In other gripes, the UPN network took issue with last week's lead story. Despite being contacted prior to the story running and only being serviced with a generic press release, in typical fashion, now the network would like to respond in more detail and challenge a portion of our report.


Despite the fact that we stand by our story, as a courtesy we're sharing their better-late-than-never reply. "Reporting that Elise Neal is leaving 'All of Us' as a result of UPN's instructing all of its sitcom producers to cut costs across the board is blatantly inaccurate. License fees for television series are negotiated prior to the first season and are contractual. The network cannot and did not ask for expenses to be cut on any show. As UPN said in a joint statement with studio partner, Warner Bros., Neal's departure was due to a change in the creative direction of the series," said Joanna D. Massey, UPN's senior vice president of media relations.

So she's leaving? This is the first I'm hearing of this. I wonder if she will be replaced or written off the show.
