From today's Ask Ausiello:
Question: Are we going to see more of Dell on Private Practice this season? Chris Lowell is so talented it’s a shame to see it go to waste. —DevenAusiello: Believe it or not, we’re going to be seeing less of Dell this season. Sources confirm to me exclusively that Chris Lowell’s episode order has been reduced from 22 to a minimum of 13. Technically, he still remains a series regular though. Conventional wisdom says the move was budget-related, but a Private Practice insider says Lowell wanted more freedom to pursue other projects.
Also, one other quick Dell related thing from this week's AA:
( Read more... )Dear Shonda Rhimes, you suck.
Ugh. The question now is do you still want PP discussion posts, or is it even worth it with his episode number cut and one would assume his episode time still being in the single digits minutes wise (by the way I was bored and did some math and he was only in 10% of the season last year)
ETA: I think for me the reason I'm so irritated is that I see so much potential in Dell as a character and they just seem to be dropping the ball. I am glad that Chris will get to work on other (and probably better) things, however being able to see him on my TV every week (even though it was not a lot of time) was nice.
