This seems to be going against the rumors that NBC wanted more personal soap opera and less Broadway show plot--at least getting rid of Frank and Dev. Ellis got fired in the finale (after he admitted that he had put peanuts in Uma Thurman's character's smoothie to get her out of the way for Ivy to regain the role of Marilyn) and I don't expect him back.
I assume that Madwoman in the Attic is Theresa Rebeck's production company. Can I also assume that if she's left the show, her production company logo will also disappear next season?
