[ I'll keep this anon (since I have tried to talk to you off anon many times before and you hadn't answered). This is on the topic of Lauren though. What happened? I heard rumors about it but never read into it? If she's leaving, how do you think they'll deal with all that? And also, what's the new show she's on? ]
You probably didn’t mean it to come off this way but the part in the parentheses was super passive aggressive so I’m going to address that too. I am sorry, but it’s also stated in my rules and on my blog that I’m a highly selective, private, and low activity blog. I do that for my own sanity. I have a very busy life outside of rp and for the past year I’ve barely had the time to get online, which is clear in the decline in the number of replies I actually get done. I was actually just talking about this with someone, but some of the reason I’ve barely been on Maggie is because my drafts kept piling up and I felt guilty and stressed so I avoided her blog altogether. While I don’t mean to actively ignore anyone, I’ve already been struggling to keep up with the few threads I have so the passive aggressiveness was not appreciated.
In terms of Lauren, nothing is set in stone yet but she may walk away from the show. Her contract expired and in renegotiations for a new contract she asked for a pay increase that’s comparable to what the male actors on the show get paid. It’s well known that the actresses get paid significantly less than the actors on the walking dead. Because AMC responded with a small pay increase that wasn’t close to what she was asking and Lauren rejected the offer she’s now free to consider taking on other work and several offers have been extended to her to star in new shows that are still in the pilot phase. I’m assuming if she did leave they’d just kill of Maggie.
