Rachel Confirms s7 Casting Spoilers

 


I'd like to take this opportunity to say that whether or not you loved/hated Ashley Seaver, Rachel Nichols as an actress is a human being who did not deserve to be sidelined liked this. She obviously loved her job and her co-workers, and is justifiably upset about this. 

CBS pulled the same stunt with Rachel that they did with AJ and Paget last year. Please keep that in mind. CBS might have fixed one of the symptoms by bringing AJ and Paget back, but they have in no way solved the problem of treating their actresses as disposable.

If you can, please send Rachel some love on twitter.

This. So much.

They focus more on the male characters and treat the actors better than they have treated any of the actresses.

NONE of the male actors have been in jeopardy whatsoever. Thomas hasn't signed a contract yet, but CM wants him back. They would never attempt to write off one of the male characters, and that's what disgusts me.

Reid's headaches were brought on specifically because they thought they were going to lose him at one point. Messer said so herself.

They thought the actor was going to leave. It had nothing to do with any person higher up wanting his character removed. So, two totally separate issues.

True.
