
Steve's life (his sister MaryAnn, Cath, Aunt Deb etc.). Don't be hard on Wendie
for forgetting these characters - She's in "vacation mode" since she's currently
travelling and is preparing Five-0 Redux blogs for the fans despite her
vacation! Please do the survey again, if you notice that your favorite was added
after you took the survey. Here's the link again:

Back from work and dinner at an Italian restaurant...
I love these new photos with Alex obviously enjoying his hiatus travelling (probably in Europe...)
JUNE 3, 2016:

Photos of Scotty looking good at
the CBS Summer Soirees in L.A. with his partner Kacy & others (June 2)
Thanks to the "Scott Caan Fans World Wide" fansite for the pics!
Photo album incl. 11 new photos with Scotty
The H50 Season 7 spoilers from
Boss Peter about McDanno and their shared liver sound like fun stuff is coming
up :-)
Not all the fans liked the final scene with the boys arguing in hospital but, as
mentionned before, I love this ending and have a big grin on my face whenever I
watch a repeat of the finale or even just the ending of it, so I'm very much
looking forward to Season 7 and anything related to McDanno's relationship as
"blood brothers".

It's National Donut Day! Time to repost these pics of Alex as our favorite vampire Mick enjoying donuts in "Moonlight"
JUNE 4, 2016: Happy Weekend!
A PERSONAL MESSAGE to the fans -
in response to a fan's criticism of my posts on the Five-0 Redux Facebook page
Some fan criticized my posts as not being objective, complained to Wendie about
my frequent use of the word "great" and about me calling Peter the "boss" etc. -
Her comments made me so mad late last night that I ended up posting a message
for this fan on Facebook at 3am. Wendie blocked the fan - but my message is
still there to remind fans that I'm not a news journalist but a fan who loves
this show and its cast, so I won't stop writing positively about it. If you
don't like the show or the way I write about it - don't follow my fansite or the
Five-0 Redux Facebook page. Here's my long message to the fans including the
messages that the a.m. "fan" sent to Wendie on Twitter. Since I regularly take a
look at Wendie's Twitter account to view any fan feedback to my posts on
Facebook (which are automatically transmitted to the Twitter account, too), I
read the fan criticism after midnight and was suddenly wide awake again:
https://www.facebook.com/Five0Redux/posts/1245164078830150
Happy Birthday to H50 guest actor Egan Inoue who's also a good friend and jui-jitsu trainer of Alex and Scotty
If you happen to be in Munich,
Germany - come to the "Organ Donation Day" event at the Marienplatz!
I will be there this afternoon (at the big square in front of the city hall)
with another fan who's a co-founder of the "AOL Fans for Donate Life".
We both believe strongly in the benefits of organ donation and hope to motivate
many fans to join us as organ donors and in promoting organ donation.
Here's a repost of the info about the Organ Donation Day:
http://www.organspendetag.de/
Happy H50 Saturday!
CBS will spoil the fans with a repeat of
H50 ep. 6.08 "Piko Pau 'Iole (The artful dodger) at 8/7c ET/PT
Here's the Five-0 Redux blog about it as a
"refresher":
http://www.staradvertiser.com/features/five-0-redux/dodging-the-long-con/
The brandnew Five-0 Redux blog about
the fans' favorite characters is already online!
As you know, Wendie conducted a fan survey and wrote
this blog about the feedback she got from fans about the show's main and
recurring actors - and what they like about them.
Here's the blog:

Will be back later...
Impressions from the Organ
Donation Day in Munich, Germany
The event which I attended with one of the two original founders of the "AOL
Fans for Donate Life" primarily served to raise awareness and to provide
information to those interested in getting reliable and encouraging facts about
organ donation. Sat.1 (The TV network that used to show H50 - and claims that
H50 will return this year on German television) was also there as a sponsor and
to promote a film about organ donation - that's why their logo (which is
well-known to German H50 fans) can be seen in the collage. It was a good,
informative event but, of course, Alex - our favorite ambassador for organ
donation - was missing. It would have been great to have him around but there
were other actors on stage to promote organ donation.
P.S.: Please note that I'm wearing one of my favorite shirts from H50 - which
will hopefully distract from my tired look :-)
JUNE 5, 2016: Have a Sunny Sunday!
You just gotta love Daniel's
reaction in this video clip - Most people would simply get unnerved in his place
See for yourself:

