Audra McDonald leaving Private Practice...

In order to move back ton New York full-time. Just announced on her Twitter. Hopefully this means she'll be on the boards again soon. I say good for her--her character never really took off, and the show became a waste of her talents.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

The show is absolutely terrible, but it's nice she had a good paycheck for a while. We'll see what she decides to do next, hopefully it will involve theatre.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

According to this article on aol.com...Audra's heading back to Broadway...

"Sources tell BlackVoices.com that the four-time Tony Award winner will be starring in the upcoming revival of the famous Broadway musical 'Porgy & Bess.'

A rep for the show confirmed the news."

She was barely on the show at all this season, and for storyline reasons I'm sure her departure will be good for Addison.

Aww, that's bittersweet news. I like her a lot, but they haven't given her terribly great storylines, and she's just sort of been..."there," this season. But she is an amazing talent, and I'm sure she'll be welcomed back to Broadway with open arms!

On another note: speaking of Private Practice and certain people, well, being absent: where the heck has Amy Brenneman been? The last few episodes, they added some dialogue briefly in the beginning of the show to state that the character had some reason to be gone.

But last night...there's Pete, there's Naomi, there's Addison...and no mention of their wife/friend/friend, respectively. And with all the "mom suicide" and "Charlotte-recovering-from-rape" going on last night, it was prime material for which the resident emotional psychiatrist could have intervened. Is the actress on medical leave, or some other extended issue? Haven't read or heard anything of the kind (though I may be late to the party, if something was publicized earlier). Her presence is missed.
"There is no use trying," said Alice; "one can't believe impossible things." "I dare say you haven't had the practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." --Alice in Wonderland

She was out of 4x12 and 4x13 because of a medical issue; she'll be back next week in 4x14. She's pretty active on her Twitter account; that's where I cobbled that info together from.

Her presence is missed.

Really? I love Amy Brenneman the actress, but I cannot stand Violet.

/sorry, threadjacking over, carry on.
