I wasn’t so much concerned yesterday with the bit about America and Lindsay. But there are some parts that rang true. And that’s because in the humble opinion of this Lindsay fan, I already felt that she was not bringing it to the show.

Now a part of the story had originally come out a week ago, on cinemablend.com. That part I think is perhaps true. That Lindsay was smoking all over the place, and had a big entourage. Paps pics bear that out.

In addition, cinemablend.com reported that Lindsday’s part had been reduced, whereas originally the show had thought about expanding Kimmie’s arc.

According to E!’s Watch with Kristin yesterday, “the main driving force for this decision is that Lindsay was not gelling creatively with the series. ‘She was not so interested in creating a character,’ another reliable insider close to Betty tells me. ‘She was more interested in just playing herself, and that doesn’t work on a show like this with such heightened reality.’

“According to sources who work on the show, Lindsay was originally written into an upcoming script of Betty, but she was taken out of that script and the scenes with her character were rewritten.”

And to me, there can only be one conclusion: she was not a hit on the show, or with the show, onscreen and perhaps even off.

I don’t think Lindsay’s lines were that great, but they were serviceable. But she did not put enough zing into them. Lindsay’s character Kimmie quoted Lindsday herself in the movie “Mean Girl,” twice using the famous line, “I know, right.”

Well, if Lindsay’s going to quote from her own best movie, she better throw a little something extra into those lines. I thought they fell flat. It was embarrassing, and a sad tribute to MG, to Lindsay’s MG character, Cady, to Lindsay herself.

I am am partly chalking up to rustiness. Lindsay has not made a good movie in a while. She has been through hell in her personal life the last few years. In between, her acting took a step back, not forward. I hope she’ll eventually get her groove back and step up.

But I have to say as an Ugly Betty fan, since Lindsay first appeared on the show, her scenes have been the worst, the only bad ones on the show. Time to cut the crap and move on.