Hmmm, will Kamekona start a new
business in Season 7 - maybe a rental car company?!
The man has come up with new business ideas almost every season, so these cars
could become part of his latest business plan :-) Take a look at this photo

One of my all-time favorite clips
(gifs) from H50 - The 'ohana dancing at Kono's wedding!
I will always love this scene from ep. 6.01 with Max, Duke, Steve and
the rest of the gang rocking the dancefloor to "We are family". As we
all know, the happiness didn't last long but the wedding scenes were definitely
fun to watch - and probably fun to play for the actors, too.
https://twitter.com/HawaiiFive0CBS/status/739299101200809984
Have you read the latest Five-0
Redux blog about the fans' favorite characters on H50 (based on a fan survey)?
The blog - and the fan survey it is based on - made clear that all of the main
and recurring actors on the show are loved by fans and are favorites to many
fans. And while Alex as Steve may be the No. 1 fan-favorite (not only to me), I
agree with Wendie that the other Five-0 members are all loved, too. However,
since fans had to pick one out of several favorites, the others automatically got a much lower
percentage of votes. Maybe we should have assessed how much we like each single
character on a scale of 1 to 100. Then we could have assigned 100 to Steve and
90 to the other main characters :-)
It would be great, if you would leave a positive comment about the blog and the
show on the
Star Advertiser page (on Facebook):
https://www.facebook.com/staradvertiser/posts/1210852462259305 (incl. link
to blog)
H50 fans have watched this young
lady grow up and become a teenager: Teilor Grubbs as Gracie Williams
In the Five-0 Redux survey, fans pointed out how much they love Danno as a
father - and there's probably not a single fan who doesn't love Danno's daughter
Gracie, played by Teilor. I wonder if anyone on the show or her parents ever
expected this show to run for (at least) 7 seasons and that we'd get to watch
Teilor grow up over the years. Gracie is the reason why we get to enjoy Danno on
this show, in the first place, because he came to Hawaii to be close to his
daughter. I'd say that's a good reason for dedicating a collage to the fans'
favorite teenager in Hawaii - both on and off screen ;-)
You may have wondered if I don't like Teilor because I never share private or family photos of her (although these photos do get posted on other pages - incl. pics with her younger sister), so let me point out that I definitely like her very much but I think as long as she is still a child, and now a teenager, her "offscreen life" should be kept as private as possible to protect her and to give her a chance to grow up like a normal teenager. She also looked so very shy and slightly uncomfortable in some of her earlier interviews that I felt sorry for her. This seems to have changed but, nevertheless, I'll stick to just enjoying her on screen and in coverage from official events, such as the SOTB premieres.
JUNE 6, 2016:
Happy McGarrett Monday
with H50's Steve in Blue - He doesn't look happy himself but he looks very good,
anyway
He must have thought about having to return to work after his weekend on Maui
with Danno :-)

Definitely two fan-favorites from H50: Dennis & Jimmy
JUNE 7, 2016:
It's "Duke Day" which is all
about one of the H50 fans' favorites: Dennis Chun as Sgt. Duke Lukela
As you know, the current Five-0 Redux blog focuses on the favorite characters on
the show - and Dennis as Duke is clearly one of them, especially to Wendie and
me - not least because the actor playing Duke is a favorite and friend. I was
very moved to get a very kind, encouraging message from Dennis this weekend
after a fan had criticized my work on the Five-0 Redux page - after which I had
vented my anger online, as you may have noticed in my post late on Friday night.
I'm very happy that Dennis considers me 'ohana and that he took time to meet me
when I was vacationing in Hawaii in March and to thank me for my support and
aloha for the show. You can probably all imagine that it means a lot to a fan
and fansite admin to be "noticed" by one of the actors on one's favorite show
and, even more, to be told how much he appreciates your support. It's not
something to be taken for granted.
I'll start with a collage that shows Dennis as Duke with the boys of Five-0
because I love seeing him with Alex and Scotty who are the fans' top-favorites
(in particular Alex).
A new photo of Alex with the
opera singer Ivana Canovic & Co. - Thanks to Ivana for the great photo!
Alex looking good and relaxed during his hiatus
Off to work...
Yeah, a really good day today - not only did I win tickets for a cool dance show BUT I also got a parcel full of Hawaiian and H50 gifts from my friend Wendie! A whole lot of good stuff was waiting for me after work :-)

