Fans of Showtime’s Weeds can breath a sigh of relief.  There were rumors that Mary-Louise Parker was going to be leaving the show. Not true!  The show’s executive producer Jenji Kohan set the record straight on Jennifer Jason Leigh’s upcoming role:

“Right now we’ve written two that she’s in, but as we write, we’ll see where she fits in and if she wants to come back and play,” says Jenji. “She’s doing a movie, so her schedule is kind of crazy right now. It’s a great piece of guest casting. We love having Jennifer here; we’d love her to do as many as she wants to do, but by no means does it edge out Mary-Louise.”

So how does Nancy’s big sis come in the picture? “She doesn’t show up. The mountain comes to Muhammad. She gets pulled in and then pushes back,” teases Jenji. “I think Nancy views her sister as a safe harbor for her children. I don’t think Jill has that in mind.” That means trouble is definitely brewing for the Botwin family.

This should be good!  I am glad that Mary-Louise isn’t leaving.  I think you can’t have Weeds without her.  Kinda pointless to go on if she’s not there.
