It is an article from November 16, 2003. It's a summary of quotes from Don Bellisario from a July 2003 press conference. Most of it is about NCIS, but scroll down to the last long paragraph, and you will find...
Bellisario praises the work of his team and expresses approval of the good time they're having making the show. A good working environment on "NCIS" might make it easier to add a third series to his workload. Bellisario has had conversations with Universal Studios about reviving "Quantum Leap." He envisions a new series with a young woman leaping through time, guided once again by Dean Stockwell.
"It's an all-new show. It's more of an update, more hip, although that was pretty hip for its time," Bellisario said.
And sometimes, with shows like "JAG" and "NCIS," it's hip to be square, too.
This is the first *real* info about the new QL to come out of the *real* source's mouth.
As far as we know, Dean isn't actually doing much besides guesting on JAG (which has only been once this season so far). I betcha Dean and Don have been talking about the new QL ever since it was first announced. Deborah Pratt confirmed that the IMDb entry for QL:BLF was set up by the co-producer, Trey Callaway. So... the summary on there must really be a real summary. The quote in this article from Don seems to confirm the part of Al helping a female Leaper.
I wonder if Don got to talk with Dean and Scott together sometime? I believe Enterprise and JAG are both shot near each other. The guys could have easily gotten together one day for lunch and decided that Scott could cameo in the new QL and Dean could co-star. Dean *has* been looking to do another weekly series. And if all he's truly doing is JAG at the moment... that's not much to be doing... meaning he's not really committed to anything right now.
I think Brian had a good idea--perhaps Sci-Fi will decide to release an official announcement of QL: A Bold Leap Forward during the Leap Day marathon. If that isn't perfect timing, I don't know what would be.
