SPOILER? about Hotch and how Ed Bernero really feels about Mandy...

When will the Criminal Minds producers loosen up Hotch? — Roly
ADAM: To hear executive producer Ed Bernero tell it, they don't need to loosen him up at all. "We all believe that Hotch's stoic nature, his strength, his resolve, is one of the glues that holds the show together," Bernero says. "His unflinching portrayal of a true-believer G-man allows all the other characters to be a bit eccentric...  because there is a representation of the real FBI in Hotch." That said, Bernero promises the show's 100th episode will give fans a completely different view of Hotch.

  I can't find the exact article, but I read the other day in TV GUIDE that Ed Bernero will never work with Mandy again after he failed to show for the season 3 table read.  He also said that nobody on the cast misses Mandy and that Mandy really hurt the whole team at CM.  Basically, he had nothing nice to say.  When I find the article or link, I'll post it.

I find the Mandy comments interesting. I makes me think of how John Barrowman came out about two years after working with Christopher Eccelston on the first new season of Doctor Who and said Chris was really a stick in the mud, basically, and was horrible to work with and he enjoyed working with David Tennant much more enjoyable. Although, Ed's comments are less personal than John's and indicate Mandy wasn't very well-behaved professionally.

Maybe they weren't allowed to say anything at the time, but it kind of ruins the show(s) a bit for me to hear there was tension off screen. I'm not saying everyone has to be happy go lucky 100 percent of the time, but still.

Not sure how much tension there was before he left. Maybe some because MP was just kinda intense to work with. But when somebody says "see you in an hour at table read" and then never shows up and quits, that's gonna introduce some tension.

Oh, no doubt. When someone starts behaving unprofessionally, there's bound to be tension.

i never knew barrowman said that about eccleston 8<. too bad cause i think he made a brilliant doctor. tho no one beats tennant. tho now that you said this, i can totally remember the doctor/jack harkness having some weird tension between them on the 1st season. always thought it was just part of the acting, but maybe there was something else too.

totally off-topic. sorry.

Continuing the OT for just a moment...

If I remember the article right, John basically said Chris was a really intense actor and continued being intense and broody after work and wasn't up for socializing (how much of that is true, I don't know, but he does seem like a kind of intense person to me, but not in a bad way). He said David was basically more fun and lighthearted. What got me is this article came so long after John had worked with Chris that it just felt so childish.
