| From Ausiello's live TCA press tour blog, ABC day two:
Quote:
SAMANTHA WHO?
2:03 pm: Show: A- Christina Applegate: A+ Sookie: A
2:07 pm: Exec producer Donald Todd says Applegate's Samantha character -- who suffers from retrograde amnesia -- will never "fully regain her memory. She'll recover a little memory at a time."
2:08 pm: Barry Watson "kinda had a feeling [What About Brian?] wasn't" going to be back. He adds that he's not all that bummed. "I didn't really like those people much. This is a much better group." I think he's joking.
2:09 pm: Melissa McCarthy says she was shooting the Gilmore finale when the Samantha opportunity presented itself. "I didn't know what I wanted to do [next]. And I was nine months pregnant, so I wasn't thinking too clearly," she recalls. "But then I read the script and I thought, 'I could give that a go.'"
2:17 pm: Jean Smart, an absolute gas as Samantha's narcissistic mom, thinks a 24 return is unlikely. "I don't assume Martha will be back. But she's not dead."
2:21 pm: A reporter, clearly hoping to get into Applegate's pants tonight after the ABC party, asks the producers if they're worried she's too good an actress for this show.
2:22 pm: McCarthy seems less than gung-ho about the prospect of a Gilmore reunion pic. "It might be fun to go back. It would have to be something special. It was an [amazing] seven years, but I think it ended itself."
