This explains why Samaire Armstrong was suspiciously absent from the Paley Festival panel for Dirty Sexy Money this week. She's no longer part of the show. At least, she's not a big part of it. This revelation comes from Michael Ausiello over at TV Guide. He says DSM producers chose not to renew Armstrong's contract with the show. She'll appear as a recurring character, as her schedule allows.Remember last year Samaire Armstrong went into rehab and had to suddenly be written out of a script? According to Ausiello, she then appeared in the very next episode so who knows how long rehab lasted. Still, there's no word on whether her personal problems are the reason she's being demoted.
I find this all very interesting. The point of the show is the Darlings and their extravagant messes. She's a Darling and just as important as the rest, right? I think we would forgive the producers if they needed to get rid of Armstrong and recast the part. Or maybe they were just bored with Juliet Darling.
