I really don't think she'll be returning to WSS but I do look forward to her upcoming album and whatever project she does in the future. I'm sorry this happened to her, but maybe, as she herself has said, it was a blessing in disguise.

Get well soon, Karen!!

She's out for 6 weeks with Natalie stepping in full time. Get well Karen and best wishes Natalie!

So she will be returning?
Natalie will get the full time Anita billing, right?

I hope it doesn't affect her filming for The Good Wife.

Me neither, erinrebecca. I have a feeling that's an easier gig to keep with a broken foot than West Side Story, however, especially since the last thing we know about her character is that she will take Will out for dinner. A dinner scene (or even a bedroom scene) might be harmless for her to shoot.

The season finale of The Good Wife airs in less than two weeks. It's already been filmed. There was an article on one of the entertainment sites about their wrap party about a week or two ago.

Haha, true. TV doesn't happen live like Broadway. I'll remember that next time.

I do wish Karen a speedy recovery. I'm a little surprised to hear (in a good way) that she will be back in a show that requires heavy dancing in six weeks. I remember a few years ago, my mom broke her foot and even after everything was all said and done and she was not in need of crutches or a cast, she still felt some pain here and there when she walked which eventually went away on its own.

6 weeks is wishful thinking. I wouldn't be shocked if it ended up being more like 8-10.

Why are they making it sound like Cortez isn't the official temporary replacement?

My guess would be that even though it's a sure thing, the replacement contract is probably still being negotiated and hasn't been signed yet.

I concur with AdamGreer. (Which is becoming more common!)

Well, if it's 6 or so weeks, and she was supposed to be leaving sometime in June, is it possible she just won't come back at all?

I hope she comes back, even just so she gets some closure. Well, if she does return, I'll be there to support her!

On a side note, for all of you haters who are posting stupid comments about the situation, I didn't create the thread for that, I created it to be informative to fans of Karen. Have a little respect!

1. Public Forum -- you really can't control who says what.
2. Have you BEEN here on BWW. We're all about the snark.
3. SOMETIMES a long absence will extend the contract on the other end.
4. Time will tell.