It's good to see H50 Boss Peter's
new upcoming show "MacGyver" called "most promising" in this article!
I agree that both new CBS shows offer best advertising opportunities because
both are likely to reach high numbers of viewers - not only "MacGyver" which
will air right before H50 on Fridays but also "Bull" with NCIS's Michael
Weatherly who is equally popular as our Five-0 favorites. He was always my
favorite on "NCIS".

Happy Hump Day with these two fan-loved
H50 boys: McDanno :-)
It's the only new H50 collage I have left to post
because I was so tired last night, I literally dropped into bed at 11 pm after a
busy "laundry night".
Off to work...
A French artist has drawn an
excellent portrait of Alex - based on a promo pic of him from "Three Rivers"
https://www.facebook.com/Atelier.Wauters/photos/pcb.750097341796883/750093171797300/?type=3&theater
Alex & Scotty are the perfect
choice for a National Best Friends Day collage!
When you see them together off screen, you can tell that they are good friends -
at least, that's the impression I got within those merely one or two minutes I
met them in Hawaii. They seemed to be very "close". And photos of them give the
same impression. I remember a few other great friendship moments between them
but couldn't find any pictures of those.
Great fan-video highlighting the
special McDanno friendship on H50

JUNE 9, 2016:
Time for some "girl power" with
H50's awesome "Kicka$$ Kono" as fans love to call her :-)
Like all of the main cast members, Grace Park as Kono is loved and admired by
many fans for her strength, beauty, big heart and excellent shooting skills.
She's the perfect Five-0 female and a role model for many women out there! Just
don't shoot anyone, ladies, when you are trying to be like Kono ;-)
I chose the pics of Grace with the ocean because her character Kono is a surfer
- and Wednesday was World Ocean Day (It's actually still Wednesday in HI when
I'm posting this).
Off to work...
After the last collage with Grace as Kono, we continue with pics of her on-screen cousin Chin played by Daniel
JUNE 10, 2016:

H50's "Splendid Steve" would like to remind you to tune in to CBS tonight at 9/8c for "Happy H50 Night" :-)
JUNE 11, 2016: Happy Weekend :-)
Today's new Five-0 Redux blog is
all about "McGarrett Mania" - the fans' love for H50's No. 1 Steve McGarrett
In last week's fan survey, most fans voted for Steve as their top-favorite
character on the show, so Wendie decided to dedicate her new blog to THE man -
and to include some more of the fan feedback about him.
As you all know, Alex as Steve is my personal favorite, too. Steve has the
"perfect mix" of character traits. He can be the tough cookie and born leader he
needs to be when he's fighting the bad guys with his Five-0 team but, at the
same time, he's very caring, sensitive, vulnerable and a reliable, loyal friend
and boss who'll do anything to fight for, save and protect his friends, his team
and the people of Hawai'i that he has sworn to protect. On top of that, he looks
fantastic and has a good sense of humor - he always makes me laugh when he's
teasing Danno - and he often looks funny when he's eating. You just gotta love
this guy! Thanks to his excellent acting skills and talent, Alex has shaped his
character Steve into someone who's loved and admired and whom fans feel empathy
for because when this man shows emotions, you can't help but cry and laugh along
with him. Here's my first collage to promote the blog.
Happy King Kamehameha Day to our
friends in beautiful Hawai'i
Today, there will be a parade and big celebration for this holiday - and
H50's Dennis Chun will participate in the parade according to Wendie. Both
photos in the collage are my own - taken during my vacation in March. I knew
those 360 photos I took within 2 weeks would be great material for collages ;-)
This weekend, H50 fans in Hawaii
can say "Aloha" to the late Jimmy Borges

Hmmm - I wonder if Mark Dacascos
will have a role in H50 Boss Peter's new show "MacGyver"
Mark retweeted this message by Peter: "Very cool MacGyver casting news coming
soon."
That would be veeery cool, indeed! While I have no idea if and when the reboot
of MacGyver will air in Germany, I'm sure US fans would love to see Mark return
to their TV screens on Friday nights ;-)

