Lost catapulted Matthew Fox on to TV's A-list. Scott Wolf has made a cozy home for himself in Everwood. However, don't look for their fellow Party of Five grad, Neve Campbell, to follow their footsteps back to the small screen.
"Not at the moment," Campbell tells TVGuide.com. "I'm living in London; my boyfriend's English and I love London. I'm trying to stick with feature films and do theater. I don't really feel like getting into a six-year [TV] contract at the moment, but you never know."
So who's the boyfriend? "I'd rather not say," the very private 31-year-old teases, "and you probably wouldn't know anyway. He's an actor, mainly in theater."
Eh, it was worth a shot. Meanwhile, Campbell has some more movies coming up. "I did a comedy with Danny DeVito, Kathy Bates and Ron Livingston called Relative Strangers, and I have a feeling that'll come out in the fall," she says. "I play Ron's fiancée. He discovers his adoptive parents are Danny and Kathy, who are trailer trash from the South. And thus comedy ensues.
"Then I'll be doing a movie called Partitions in Vancouver and India. It is about the [turmoil] in India when the English pulled out in the '40s and the affect that had on [the country]."
Aside from concerning herself with boyfriends and box-office tallies, Campbell has been working as an epilepsy advocate, specifically promoting The Bill of Rights for People Living with Epilepsy.
"It's a document put together by doctors and people with epilepsy," she explains. "It's helping to educate and empower people living with epilepsy, and lets them know what legal rights they have in the workplace and in their education and in their lives. My cousin Colleen has epilepsy as well as my aunt, Mary. Colleen was diagnosed when she was 18. She was lucky in the sense that Mary had epilepsy and knew how to handle things and was conscious of what it meant. There are a lot of people who didn't know anything about it."

As boozy Bailey Salinger on Party of Five, Scott Wolf sent Jennifer Love Hewitt's pretty li'l head through a windshield. "That's right," he tells TV Guide Online. "Among many other horrible things I was up to back then! Bailey had a bit of a battle with alcoholism."
Now, "whenever I'm in a bar having a drink," Wolf laughs, "I hear, 'Hey, should you be having that?' Usually, I've had a drink or two by the time I hear it, so it doesn't bother me."
Ever wonder why Love's character, Sarah, kept on dating Bailey, despite his dsyfunctional 'tude? Well, duh! 'Cause he was hot. "I'd like to think that's why!" Wolf agrees, then shyly changes the subject. "It's pretty cool when people say how much they miss the show. It was more than just something people would catch every now and again. We had some really intensely loyal fans. We went out before people got tired of us or we became a parody of ourselves." (Take that, 90210!)
Since the Party ended, the 35-year-old Wolf has taken roles on TV (Spin City), film and stage. This week, he resurfaces as a divorced dad lookin' for love in the ABC Family movie Picking Up and Dropping Off (Sunday at 8 pm/ET). In real life, Wolf got engaged to Kelley Scott (The Real World: New Orleans) last May. Will the PO5 cast be at the couple's nuptials this spring?
"Matthew Fox and I have stayed close," Wolf says. "We're really good friends, and I see the most of him. But I still talk to Lacey Chabert and Neve Campbell. So the [Salinger] family is still somewhat intact. They'll all get invited and hopefully they'll be able to make it. So it's shaping up to be a pretty big wedding! It's something you only do once, hopefully, so you might as well have a good party."
