OT: More Aly TV news

["Alyssa" <hot_chocolate71@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's some more news I found on why she wasn't on "In the Game" 
anymore.

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" co-star Alyson 
Hannigan's latest stab at becoming a network television sitcom star 
has lasted less than two weeks. ABC confirms that the actress has 
departed the comedy "In the Game" over creative differences. 

Earlier this month, Hannigan signed on for the Jennifer Love Hewitt 
series playing the best friend of Hewitt's character, a sports 
television producer who becomes an on-air star. Originally developed 
for last fall, "In the Game" has been undergoing a number of changes 
and as the second pilot was being conceived, Hannigan's character 
went in a direction that didn't interest the 30-year-old actress. 
"Alyson Hannigan came on into a role as the process was going through 
the week," ABC Entertainment President Stephen McPherson says. "The 
role kind of diminished just based on the storytelling that was going 
on. She was unhappy and wanted off the show, so we allowed her to 
leave."
Sara Gilbert has reportedly been added to the "Game" cast, but the 
part has been downgraded from a co-starring role to a recurring 
character. Gilbert's tenure with the show may also be brief, given 
that the former "Roseanne" co-star is doing a comedy project with The 
WB. 
Meanwhile, after the network pulled a planned "In the Game" panel for 
the Television Critics Association, McPherson was left to explain 
that show's ongoing status. 
"I always found it odd when networks put up shows that they hadn't 
really seen yet or that they were reworking entirely and said, 'Hey 
guys, it's going to be fantastic,'" McPherson explains. "We don't 
know that yet because we haven't seen it. We shot a pilot. We thought 
there was tremendous potential, specifically in Ed O'Neill and 
Jennifer. So we reshot last week. I'll see a rough cut of it probably 
Thursday or Friday." 
Hannigan, best know for her years as Willow Rosenberg on The WB and 
UPN's "Buffy," will still be returning to the small screen in the 
near future. As was reported last week, Hannigan will make a guest 
appearance on UPN's "Veronica Mars," playing the daughter of Harry 
Hamlin's Aaron Echolls. While conceived as a one-shot cameo, it could 
become a recurring part for Hannigan. Her episode will air on Feb. 22 
and she has at least one important fan in the cast. 
"When I met her, I was just floored at home wonderful she 
was," "Veronica Mars" star Kristen Bell told reporters last 
week. "She has a very sweet presence about her, very grateful, 
respectful. She's a wonderful woman to work with, I think, and was 
very sweet. And you know, I was just asking her questions about her 
experiences and she gave me some guidance and she was lovely."
