Oh No!

According to Ausiello, Merrin Dungey is going to be replaced on Private Practice (yep, that show name still makes me cringe). This is very upsetting to me. She's being replaced by a Broadway actress who is apparently pretty awesome, but I still think that there is no replacing Merrin. She's fantastic. And Private Practice's lack luster debut can hardly be blamed on her. Stiff acting plagued the entire cast--Taye, Tim and Amy included. Oh and the talking elevator wasn't helping anything either.

And does this mean that now I'm never ever going to see a Francie/Piz hook up? That's depressing.

Silver lining: maybe Merrin can find a better role on a better show. For example, she'd be fun on Heroes. Or Lost. Merrin could be a really scary Lost villian. She could also out-desperate all the desperate housewives. She'd be good on Judy Greer's new show too--they'd get along great. See? It's so easy to find roles for her.
