The Good Wife News and Media Thread #33 - Because we never get enough of the Kings having fun
 

Sorry about the bitter title but it just couldn't be helped today :lol:

Reposting this here

Yeah. They're so funny. :rolleyes:

I was disappointed though. She doesn't have a show, she has a development deal, which means she has to stay available (usually it's a 3 year deal) just in case FOX gives the greenlight to one of the projects she likes, if any. And it doesn't mean any of them will make it to the screen

TFTNT!

Oh no, that's too bad :(

I know! I thought she had a show but from what she's saying now, they're still in the development phase of the deal, not of a show.

Gillian had one for 4 years with NBC. They never gave her a script she liked so what happened? She ended up as a supporting in that crappy Crisis because the deal was running out and she had to do something with them. :look:
Sure, she got the part in Hannibal because of the connection with NBC but it's not exactly a lead and she couldn't be in any other US show while she was under a development contract with NBC :pout:

Damn, Archie deserves better!

That sucks.

You know I love her in Hannibal and finally there's going to be more of her, but yeah I can see how she got her hands tied :(

Let's just hope they'll find her something she likes.

I think she would have been happy with her part on Hannibal as part of her deal. It's a great part, even though it's not a lead.

Anyone know will Archie return to The fall? Any more BBC projects in the works? They ought to give her her own show immediately.

I just can't read anymore heartfelt letters etc from the Kings.

Thanks for posting those interviews Kiki :)

She said it depends on the script and the schedule. I hope they write her back in but I don't know what the show is going to be next season.

BIG spoiler alert on this one

If you're interested in the part where they asked her "co-stars" to say which was their favorite scene and not in the description of all the Kalinda scenes in the episode :rolleyes: there you go:

:high_five:

Oh Christine. If there was any justice you and Archie would both leave for your own spinoff (and take your husband too), and you guys would be getting all the screentime.

Also, in my headcanon, she is expressing that this is how Archie should have been treated. Of course, IMO, it's because CB is so smart and talented that she would want to work with AP and not feel threatened by her.

It should have been.

Margulies: I should let Danielle take this one. Thoughts?

ETA:
I really like the show but they could use Archie a lot better. Though that scene she was self conscious about, I really liked! Gillian Anderson is the real brazen one of the Fall, and she seems to be enjoying every minute. But the two have good onscreen chemistry, I hope they can build more into Archie's role, perhaps with her character's friend's storyline.

I wonder if RK is going to have to comment at some point because the media is now running with it, unsurprisingly

Kalinda and Alicia’s final scene on The Good Wife was utterly bizarre - Vox

:high_five:

Obviously whatever happened, the cast couldn't take sides but the expressions of professional admiration and personal fondness are obviously in support of Archie. Even Josh twitted, unprompted, and he was under no obligation to do so

I think so too. She didn't have many scenes in S1 but they were more effective. It was all about building a human connection for Stella.

Hopefully although now that the Xfiles is getting a mini season, I don't know when or where The Fall will be shot.

That's such a nice gesture. They had such a wonderful and rare chemistry, a hot male/ hot female combination where it genuinely seemed their friendship was platonic, but still uncommon.

Yes and she has an increased role in Hannibal too. But I hope Gillian continues with The Fall, Jamie Dornan is great in that and I presume his newfound popularity in other ventures will make ratings a sure thing. it's nice to see her with the lead role she deserves. I think one reason Archie was partly underused was because of her other commitments in the US, so I hope she gets more to do now.

Of course The X files are possibly looking for young blood if they plan a full fledged reboot down the line, and I think Archie would be perfect, but its likely too much to ask for (and too many worlds colliding).

:nod: as rare as female friendships are, real male/female friendships are now almost unheard of on tv. Will had two. And Archie and Josh always seemed so comfortable around each other.
Thankfully the show didn't have time to ruin that just like they ruined the Cary and Kalinda friendship.

It's very possible. If she can't be in it, I hope it's for a real project in the US.

:lol: well her contract is with FOX so who knows? :D
