*Steps on stool* ATTENTION!! Please read all of the following!
Okay guys first we don't know what is going on with Jorja's contract negotations, we can't put blame entirely on the media because as the saying goes they might write it but you don't have to read it. They see the hits they get and they keep the fire going on the rumors and speculation. -- If its about money, negotations, the actress would give a sum, TPTB counter an amount, they in turn counter an amount, and so on until they agree to a settled amount if they can.
Now in saying that I have asked several times that discussion of any of the actors return or not return be done in the thread for that "Season 8: Returning Stars & Show *NO SPOILERS*" this would include speculation/rumor about contracts (I call it speculation/rumor because I don't know the facts nor do I find it any of my business the reason for negotations). this is about the episode discussion.
NOW before you all say but it ties to her signing her contract or not, no it doesn't, alot of stars can negotate their contracts right into the filming of the next season, back when GE and JF were "Fired" for the goof up that happened, WP, MH, GD, ES, PG were also in negotations, some accepted the terms offered before filming, a couple were going to go past the time frame so they had to sign a waiver saying that while negotating they agree to work.
Right now mentioning the contract problems is one thing but its dominating this thread and it should not be, several have tried to put it back on track to come up empty.
Now why so close to putting up the season finale thread am I saying all this? simple, when the discussion thread goes up, separate out the two discussions. because ep discussion threads will be for the episode and not about the contract problem (which again has its own thread).
Also note that when the season finale thread goes up, this thread will be closed down, and will be let down from the sticky (tack).
