record straight.
As I have said all along, Britney did a great job on the show.
She
reprise her role as Abby.
Look, that episode garnered our highest
ratings of the season I would never ignore or disrespect that fact.
I

I have a high
standard of quality, and hope to maintain it on every level.

I was remiss in

My job description is to act, and I should
really do just that.
We should be so lucky.
