he end of this show, i dont see many of the cast menbers, besides bobby to get great jobs
From what I hear from friends who are actors, this career does not come with any sense of job security at all unless you’re really at the top of the food chain, and even then there’s this boom and bust pattern when you can never be sure when (and if) the next project will come along. So I wish every single one of the OUAT actor crew a wonderful and steady career. They got bills to pay, and some of them, kiddos to feed.
Honestly, I think in this case, blaming the middle man (A&E) for what OUAT has become makes most sense to me. They aren’t new kids on the block trying to break into the biz. They ARE the biz. Sure, they have to pitch their projects and hope they get picked up — I get it. But they have a reputation, and hence a certain degree of power. If a lot of the changes in OUAT are happening because of pressure from “above” — or as a result of the audience clamoring for this or that — A&E are, I think, in a position where they could have pushed back. If Bobby is saying that he doesn’t give a hoot about his character, and is in it for the money, then I think OUAT is really and truly done — sure, we might even get a 6th season shambling on, but if you have actors of Bobby’s caliber and commitment, clearly very good at playing complicated, shady characters saying, essentially “whatever,” then you’ve done something really really wrong.
As to the Evil Mouse/ABC execs, they all can get stuffed. Ultimately RG is right, the only thing that matters to that crowd is the bottom line. They sure as heck aren’t in it for the art — or even for the “great entertainment.”
But at least there is fan fiction, S5 re write with Neal and no Hook
Wow, this person is quite talented. Certainly doing a better job than whatever’s coming out of OUAT’s official crackfick central.
