Thanks so much for the link.

She was very genuine, I thought. I'm kinda shocked JW sent flowers and a note. Of course, the real money's on an assistant doing it, but...

And I guess, unless her family is about to starve to death, that pretty much nails the coffin shut on returning as a regular to Ats IF there is a S6. Here's hoping that half-hour comedy comes through.

ETA: Spoiler for 100-----> She makes the 100th ep sound fantastic. There's sex? Hmmm...must be Lindsey/Eve. Dammit!<------

So she was already debating whether to stay or go from the show when she got fired. Hmmm, intersting. Thanks for the link BA.

Well, that's my goal. I just hope it doesn't backfire on me [laughs] where I don't turn down a bunch of great opportunities because one-hour's have come my way but I've just been saying no. It's been a difficult thing because some great opportunities have come and I've just been holding my breath and praying...I'm basically gambling hoping something will come along this season and if not, I don't know what the future holds.
I'm glad she's been getting other offers.

Thanks for posting Tara!

OK some comments about the interview.
  • She's not only diplomatic about the events surroundng her departure but she's probably right about not dwelling on it. I think getting 'let go' was probably the best thing for her at this point.
  • Yay, CC's doing a fourth ep of MM
  • Interesting chance she's taken in turning down hour work in hopes of getting a half hour comedy. The gambler in me appreciates the risk she's taking. I hope it works out for her
  • She's a very cool person, her outlook on life is quite mature and spiritual.

I wasn't sure if I would watch the 100th episode but I guess I will if for no other reason then CC seemed to be really happy with it for Cordy's sake. I don't know if I agree with her but I'll take the chance.

Wow. That's probably the best Charisma Carpenter interview I've ever read. Props to the interviewer for asking great questions and letting CC have her say. And CC is really articulate and open, her personality really comes through. Also, it's abundantly clear that Joss is a complete asshat coward. Sends a fricking note to thank her for coming back for the 100th episode and never actually talks to her? Whatever. Onward and upward Charisma! And did she say the 100th has sex? And love and forbidden love? Hmm.

She is without a doubt a lovely, intellgent, classy woman. And that's all that needs to be said.

Kudos to the folks at SMGfan.com for getting such an awesome interview.

And a fourth Miss Match! Hey...

ETA: I think the sex is referring to Eve/Lindsey. God, why?

But anyway, if Charisma is that excited and passionate about it, I'm willing to give it a shot.

Ack! Don't say that. I really don't need to see any more of Eve's skinny shanks, thank you.

I'm just glad that she's aware of all of the support that we've been sending her way. I'm also glad that she strongly expressed her distaste for the EC! storyline, and she knows that many, many people feel the same way.

Her mom seems to be doing a good job of keeping her up on things...humm....I wonder if that chick at CC.com is her mom???

Could be....

Because I like lists...

10 Comments on the CC Interview

1. She hated Cordy/Connor. Hated it. Welcome to the club Charisma. I believe that in addition to being Cordy, Charisma is also a Cordy fan, and (with some exceptions), very few fans of Cordy were happy about that story.

2. "They wanted to dupe the audience and I guess it just didn't work out very well." Thank you so much for not pretending that the story was some sort of genius move, or that Joss' audience was too unsophisticated or intolerant to "get it". It was a big stupid "gotcha" that backfired big time, never had any more depth or meaning beyond being thought to be "cool" and, in my opinion, contributed in no small part to both CC and VK being shunted off the show.

3. I'm glad she's so positive. She should be.

4. I like that she's going after what she wants (half-hour comedy) instead of feeling like she has to take whatever she can get. I admire that. And while she may be gambling, there's always the trite platitude that without risk, there can be no reward. That being said, I don't think she's actually turned anything down - it was more a "I hope I don't end up turning something down".

5. Yay for CC - being liked by Darren Star ain't a bad thing in Tinseltown.

6. She seemed strangely evasive (but in a good way) about prospects for pilot season. I'm going to take that to mean that she's talking to networks and has some really good leads.

7. It figures that Joss would just leave her a note. While it's a nice move on the surface, in the context of a working relationship that spanned seven years and then ended with her being fired and him being completely incapable of mustering up a single gracious word about it, it's another cowardly act of a cowardly man.

8. I really don't think she's going to be back on AtS after the 100th. And I think she's comfortable with that decision.

9. Every time I read another interview, I come away an even bigger fan. This was no exception.

10. Damn. I had no plans to watch the 100th episode - and now, I think I have to. She made me want to watch it.

Platy summed it up for me.

Question: Where do you think this was taken? Obviously, it wasn't at the 100th ep party because of that note of Donovan waiting for his bath, so where?

But, nonetheless, a fantastic interview. I can't stress that enough.

Where did you pick that up from LittleAngel? I went back to re-read the interview and couldn't find where she said that and I was just curious.



Thanks for the link BAfan. That was a fabulous interview. I agree with Platy's entire list. I hope CC gets everything she wants out of life because she deserves it. I'm so happy she's going to be doing a 4th ep. of Miss Match. Looking forward to seeing her onscreen again.

In her answer to the statement "You don't want to dwell on it." The second line.

Since I haven't done this in a while:

What Platy said.

Oh, and thanks for the link, Tara. This was a fantabulous interview. And I do want to say that yes, like Plat, I think every interview makes me appreciate Charisma more than I did before.

Thanks, BA Fan and SMG Fan. That was, well, fan-tastic!

I just came out of a work meeting feeling incredibly insecure and unsure of myself, and was fighting to remember my priorities in the face of people who seemed far more assured than I am. To be able to read the words of someone who's got similar priorities to mine, and is holding out for what she wants, and is doing her own thing with confidence soothed me and reminded me of what's really important. So thanks, CC. You continue to be an inspiration.
