Rebecca Romijn is leaving Ugly Betty! The actress, who has portrayed male-to-female transsexual Alex/Alexis Meade since Season One, has decided not to return for a third season due to frustration with the show’s writers. She says she will return to the ABC series for small guest appearances.
“They made a tremendous amount of changes, especially with the writing staff (during the writer’s strike)…With all the changes, I’m not sure they can take care of my character they way they have been. So I’ll be leaving, back in a recurring capacity, but time for me to leave and find something else.”
