Allan,

There is much information in regards to this at the Lurkers Guide to
B-5. The address is www.midwinter.com. Well, that's the location,
but it should not be difficult to find the correct page once you get there. To
make a long story short, JMS states she passed and Ivanova is not dead, in
case CC decides to participate in the TV movies or Film projects.

Claudia Christian was at TorontoTrek a couple of weeks ago. I didn't go, but a
friend did. According to HER, she asked for four episodes off to shoot a
movie. They said "No," and fired her. She seems pretty steamed about the whole
thing and WANTS to come back.
I suspect that the answer lies somewhere in the middle. The best guess is that
she was keeping her options open, went past her contract deadline, and tried
to do some back peddling when a movie deal fell through. Either way, she
should can her agent.

I recommend checking the Lurker's Guide. Both CC and JMS are quoted (JMS
somewhat more so, and he has the last word), but JMS is somewhat more
persuasive. [He claims, for example, that the issue wasn't that she wanted
four episodes off, but that she wanted to get PAID for them anyway.] It
sounds to me like there might have been a serious communication problem.
Of course, I know nothing about television production, etc.
