Paget tweet

I know they say that's how the business goes... But it's still a bit unsettling... I want her to be on the show because she wants to, not because she HAS to. Thoughts?

I think it's bull that they're still jerking her around. :/

I just want Paget to be happy with whatever she chooses to do.

And I adore her for being blunt and straight-forward about this whole mess--her past few tweets, and going back to her "financial reasons is bullshit" tweet from last summer.

Very disturbing and sad. I love Paget, but I guess after how they screwed her and A.J. over, she's bound to feel angry about what went down. I hope she'll be ok with it once she's back...

It breaks my heart that Paget, after basically being discarded by CBS, is now being forced to come back to the show, while Rachel Nichols, who wanted so badly to come back next season that she cried when she was let go, isn't getting the chance to.

i honestly think this side of it is none of our business. I just want to enjoy the hour i see on TV every week and let the real people involved deal with the behind the scenes stuff.

I feel like this whole thing might come to bite CBS in the ass, at least when it comes to the next round of contract negotiations. The show does make them money, and if actors decide to walk out, that could end up hurting them.

That really does suck that she is being forced back to CM instead of wanted to return to the show.

ngl, that tweet freaked me out a bit that maybe this is only like a 1 season temporary thing and she'll be gone asap. which is kinda selfish, I know, but I can't help but want my favourite around.

I think that the organization of the tweet is really weird. It's like... loveangerlovelove. I don't quite get the placing of the sentence -- it would make more sense for the anger to come first and then the love, I guess.

Meh, me and my writeryness.

Also, Seaver leaving makes me incredibly sad. They finally made me care about her (and ship her with Gina from the spinoff), and wham! No more.

CBS is full of assholes. Seriously.

Just break contract and leave then, if it's such a hard life. Your coming back is the reason I'm not watching it anymore anyway, so that would just delight me.

I still miss her. I don't like that new girl.

Does anyone know what she's responding to with "Oh guys, no"? It sounds like it would be part of a conversation but there are no previous quotes on this topic or anything. I'm pretty much puzzled and upset by this tweet. I want Prentiss back on CM but I want Paget to do what's best for her and makes her happy. How can they force her back on? Surely her contract was over after she did "Lauren"?

I hate that everyone's been crapped on in one way or another. It's honestly making me just not want to watch the show at all anymore. :(

It sucks. Like it has been said I want Paget back because I miss her character and she brings a lot to the show. She is a great actress after all... but she is also a human being and I definitely wouldn't want her back if that's not something she wishes to do.

[bellacortez.livejournal.com]

If she could just be straight forward (a bit more, lol) and tell us whether or not she really wants to stay...

I mean she may be pissed because ok she wanted to come back but they never asked her and instead jumped to the ultimatum...
Or...
She may be pissed because it wasn't on her plans to come back and they jumped to the ultimatum...

If she could be straight maybe we could do something about it. Other petition or whatever... LOL (im starting to love those xD)

Idk... it just makes me sad this situation.

I feel very bad for Paget but I dont know if her initial 'aggressive' tweets were the right thing to do. I know she was pissed and rightly so, and I know she is good for saying what's on her mind politics and PTB be damned. But I think she inadvertently hurt a lot of fans, not me particularly, and then had to clarify.

I figured when she was 'optioned' she was being forced back in. As everyone was initially celebrating she stayed quiet. And then she got angry. So some thought she was angry at the fans, the show, her cast/family, etc and not just CBS suits. I love Prentiss and her coming back will get me to at least give Season 7 a try but Paget might do better just to stay off Twitter with the whole messy, sordid thing.

And how long is she optioned for anyway? Is it two seasons like AJ or can they just let her go again at the end of Season 7? People in the know, Erica, Paget, etc, are talking but not really saying anything. All of the backstage shenanigans kinda turn me off from becoming a fan of the show I love again.

This whole thing confuses me.

I've never heard of people being "forced" into contracts. If you want to go, you go. I guess it's possible that their "force" was something like, "we're going to make it difficult for you to get work elsewhere", which is just kind of ridiculous. If that's the case, that truly sucks. I've always appreciated Paget's honesty...

HOWEVER,

I feel like that entire tweet was so weirdly passive-aggressive. "Oh I totally love being here. I mean, I'm being forced to be, but it's ok!!" I dunno, that doesn't make me feel comfortable, as a fan. If she were truly 100% happy to be back, why even mention being "forced"? She wouldn't be "forced" at all if this was what she wanted to do, if you get me. I dunno, I feel like she opened a can of worms with this.

I think Paget loves the work but hates the job. :/ Corporations of any kind are the ultimate bosses from Hell. Poor thing.
