Lively Gang

	IAN MURPHY Managing Editor Ian's best friends as a teenager were Scott Summers and Jean Grey, so he never quite got over Jean's death in 1983. He also believes that the people in Sunset Beach and Desperate Housewives are real and that like Mark Grayson his Dad is just waiting for him to hit puberty so he can tell Ian that he's really an alien possessing tremendous super-powers. Ian may be 32 but he refuses to rule out the possiblity that he's a late-bloomer.
