I just read the article in SOD, and it sounds hopeful that maybe, just maybe, one or both of them will be available if TPTB decide to bring them back in the next few months. MM says she's oging to take a bit of a vacation, and get their house sold and everything, so maybe she'll be available if they decide to bring Belle back by summertime (oh, i hope.) BB said that he wants to take some acting classes, so hopefully he will be available too.

Sounds as if Ed Scott didn't want them to go, or at least it's what he said to BB when he told them they had been let go.

How sad this is, but maybe the break will make TPTB understand, faults and all, how popular this couple really is

YAY!!! That is AWESOME news!! Thanks for posting!! It definitely gives me hope that they will both be back!! Woohoo!! Though I dont' think BB needs acting classes. He is wonderful already! So maybe tptb really are just giving them a break, and both MM and BB know it! That's why they're not moving on to other shows. I sure hope so!!!

I would love to have either one of them back again. This would be great!

Me too Shar!! I REALLY hope that this means what I think it means!! That they will both be available, and returning as Shelle sometime in the summer/fall!!

I really hope Martha comes back!
