Well, thank gawd I'm not the only one who burst out laughing. I thought it was an interesting twist that she was fired - certainly much better than Claire being killed in a car accident, that show had me in tears - but the lesbian comment, and the look on Serena & Arthur's faces were hysterical. I mean, L&O has always been so well-written - if it's somehow relevant to future episodes that Serena is gay, could the writers not have segued into that topic a little more smoothly? I rarely find a reason to criticize this show but that was brutal. :ohno
I missed this episode (wanted to see Serena's swan song!). Based on the posts here, I can't figure out what happened. Angie Harmon just kind of said "I can't do this anymore" and left (didn't realize she was having problems doing the job until that moment). At least Jamie's problems were continuous thorughout the season. But there were no hints Serena was gay? And why did she get fired? If someone wouldn't mind filling me in, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!

Nope, the "I'm a lesbian" thing came totally out of left field. :shrug The firing itself was kind of realistic...a lot of yada yada yada about what a great attorney Serena is, but not a good fit for that office - the kind of thing that people really do hear when they get canned. :lol

WOW! The firing and and gay thing both surprised me.
When Arthur was telling her she would be a better defense lawyer I thought she would basically offer her resignation but the gay comment, where did that come from??
Has there been any mention of who will replace her?

The actress's name who is replacing Elisabeth Rohm is Annie Parisse, former soap star.

I missed this last night because of I Hate My Job. This has got to be the set up for a discrimination suit. If it leads to Arthur having to resign, I'm all for it. I really don't like him.
Come to think of it, isn't Arthur supposed to appear on the new L&O series? If you're right, Mariner, and that's the way the storyline turns out, maybe this is a way of transferring the character to the new show?
