[quote name='Irina's Ho' date='Dec 15 2004, 07:16 PM']Lena has stated repeatedly in many interviews that the travelling and separation was difficult.[/quote]
I keep hearing this, but she does accept movie roles, which do require the same kind of travel requirements and more substantial time requirement than a guest appearance on a TV show. We are no longer talking about the rigors of a cast assignment.

Actually, I understand that they offered everything that was asked and they were turned down. Ms Olin says she didn't care to reprise the role and I'm willing to accept that. I don't consider that she owes us anything because her contract did not require it; that said, if I were an actress and I signed on to a continuing role in a series, I would do so with great care, considering that the character would have a potentially long life. I don't think that Ms Olin necessarily has to feel a responisbility to this situation, but if I were in that same situation, I would. I would have to (at the very least) offer the crew an opportunity to write the character out gracefully. Am I disappointed in Ms Olin? Sure. However, I will defend her decision. It was hers to make. I refuse to agree that I am "trashing" her. No doubt, however, her most ardent fans will disagree, and I can live with that.Too often we the general public feel like actors owe us something. They don't. It's their job. She did what she was hired to do. If the monkey mucked up the negotiations, too bad.
