Is it due to what she considered the Gizzie fiasco? We know Gizzie has a lot of fans, but I never thought she does, and she seems to blame it all on George somehow.
| I think it's more ABC who blames him for the backlash rather than Shonda. She did try to pair him with Lexie and looked forward to them. The network, seeing the ratings slip shifted the blame to TR because of his sexuality. Notice that topic is raised more exclusively in the media than amongst fans. When it is I realize it's more in general entertainment sites like US Weekly, which is tabloid fare, but in show-specific forums it's barely uttered. Even in TWoP it's hardly mentioned in conversation.

I wish she would speak out.
| I do too. The one place I thought was completely unnecessary to delete George was on the writer's blog. Most people felt "What a Difference a Day Makes" was one of George's finest moments and TR greatest perfomrance in the series. Yet he's referred to in passing and almost in an admonishing manner. Even if phasing him out for the cliffhanger was her intention doing so on her site was overkill.

It's too bad because of all the characters, George had the most potential left unexplored IMO.
| Many did want to see him recover and have a happy ending, including a lasting romance. Alas ABC now has totally disregards good guys.

| Heehee, it happens. We're such fangirls. The next thread title should be "Because he's completely transformed two letters in the alphabet for us." Wow. I expected Detroit to have road rage because that city has plenty of rage in general but Minneapolis was a surprise.

Ugh Perez sickens me he is no good role model for other homosexuals and he could be since he is in that Hollywood gossip world.
| That's the dark side of gossip. While I it can be fun when taken lightly it's also a source for people to cast judgment on others and that describes Perez. If celebrities don't conform to his exact ideas he denigrates them terribly. You're right he could've been a role model with the attention he gets in the media. Then again would it have ever chosen him if he wasn't a train wreck.
Now onto happier matters. TR is headed to Broadway! He's set to star in Lend Me a Tenor starting February 2010. Cindy, Matt Logan, and anyone nearby NYC can have their chance. It's going to be directed by Stanley Tucci, whom I adore. The reading had luminaries such as Tony Shalhoub, Alfred Molina, and Marian Seldes. I hope they join.
Sorry, Pia, I guess your stuck in the middle. We have to appeal in a Steppenwolf production.
RIALTO CHATTER: T.R. Knight Officially Attached To 'TENOR', Tucci To Direct, Opening On Broadway February, 2010
Here's detailed info on the casting of Parade. My British friends tell me Lara Pulver is on the current Robin Hood series.
Pulver, Berresse, Hoff, d'Amboise And More Join Knight in CTG's 'PARADE', Previews Begin 9/24 (Updated)
This makes it the second reading that has turned into a full-fledged production. I'm proud of TR and was always confident he's smarter than some will give him credit for.
Thanks, Marie, for the compliment. |
