It actually makes more sense if it were ordered from high up. That person, Vicky Drummer, would have the power and not have the pain of actually firing someone...could let FV do the dirty work. That could explain why FV didn't want to meet with her. Maybe he just couldn't face her. Cowardly.

: I just wanted to say that if FV were to be
: let
: go, I would bet that a new EP might want to
: reconsider bringing Laura back. After all,
: they just parked her in France. They didn't
: kill her off. So maybe there still is a
: chance...a small window of opportunity to
: save face and redirect the show.

: Would Genie even want to do it? I guess
: that depends on what the plans were for
: Laura, the commitment, her personal
: situation at that time. It also would
: depend on why they let her go in the first
: place. Was it a budget problem or something
: else? Lots of people move on when contract
: talks stall, but it isn't done with the kind
: of brutality and surprise that Genie just
: endured.
:
: It got me to thinking. Why would Genie have
: so much difficulty with FV? Why would she
: have had problems with JFP? Aside from
: contract negotiations. an EP has the prime
: responsibility to keep production moving.
: Anyone who throws a snag into the wheels is
: a problem. They operate at warp speed over
: there. There is no rehearsal to speak of.
: You get a call to come to the set, you zoom
: up there, shoot your scene, and you're done.
: Someone who requires more attention (hair,
: make-up, wardrobe, etc) could be perceived
: as a problem. It could be something as
: simple as that. So, maybe a new EP who
: would be more tolerant would be able to
: handle that if it were a problem. I don't
: know anything about Genie's situation. It
: just seems so strange that an EP would fire
: a star without any justification, throw his
: writers into a tizzy, and alienate a huge
: fanbase.
