Stupid Doctor Show

[quesarah]

LONDON - Alex Kingston (news) says she's being axed from "ER" for being too old.

The British actress, who plays Dr. Elizabeth Corday on the long-running medical drama, said she was recently told that after seven years on the show, her contract would not be renewed.

Apparently TPTB are smoking the crack. Yippity skippity.

It's not just that, she was told she was too old for the show, and they wanted to clear the boards to get some younger sexier characters in.

She sounds deeply deeply pissed, from the tone of some of the remarks she's made. And quite rightly so.

Grrr.

To which I might add, at 41, Alex Kingston is quite the sexiest thing on the show. With the possible exception of Susan Lewis, before she started dating FAB.

Yep, I quite agree. Ah well, maybe she'll do some really cool projects now.

I saw her recently in a film on tv, where she was playing a South African gambler, who was trying to get the lead character tohelp her run some scam in a casino. But it really wasn't very good, and was noteably only for Alex Kingston's boobies.

Ah well. Cheers to her boobies, then.
