Ugly Betty: Rebecca Romijn will no longer be a series regular...
This is pretty shocking. Rebecca Romijn, who has done a solid job as transgender magazine editor Alexis Mead on "Ugly Betty" will be reduced to a recurring character when the show returns for its third season next fall.
In an interview with the New York Post over the weekend, Rebecca said: "They made a tremendous amount of changes, especially with the writing staff [during the writer's strike], and while I know I'll be coming back next season, with all the changes, I'm not sure they can take care of my character they way they have been. So I'll be leaving, back in a recurring capacity, but it's time for me to leave and find something else."
"Ugly Betty" won the GLAAD Award for outstanding television comedy Saturday night.

I was kind of shocked about this news as well. I'm surprised there hasn't been more of a ruckus about it. I don't like the sound of actors saying they aren't sure writers can take care of their characters, especially when the character is one of a handful of transgender characters on TV right now. It makes me worried about the new writers.
i love rebecca romijn,she is beautiful girl
