Sorry for past days' posting delays. I've not discussed this before, but recently my father has been very ill and undergone many hospitalizations and surgeries. I've been trying to divide my time between the website and his care. I will be out of town visiting him beginning Wednesday November 26th and returning home Thursday December 4th. I plan to keep DHD coverage as up to date as possible with special attention paid to the holiday box office. Please do not hesitate to contact me by email or by phone during this time. The best way to communicate with me will be deadlinehollywood@gmail.com or my private email if you have it. You can also leave a phone message for me or call my cell phone number. Thank you in advance for understanding. With your help, I will try my best to keep the website going.

Take care of yourself, Nikki. My thoughts are with you and father. Please take all the time you need away from your blog. Your massive and loyal audience will wait.
Sorry to hear about your father, Nikki. Best wishes you and your family. We are praying for you.
Take care of the important things, Hollywood will still be here when your family is taken care of!
Will be thinking good thoughts and hope that your father recovers soon. Take the time you need to take care of your family. What we do is so insignificant in the scheme of themes. Thanks for all you do, Nikki. All the best to you and yours.
Priorities, Nikki. You’ll be missed by us, but you know where you’re needed most.
Godspeed.
Nikki, you have your priorities in order. Your Dad is a much higher priority than Hollywood. My prayers for his recovery.
Hope he gets better and all goes well. Our prayers are with you and your family.
Sorry to hear about your father, Nikki. Thanks for your continuing efforts on the site. Best of luck with it, and have a Happy Thanksgiving. Things will get better.
I’m sorry to hear about your father. My thoughts go out to you and your family. I recently had such an incident in my family.
I wish you all the best.
A Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Best wishes on your dad’s safe and speedy recovery.
From your posting patterns Nikki I was a little worried that you yourself might be feeling under the weather and while I’m glad to hear you’re okay I can empathize with having an ill parent and send my best wishes to you to pass onto him.
Take good care of him and yourself…we’ll all still be here when you get back
Hope your dad gets better! Will be thinking good thoughts. Happy Thanksgiving.
Nikki – our best to your father and we will all be here waiting when you are ready to come back to us.
So sorry to hear about your dad, our prayers are with him. Family
first the rest of us can wait. Hang in there.
Nikki, I’ve been reading your blog for almost 2 years now but only recently decided to start posting comments. You will be missed but I understand the gravity of the situation and will be praying for your father and family over the holidays. God Bless and have a happy Thanksgiving.
Nikki, I’m sorry to hear about your dad. Please take all the time you need to do what’s genuinely important. Strikewatch ‘08 can wait.
Nikki,
Sorry to hear of your dad, family comes first. We’ll all be here when you get back. My best wishes to your family.

And on this Thanksgiving I am thankful that even my online source of Hollywood news has better things to do… because family and friends are so much more important than our petty little industry. Let us not forget that!
You’ve got the right priorities Nikki. All the best for you and your family.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and Dad. That is so much more important than Hollywood “news.”
Nikki — sorry to hear. Thank you for all that you do. You are the one link we have to truthful insider info about the biz. I hope your Thanksgiving goes well.
Family first Nikki. And be sure to try to get some rest. We need you!
Have a good holiday.
I’m wishing you and your family happy and healthy holidays for all.
Nikki,
Prayers for a full and complete recovery for your father. Caring for family is the first priority.
Also take care of yourself during these times. Your family of readers will await your return.
Blessings to all and your families during these holidays.
Tom
From my own experiences, I know exactly what you are going through, Nikki. Every second with your pops is to be treasured. May you find joy with your family over the holidays. And remember this: if good will was a currency you would be one of the richest people in Hollywood…just look at the wonderful sentiments in these posts! God bless.
All the best to you, your family and your father. Happy Thanksgiving, and hang in there.
I’m in agreement with everyone else. DHD should be the last thing on your mind over the next 10 days. Spend the holiday focusing on your Dad and family. I love reading DHD but if my day, and every other reader’s day is a little less interesting, enjoyable and informed we’ll be fine – strike or no strike, what’s going to happen will happen. Thoughts and prayers with you and your family, wishing your dad a full recovery and hoping you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Dear Nikki,
I went through all of this with my mom. God bless you and your dad. You will both be in my prayers.
Peggy Lane O’Rourke
Nikki:
You are in our thoughts and prayers. We are all thinking of you during this difficult time.

So sorry to hear of your father’s illness. He’s lucky to have a devoted daughter like you to take care of him! I’m very impressed that you divulged what was going on with you personally in that way, but I’m sort of honored you did! That speaks to the great relationship you have with your readers.Have a nice holiday and thanks for all you do to keep us informed with the real deal Hollywood goings-on!
I’m sorry to hear about your father. I hope he makes a complete recovery, and that you and your family have a happy holiday.
Wishing your father a very speedy recovery. My thoughts and good vibes are with you and your family.
Your site is invaluable, but family and health, even more so.
Best wishes for your father, and hope your family has a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Best wishes to you and your family.