H50 fans can stop speculating
about whether a former H50 cast member will play a role in "MacGyver"
After H50 Boss Peter announced great casting news to come up soon, fans had
wondered if Mark Dacascos or Christopher Sean etc. might have been cast for
Peter's second upcoming Friday night show. The new cast member for "MacGyver"
is, however, Justin Hires from "Rush Hour". I can't say much about him since I
haven't seen any of his work but he looks like he could be a lot of fun to watch
together with Lucas Till. Here's a short article about him:

While the video is, admittedly, not new but from back when Alex played vampire
Mick on "Moonlight", he's still an advocate of organ, blood and tissue donation.

Julie Benz got to meet Prince
Albert of Monaco and his wife Charlene today at the Royal Palace in Monaco
I think she might have reminded him of his late mother, the elegant and
beautiful Grace Kelly who was an actress, too, before she married Prince Rainier
of Monaco.
Here's a photo of Julie with the Prince & Princess:

Another reason why fans love
H50's McGarrett is their love for the highly talented actor who plays him
The 100th H50 episode was perfect proof of Alex's talent - he took his fans
on an emotional roller-coaster ride with him. I don't know a single fan who did
not love his stellar performance in ep. 5.07 "Inā Paha" (If perhaps).
For more reasons why fans love McGarrett and the actor who brings him to life,

Happy Throwback Thursday with
McDanno in Season 1 to 5 of H50
This was supposed to become a collage about McGarrett as the perfect team
leader, but the pics with the other team members didn't fit in yet. There will
be a second collage which is not quite finished yet.
Fans in Atlanta can welcome H50 Boss Peter who just arrived there
His new show "MacGyver" will film in Atlanta, so he flew directly from Seattle

Happy Hawaii Five-0 Friday to the
US fans with H50 ep. 6.09 on CBS and two late-night repeats on TNT
CBS will show ep. 6.09 "Hana keaka" (Charade) at 9/8c ET/PT. It's the episode in
which Danno goes undercover as a professor!
Here's the Five0 Redux blog about it as a "refresher":
http://www.staradvertiser.com/features/five-0-redux/playing-charades/
On Saturday morning, the following Season 3 episodes will air on TNT:
3 a.m.: Ep. 3.09 "Ha'awe make loa" (Death wish)
4 a.m.: Ep. 3.10 "Huaka'i kula" (Field trip)
For further information about the a.m. episodes, please view my pages about
Seasons 3 and 6.
H50 fans who also love Ian
Anthony Dale's other show "Murder in the First" have to wait another week for
the season premiere
Season 3 will start on June 26 on TNT which is one week later than initially
scheduled.
Here's Ian's post about it:
https://twitter.com/IanAnthonyDale/status/742873121082875904

Head of Entertainment, Glenn Geller, had a lot of fun at the Microsoft speaker
event earlier this week
https://twitter.com/MicrosoftJobs/status/743541163718807552
P.S.: CBS and Peter have also revealed that James Wan will direct the premiere of "MacGyver" - in case you happen to know James and his previous work.
Off to work...
The TV festival in Monaco is over
and Julie Benz is in Marseille to watch a European Championships soccer match
Poor Julie's husband is a soccer fan - not my kind of sport, to be honest. But

Happy Father's Day to H50's
Danno! Today's Five-0 Redux blog is dedicated to Daddy Danno:
http://www.staradvertiser.com/features/five-0-redux/happy-fathers-day-danno/
When I went through my pics to make a collage to promote today's blog, I realized I had so many pics of Danno and his kids that I can declare "Happy Father's Week" - with a Daddy Danno collage (or two) each day of the week. I hope fans are ready for a lot of Danno :-) So far, I have 8 collages ready and still more material from a couple of Season 6 episodes. When I'm done I might just post an album with the collages on the Five-0 Redux Facebook page. Otherwise, the Alex fans visiting my regular fansite might get a "Danno overdose". I do love Danno and the actor Scotty, too, but the No. 1 on this fansite is Alex. He will be in a few of the Daddy Danno collages as Uncle Steve :-)

It's good to see him look relaxed and enjoying his vacation in

biggest fans are living - including Silke, the head of his German Fan Club
(who's been following him since "Moonlight") and myself.

