I was backstage, with both jms and Claudia at the Wolf con where all
this went down. I drove jms around Blackpool. I both heard and saw what went
on, concerning both this and other things involving the cast, who were
pretty stitched up at the end of season four. And it wasn't Warner doing it.
I note the date on his post you've quoted. Just after Wolf.
"Quitting" is something of a euphemism; there is a concept of unfair
dismissal in UK law that would suit very well. In other words, she wouldn't
jump to jms and John, so she got crapped on. She's a tactful and dignified
person. And more important, she wants to work, if not for jms. I come from
an acting family, and it's the truth that you have to gloss over the private
nature of things in public to make sure you get work.
I note that you have not answered my other questions, by the way.

PS: Can anyone tell me who this fuckwit jonfrain is? Not a name I've come
across.
