Hello again!!!!  It's been a long two weeks for me - very little notice by my employer and off I was sent to Asia on business!  If anyone ever gets a chance to go to this part of the world grab the opportunity!

Anyways, enough excitement over travel, at least for me.....now on to discussing Alexei!

There has been a few articles discussing the television serial "My Hot Ice" that Alexei is in -

"The film crew of the series "My Hot Ice" which will be broadcast on 1st channel, have been experiencing troubles.  The work on the 100 episode series is mostly completed but unforeseen circumstances brought problems to the production.  Figure skater, Alexei Yagudin underwent an surgery to remove his appendix.  The old joint injury was also aggravated, and as such the director Vladimir Filimonov found it necessary to arrange around these circumstances." 
The article goes onto to say that Anna Bolshova (plays one of the main roles) presented several issues with the production - fees, conditions, costumes - as a result the actress made the decision to leave the project.

The site "Theater" provides an overview of the series -
