Oh man, my girls episode hasn't even aired yet and the TWoP L Word board is already alight with people calling out for her Nordic blood! (or for her to come sit next to them!). What you may ask could have these Lphiles calling for my ladies blood, well this quote apparently from a recent interview interview:

Her character will be on the series through the rest of the season, but unlike Shepherd and Matlin, Loken has no plans to return to the show, regardless of whether 'Painkiller Jane' is a hit. She called Chaiken and the other producers and writers 'fantastic,' but said her 'L Word' run was soured by 'the most difficult cast I've ever worked with.' 'I'm not naming names,' she said. 'Let's just start with the fact that it's an entire show of women. And the amount of egos and insecurities and cattiness that can go on with a bunch of women - that's what you get. It attracts certain people that want to do something different in their career, but the girls were tough. You know?' Loken continued.

Personally, I'm in the 'come sit next to me' category (oh, come on at least pretend to be surprised by that!). All of the behind the scenes news on this show has always been more fascinating to me than the actual show, and this season it's been especially fun because of the main casts bitterness with everything Chaiken. Ever since Erin Daniels departure certain cast members have been bitching about how things just arent' the same, pretty much everyone has complained about their storylines, Beals and Holloman are purposefully acting against direction in their quest to get Bette and Tina back together, and everyone has been disgruntled and vocal about their dissatisfaction with the shows ever expanding cast. Not to mention that the cast apparently had absolutely nothing to do with Ion Overman when she was on the show, former cast member Karina Lombard was openly mocked on some season 2 DVDs, and other guest stars not to mention Sarah Shahi (before she and her Shahi's were fully initiated) talked about the fact that it was a difficult cast to integrate into. And this was before their storylines went to shit, Dana died, and the ensemble went from around 7 to 17.

Sounds like a fun work enviroment to me. I'm shocked that Kris didn't find it to be sunshine, lollipops, rainbows and everything that's wonderful.

It's hilarious to me, that with BloodRayne under her belt and unemployment looming in the future that she was like "later bitches!" and asked not be brought back. Thank goodness Painkiller Jane came along though because I don't think I'd have been as amused if it meant that I couldn't watch Kris on my TV every week.

Still, despite all the drah-mah, based on the highlighted parts below I think I'll enjoy Kris's run on the L Word, brief as it may be.

Did she choose her route down the genre road? 'Not really, not really,' Loken said. 'I feel like it chose me.' She laughed, and added: 'I've been this height since I was 18 years old. On 'The L Word' it didn't really matter because we're all the same lying down, and that's what we did for half the show.'

Anyway, I'm glad that my girl is in fighting form thanks to Painkiller Jane because if she encounters a genuine L Word fan on the street there just might be a throw down.

Totally can't wait for this weeks episode!
