Do you mean Vassy?

Yes, and it's not the first time I've made that mistake. I seem to have a mental block about typing her name for some reason and it always comes out Ashley! It reflects badly on me and not her! I've corrected the error and appreciate you pointing it out.

By the way, I'm also a huge Battlestar Galactica fan, which is where I'm assuming your pseudonym comes from. By your command!

I watched both and loved the "cheesy" original. I once interviewed Lorne Greene a few seasons after it went off the air and let's just say, he wasn't too pleased to talk about it.

But unlike many critics, I thought the ending of the second version was perfect. A lot of people hated it. But holy frack, not me. I still think it was a great finale. 

She's been on a big family vacation in Greece, according to her Instagram.

She hasn't been on her afternoon radio show on iHeart for at least four weeks, with Robin Gill and Amanda Galbraith taking her place, Question Period disappeared when the House rose for the summer and, while I don't get CTV News Channel, I'm betting she's been absent from her daily show there, too. 

Other than the breaking story a few weeks ago about the Prime Minister's separation from his wife, when she made a special appearance on her own radio show, she hasn't been on since. This isn't a complaint, really, but if she has a contract that essentially gives her the same time off as our politicians, I would love to get a deal like that! (Even the late Johnny Carson, who always seemed to be off The Tonight Show towards the end of his reign, might have envied her vacation.)

Hopefully, she'll be back soon. Her substitutes have been fine, but she brings experience and knowledge to her show that can't be duplicated. 

This is week three.  It seems like more because she did breaking news on TV on one of her last days and took a day to interview James Cameron recently as well.  Robin Gill did week one and Amanda Galbraith did last week and is doing this week.  She is back Monday.  I look forward to a straight news program again without Amanda Galbraith's political opinions coloring every topic or Robin Gill having to cut everyone off after asking a question that requires a long answer with only 25 seconds left until a break.  Vassy has quickly proven to be extremely good at live radio.  The show isn't the same without her.  I wish talk radio offered more straight news shows like hers.  I haven't missed an episode.
