Rebecca
Romjin to Quit Ugly Betty
4/25/08
Actress Rebecca Romjin is quitting Ugly Betty after the current second
season, claiming new writers on the show have wrecked her character.
Romjin has become a regular castmember since first appearing as Alexis
Meade in the first season of the ABC TV show.
A third series has been approved, but Romjin will only return for guest
appearances - hinting that she has fallen out with new writing staff
recruited after the Writer's Guild of America strike late last year (07).
She tells NY Post's Pop Wrap, "They made a tremendous amount of
changes, especially with the writing staff (during the writer's strike).
"And while I know I'll be coming back next season, with all the
changes, I'm not sure they can take care of my character they way they
have been. So I'll be leaving, back in a recurring capacity, but time for
me to leave and find something else."
