The two interviews I’ve seen (the most recent being MR on the Today Show shortly after the debut) indicated that KS and MR got along fine. I believe MR talked about them going out for drinks. As far as the rumour, I also took note that the Roadrunner blog entry did not contain any quotes from Katee herself, just other people’s interpretations.

If KS leaves the show, it may indicate that the whole storyline with Eurotrash, Anthros Sr., and Sarah will be jetisoned. It certainly seems as though a fork in the road has been taken with regards to that part of the story. Anthros Sr. has been irrelevant so far and Eurotrash hasn’t been seen since he told Anthros they had a lot of work to do. Apparently that work had nothing to do with BW.

KS has a loyal cult following on BSG, but she is not a huge Hollywood star (yet). I cannot believe she would be anxious to walk from a primetime network show, knowing that BSG was in its death throes. Especially since David Eick made her who she is today. I can understand, however, that she would not necessarily be pleased with the BW product.

I may be one of the few who doesn’t feel that Sarah Corvus is the best part of BW. In fact, I think the best episodes to date have been Sarah-free, including the series-best “Trust Issues”. This isn’t a reflection on KS, it’s just that her character is too unrealistic for my taste, more suited to a comic book than a spy drama. I would much rather see BW branch out into a serious action show than a weekly face-off between Jaime and Sarah, although, so far, action seems to be a 4-letter word as far as the writers are concerned.

BW has much work to do. I don’t think Sarah’s absence will be the ultimate tipping point.

I agree JoL, I think (or at least hope) that there was a misunderstanding in the reporting of Katee’s disappointment in the show! As Page 48 points out, all previous interviews featuring the pair suggest that they get on rather well. Also, having known of Michelle Ryan for a few years now, I just can’t imagine anyone having a bad word to say about her. Of course, one can never truly know until you meet a person!
Haha, I think you’re right about “Mr. Stitches’” work having NOTHING to do with BW, Page 48! Perhaps it’s related to the spin-off show that Isaiah Washington is rumoured to be doing next year, lol! More evidence of what happens to the direction of a show when it passess through too many different hands. Good shout about KS not being that ‘big’ in Hollywood yet. She does indeed have a massive cult following but it would seem bizarre that she would risk ‘cutting off her nose despite her face’ by distancing herself from the show and a fellow co-star. Then again, I’ve been led to believe that she is quite the rebel. Still, I doubt that she said what she’s been rumoured to have said about MR. Incidently, I’d love to be a fly on the wall for that meeting she’s got planned with the producers!
Jim, I agree with you - it would be an embarassment to the producers if KS left the show, although I do think the show would miss her. I think that she’s been great in her limited appearances, and I always got the feeling that she could offer more in a better framework.
