Sources at ABC have confirmed that Lindsay Lohan has been fired from Ugly Betty. They don’t plan to have Lilo back for more episodes, according to a high-level insider. E! Online reports:
“It’s true. Sources close to ABC’s Ugly Betty confirm to me that Lindsay Lohan has been cut from the show. “They don’t plan to have her back for more episodes,” says a high-level insider.
According to my sources, the main driving force for this decision is that Lindsay was not gelling creatively with the series. “She was not so interested in creating a character,” another reliable insider close to Betty tells me. “She was more interested in just playing herself, and that doesn’t work on a show like this with such heightened reality.”
Producers of the show, being the professionals they are, released the following simple, damage controlled statement:
“Lindsay wrapped up her arc, and she’s done filming. She did a great job, and we enjoyed having her. Viewers can look forward to her episodes tonight and next week.” source
