Bridget's contract expired on June 26th. It was not renewed. She told us on Sunday night in our chat. So they are not under contract any longer. She also said that all the tweets with SOS stuff that @ her in them make her sad. Which is why she doesn't go on Twitter much now. So maybe we could get people to #BridgetRegan instead? OH She is also going to tweet a pic of Kahlan's wedding ring, which she got to keep. hehehe I CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT.

Contracts are not important. They can sign another contract

We don't really know anything about the supposed almost Starz deal. There were hints of a bidding war. So pricing wouldn't have been the issue.
My guess is that ABC/Disney will take any decent offer if the offerer is going to do the production. Pricing would become an issue if the purchaser still wants ABC to produce because then you get into covering the costs of production and still making a profit.

That's interesting because she has also said that she was contracted for 6 years and that she was going to talk to her agent about "officially" getting out of the contract...guessing that the 6 year thing was an "option" and that after June 26th the cast no longer has to get the okay to take other jobs, can say no to going back to filming if they want without having to buy out the contract and ABC/Disney no longer has to pay them a retainer.
But it doesn't really matter - I think that the cast is willing to come back and that they would sign new contracts when we win our fight!
As long as the major actors don't end up in another series they can't get out of before we get more LotS!

Even though we don't understand or know all that is going on, we can't give up!!! Just imagine how sweet it will be WHEN we get S3!! It'll be because of everything we did!!

This is ras...I have written my heart out all summer... I am getting really depressed... my feeling is they want a new cast and to do a new treatment of the series...but that's me... This has been soooooooooooo disheartening!! I could care less about anything from Disney or ABC ever again.... (Have I lost it?? YES!!) I am getting my friendship letters ready as I whine and cry.... I keep writing advertisers.. and they tell me in letters and emails and on phone...they like the series...ads are effective on it. Oh... me Oh my....ras is sad....but still giving it the ole college try!!

Extremis>yesterday on about each page the images were out but today it's okay.
I can't even see them getting other actors, most of us like the show because of the actors they have now, that would be stupid. I just don't see the cast waiting much longer, if their contracts are up, why wait around for Disney to do something. Hell, we know how well they're helping us.
I will admit I haven't been writing to Disney, but I'm gonna do that to night. Just because I'm pissed off and I'm not giving in, so there. Blessed Be...

B also mentioned that she wasn't in a huge hurry to find a new gig. She needs a break after 2 years of seeker filming. So i wouldn't worry about her getting a long run job at the moment.
She seemed happy to let us keep fighting.
I won't be giving up, so don't worry. It's never easy. KEEP UP THE WRITING AND THE BUYING AND THE PROMOTING.

I've always been told that one man can encourage the world but it takes many to change it.
That's from some one on ABC FB. I just had to share it
Nothing EASY is worth having. Blessed Be...

At this point I don't think there is much to be gained in writing the sponsors. They don't have the power to bring the show back. Potential Networks and ABC/Disney are the most important.
Also, I agree that they aren't trying to reboot with different actors. The money in the show is in the show as we already know it. We know that Bridgit and Craig would be happy to do their roles again and I suspect Tab would be as well based on what little interviews we gotten from her.

I think we should "warn" people on twitter to avoid using @bridgetregan with #SOS stuff... We don't want to get her sad and it's prob better not spamming her with this stuff...

That would be like me going up to Regan or any other actor/actress at a restaurant while they are eating and ask for their autography. I would never do a paparazzi tactic! That's just a no no.....
