My goodness, is she taking every role offered to her?


Look how many projects she has coming up. It's actually nice to see an actress take whatever work she can get and not be so stuck up about it. You can't say she's struggling to find work.

I'm confused by what you mean. From what I have heard from Josh Schwartz and Mischa herself, she was given an ultimatum by Josh--she could sail off with Jimmy or die. Mischa chose to die. But regardless, her character was being written out either way because ratings slipped drastically during season 3 and they needed to shake things up on the show. Mischa says she cried when it came time to film her death scene, so it doesn't sound like she was all that done with her character emotionally. I know she wanted to move on because Marissa, so she claims, was getting harder to play given the ridiculous storylines they were giving her, but I didn't think she was fired or anything close to it.