Happy "McGarrett Monday" with
Super-SEAL Steve (Pics from H50 ep. 6.24)
This episode will always remind me of my vacation in Hawaii where I met Alex on
his way to filming this episode at the Hawaii Theatre. Actually, I'm happy that
he wears this dark T-shirt and pants on my photos because they are one of my
favorite outfits on him resp. his character Steve - and so much better than
certain button-down shirts he has to wear sometimes - the ugliest one I remember
was the shirt in ep. 4.01 :-)

Mark Dacascos and Kelly Hu whose
characters were both killed on H50, are alive and well - and will be in
Germany next weekend!
Mark who, of course, played Wo Fat - and Kelly Hu who played the governor's
assistant in Season 1, will both be at the Comic Con in Stuttgart on June
25/26. Get your tickets if you are missing your favorite villain on H50 -
well, hopefully, you won't be disappointed by the fact that Mark is a super-nice
guy and totally unlike Wo-Fat :-)

Happy International Surfing Day
(June 20) or Happy Topless Tuesday!
H50 fans can celebrate both days with these pics of the handsome Five-0 boys :-)
Oh, and no worries - there will, of course, be a collage dedicated to surfer
girl Kono!
H50 Boss Peter will be heading
over to Hawaii soon for the start of filming on July 6 - and he's bringing the
perfect "accessories" :-)
I bet all fans would love to have this towel!
https://www.instagram.com/p/BG5naGyPcms/
Peter has also posted this photo of an H50 helicopter
with the comment "everyone's excited" - And he's so right!
Fans are eagerly waiting for the return of our favorite cast and crew in July.
Although we can't enjoy their work (= the show) until September when the new
Season 7 premieres, it's great to see them back for shooting and at the
traditional blessing ceremony - and to get occasional BTS-photos which are
always welcome!

Peter on what fans can expect in Season 7 regarding McRoll

Yes! CBS has announced the
official date for the Season 7 TV premiere. Five-0 returns on Sept. 23. Mark
your calendars!

JUNE 22, 2016:
The best addition ever to the
Five-0 team: The one and only Lou played by H50's cool guy Chi
Ever since Scotty asked to do a few episodes less each season to spend time with
his family in L.A. and to work on other projects there, fans have been missing
him on the show. While it's impossible to "replace" him for his fans in those
episodes in which we don't get to see him, I think there couldn't have been a
better choice for a new Five-0 member to "fill the gap" left by Scotty's
occasional absence. But Chi as Lou is definitely not a "stopgap" - He's a
fantastic actor and all around great and humorful guy, and his character Lou is
the perfect fit for Five-0. Anyway, I thought a collage with pics of the
(probably) tallest guy on the islands was more than overdue.
Good news can't be shared too
often: Another post about H50's return for Season 7 with the TV premiere on
Sept. 23
It's also the premiere date for Peter's new show "MacGyver" - in case
you didn't notice in my earlier post about the premieres.
https://www.facebook.com/HawaiiFive0CBS/posts/1189580181075456
This includes great pics with Steve & Co.!
And just to make sure that H50
fans do not miss the Season 7 TV premiere of our favorite show :-)

Interview with Daniel about his
work - posted on the Lincoln Center Theater's website
http://www.lct.org/explore/blog/daniel-his-den/
The
new Five-0 Redux blog is about Daniel, his work and his Broadway role in "The
King and I" - TOMORROW is his last show!
This blog includes a lot of well-deserved praise from fans about a wonderful
actor and equally wonderful person who - similar to Alex and other H50 cast
members - is always willing to take time for fans, to take photos and sign
autographs. I will always remember the friendly smile he gave me after he got
off the Five-0 van at the Hawaii Theatre back in March on his way to filming for
ep. 6.24. I just wished I had met the cast at a better time than on their way to
work in the morning. I only asked for a photo with Alex since I didn't want to
be a "nuisance" and didn't want to keep the entire team waiting for the main
four actors. If I had told them who I was and that I'm running fansites for H50,
I'm quite sure that Daniel, Scotty and Grace would have taken the time for
photos with me, too. And even despite the extreme shortness of my encounter with
Daniel, I got the same very positive impression of him that all those fans who
saw him on Broadway and met him after the show, got.

