Ellen DeGeneres is about to play ‘Games’ again
Q: I miss “Ellen’s Game of Games.” Will it be back? – Donna Sprague, Temple, Pa.
A: Yes, and quite soon. A special holiday edition of the NBC show airs Wednesday, Dec. 12, then the program officially returns for a new season on Tuesdays starting Jan. 8. Having spoken with Ellen DeGeneres recently, we can confirm that she’s ready to go with the new round, which will incorporate some new games as players again try to keep themselves from dropping out of the competition ... literally.
Q: Is it true that the actor who played Steven has left “Dynasty”? – Anne Conovan, via e-mail
A: It is, at least in terms of his being a series regular. James MacKay was written out of the CW reboot of the serial, with the drama’s plot line explaining that Steven was going to Paraguay to concentrate on the efforts of his foundation. However, a deal was made for MacKay to appear in “multiple episodes” during the current second season of the new “Dynasty,” so it’s possible that he could resurface.
