I hope this goes somewhere! We should really be seeing more of her. She's more than capable of carrying series after series.

I totally agree, it sucks that nothing much ended up working out for her after Buffy, I want to see back on tv again

Whoa! The idea that Ellen Degeneres is working on a thriller is a bit surprising to me.

[frelling_tralk]

Hmm yeah, that part did seem a little random to me as well

[hamarakissa]

Ooo looking forward to this one!

:D

That sounds intriguing!

[frelling_tralk]

It does :)

That sounds unique and interesting. It's strange that Ellen would be involved with something like this, a thriller isn't something I would associate with her, but it sounds interesting for SMG. I was wondering what she has been up to lately. idk whether she would've quit acting or not after The Crazy Ones (although I could understand taking a slight break from that), but it's nice hearing that she's still doing stuff.

I think that she’s mostly been concentrating on her business Foodstirs, she seems very into all that, I know that she released a recipe book last year.

I think this is her first new acting project in about 4 or 5 years, so it did seem like she was taking an unofficial break for a while there. I can understand becoming disillusioned with the acting business after the run of bad luck she had though, there was Ringers cancelled after one season, The Crazy Ones also being cancelled, even though that seemed like a sure thing with Robin Williams as co-lead, and then her Cruel Intentions pilot not even getting picked up.