Please note that I corrected the
post above about the blog!!!
Daniel's last performance on the show is TOMORROW (not today). Sorry, I don't
want to keep anyone who happens to be in New York from watching it on Sunday.

JUNE 26, 2016: Have a Sunny Sunday - not too hot though...
Fans of Ian Anthony Dale should
not miss him tonight in the Season 3 premiere of "Murder in the First"
Ian who, of course, plays Kono's hubby Adam on H50, is lucky enough to have
roles on two successful shows. Unfortunately, this means that H50 fans don't get
to see him as Adam as often as they'd like to - but if they love the actor and
his work, they can tune in to his other show tonight on TNT at 10/9c. Since one
of my fan-friends is going through a really hard time and is a huge fan of Ian,
this collage is (primarily) for her. I hope you enjoy it, Sabine ;-)
I'll be back later...
New photo
with Alex, his wife Malia and friends having a little "Hawaii reunion" in Paris,
it seems
The collage was posted by John Esguerra who owns the #808 store in Haleiwa on Oahu's
North Shore - and the brand QualityPeoples. I still wished I had made it to his
store when I was in Hawaii to see if they still sell those "Only good vibes,
please" shirts that Alex has (well, one of them). I need to get one some day!
I'm primarily sharing this photo to prove certain female "fans" wrong who've been
trying to spread stupid rumours about Alex and Malia (I won't say more - those
who've heard the rumours, know what I mean).

Have a good start into the week
with Daniel & Co. behind the scenes of H50
The collage is a little reminder of the latest Five-0 Redux blog about Daniel
who is not only loved by many fans because of his smile that "brightens up their
day" (as fans have told me repeatedly) but also because he's one of the cast
members who regularly post BTS-photos from the set - a fact that is highly
appreciated by fansite admins and fans alike. To find out what else fans love
about the "King of Broadway" Daniel, please read Wendie's latest Five-0 Redux
blog (if you haven't yet):
http://www.staradvertiser.com/features/five-0-redux/fans-confirm-kim-rules-broadway/
This lovable bunch of people will return to work next week
(July 6), so we can look forward to new BTS-pics like these :-)
For those fans who asked if there will be a blessing for Season 7 on the first
day of filming - Well, there has been no "official" announcement of a blessing
but nevertheless I'm 100% sure that there will be one! I just don't know yet if
Hawaii News Now or the Star Advertiser will be there to cover it but I would be
surprised if not.

Just past midnight right now... I have a busy day ahead with an early meeting at work, a long dentist's appointment after work and then I need to find out how my brother is doing after some major 6-hour surgery (Hopefully, he'll be o.k.!). I don't know when I'll have time to post stuff on Wednesday, so I've decided to post several collages right away. They all focus on Daniel as Chin since the latest Five-0 Redux blog is about Daniel and I wanted to have more collages with him to post on the Five-0 Redux FB page. Here we go...
And, of course, there had to be a collage with Chin and his cousin Kono!
And let's not forget the rest of the H50 'ohana...
Back again...
and I'm happy to say that my brother's surgery went well according to my
niece (OR nurse) who had asked the best surgeon in the hospital if he would do the operation - and he did :-)
Thanks to all of you who kept their fingers crossed for my brother and sent
get-well wishes!

Happy "Throwback Thursday" with a
look back at the Season blessings of H50
Fans have asked if there will be a Season 7 blessing on July 6 - the first
day of shooting after the hiatus. Even without any "official" confirmation of
such a blessing, I am 100% sure that there will be a blessing ceremony. It's
become a great tradition for the show, and the cast & crew would never start
into a new season without a blessing. Here's to a truly blessed Season 7!
P.S.: I do not yet know if the Star Advertiser and/or HNN will be there to
report about the blessing but it is very likely.
A wonderful Thank You message
from Daniel - to all those who came to watch him on Broadway and to his
colleagues

A new page about Season 7 of H50
was just added on my fansite!
There is not much on the page yet but, hopefully, there will be some coverage
from the Season 7 blessing next week - and, of course, fans hope that CBS will
announce a date for the annual Sunset-on-the-Beach premiere (SOTB7).
