There's quite a rant on the FB, started by her husband, of the use of Erin's name on SMASH.
I thought it was a low blow and certainly not true.
Krysta is taking some heat also.

Because it's Krysta's fault she was given lines to say?

Edit: Reading the post I completely agree with him. It was of horrible taste.

While I am very saddened by the cancelation of Smash and the lose of employment of many a friend in the show. I say to you.... Warning! Explicit language ahead. F*CK off Smash! The use of my wife's name in the portrayal that it was presented was TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! To say that my wife's career is still "On a break." F*CK off! Let's mention a Tony Nomination! Lets mention uncountable TV, Movie and commercial appearances! Lets mention that just last year she appeared in two leading roles on BROADWAY! Last but not least! And more important than anything else! LET US MENTION THE TWO WONDERFUL CHILDREN SHE HAS BROUGHT INTO THE WORLD! On a break?!!!! F*CK YOU!

I don't watch Smash. What was/were the line(s) in the show that sparked this? Was there more than just saying she was "on a break"?

God bless Mr. & Mrs. Dilly for bringing two wonderful children into the world. I would recommend that Mr. Dilly hire an English tutor for those kids pronto. They'll be needed some assistance growing up in that environment. !

My god, his grammar/spelling are atrocious.

BUT, I was surprised that the show 'name checked' Erin like that.
Of ALL the people they could have mentioned, where it actually made sense, why her?

Would they be able to sue for slander?

Oh for f's sake. Of course not. SLANDER?

While I agree with him completely, I wish he would have used more eloquent language to convey his message.

...but then again, who cares? There was a total of three people watching the show anyways.

I was surprised by the amount of people telling him they should sue.
Really?

I don't watch Smash. What was/were the line(s) in the show that sparked this?

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Within the context of Smash, a female Broadway performer fears that she may be replaced by another; implying that the director thinks she might not be good enough for the part and that the show is not working on Broadway previews because of her take on the role (the truth is different, but that is not relevant here).

The character's friend tells her they are just rehearsing her understudy to be ready in case she needs to go on. The performer doesn't buy it, as it "happened to Erin Dilly in TMM, just to be replaced by Sutton Foster".

I was kinda shocked they got away with it, to be honest.

What, she wasn't replaced in Thoroughly Modern Millie? Her husband swears she's a major star when we all know differently? I don't think he's really even sorry about "the lose of jobs."

Be happy to be mentioned at all Mr Dilly.

Posted: 5/13/13 at 10:39pm

They verbally lied about Erin Dilly's career by stating it was on a break. The same year Millie opened she replaced Laura Benanti in Into the Woods. I guess it isn't a huge deal but could affect her career.

Did they STATE it is on a break or IMPLY that it is? I don't watch that crap show so I have no idea.

I do know a casting director who may be confused and not even consider Mrs. Dilly for a part if he watched that episode of SMASH, so I will text him to help prevent that from happening and oh by the way ARE YOU PEOPLE EVEN LISTENING TO YOURSELVES???

Posted: 5/13/13 at 10:43pm

They made it clear it was "on a break"

[best12bars]

I'd say Smash's "career" is on a break.

A permanent one.

Posted: 5/13/13 at 10:45pm

And I'd say getting legal terminology from Kristin Chenoweth is a bad idea for the Dillys.

Line by Line

Karen: You don't know Derek like I do. He just wants to make sure you're at your best when we open. Just take the night off, it will be ok.

Ana: You're wrong. He's testing her.

Karen: No, he's not. They're giving you a break.

Ana: You know who else had a break? Erin Dilly in TMM. Sutton Foster went on for her, guess who's still on a break?

Karen: Derek wouldn't do that

OK that's NOT very nice. But her hubby may be overreacting a bit. She's on Twitter cracking jokes about it.
