“WeHo” Web Series Premieres!

Move over Melrose Place, 90210 and Desperate Housewives, the first webisode of the online soap spoof "WeHo" has arrived and it is a hoot!

With over-the-top writing and acting, the series written and directed by Nick Arnzen is a real treat.

It stars Matthew Montgomery, Steve Callahan, James Brandon, Elizabeth Cava, Mark Colbert, Joshua Wolf Coleman, Paul Denniston, Steve Hasley, Molly O’Leary, Scott Presley, Adrian Quinonez, Devin Sidell, and Selina Smith.

WeHo is filled with shirtless gym trainers, same-sex power couples, battling twins, murder and, of course, a bitch diva to end all bitch divas. All of the action is set against the backdrop of West Hollywood.

WeHo started out on stage ten years ago and was revived last year. The idea is to dramatize what it would look like if Aaron Spelling tried to do a gay soap.

Steve Callahan, so good in the gay indies "East Side Story" and "Nine Lives" and on stage in "Corpus Christi," is the only cast member that has been in every performance of every incarnation of every episode of "WeHo." He plays the part of Gunther and is first seen wearing nothing but a towel.

In all, seven webisodes of the show (6 – 9 minutes each) will be shown online eventually.

Here is a LINK to the show’s Facebook page and below is the first webisode itself. Enjoy!
