Mary Beth Evans to ATWT exec: "I made a mistake"

[Andre]

TheRecord.com Emmy fan report:

[Soapsuds]

Oh wow...does she say why it was a mistake?

[Soapsuds]

Btw...how long is her contract at Days?

[Andre]

According to Jason47, it was two years until June 2008.

[bellcurve]

WOW! That's kind of a bitchy thing to say.

[IMissAremid]

LOL. And she is the actor promoting Days on "Soap Star"?

[Soapsuds]

How can that be bitchy?

[Keith]

Very unexpected. I mean, given the state of things at ATWT (though they seem to improving slightly), could she expect any better as Sierra? And on top of that, she's promoting Soap Star for 'DAYS'. Ouch.

Can't help but wonder if S/K won't last their contracts. Sad.

Of course it comes from a gossip page and is not any sort of direct quote. It could be pure rumor.

[bellcurve]

It was a slam against the show she is currently contracted to.

She's like, "I wish I were on the East Coast with you guys getting Emmys. Instead I'm in LA on this crapfest show that is teetering on the brink of cancellation."

If you tell your old employer you made a mistake in switching jobs, that means you want your old job back.

[Keith]

Hopefully this is a rumor, and was taken out of context somehow. Oh, gossip!

[Andre]

The Record is the local Kitchener-Waterloo newspaper (in Ontario, Canada) and isn't a gossip page. This was a fan's report of the event, and she overheard it. So unless she is outright lying, I believe it.

[Ponz]

I find this hard to believe considering she was recurring at ATWT and had to commute to NY for taping. And even though S&K's story has sucked, she's still received decent airtime and gets to work with a close friend in SN. It's possible she mentioned missing her ATWT co-stars and this person twisted her words.

[bellcurve]

How do you twist the words, "I made a mistake"?

[GBB]

I'm with Ponz. Mary Beth has talked before about how much she hated having to commute for ATWT and be away from her family. She loved the show, just not the fact it was in NY.

That, combined with the fact that it simply isn't in Mary Beth's personality to complain about a show she's on makes me think that this bit of gossip was misheard or taken out of context. It could have been a joking remark, or the context could have completely changed how it was read. We just don't know.

I hate that she's going to get ripped for somethig she may not have even said.

Stephen on Mary Beth, the night before the Emmys: ""I count my blessings every day for Mary Beth because she is just the happiest person on earth. And you know, even if she's not happy, she fakes it. She is just so fun to be around and so uplifting."
