Gina Bellman. She's only had 1 credit on Imdb since Leverage ended.

Of course, she also has a young child now, so she might be taking some time off to take care of him/her.

I remember from her twitter account that she was in a play last year. It probably suits her to do theatre in London so that she can rehearse during the day while her daughter is in school. Perhaps she's not been offered anything that makes her want to be back on tv, especially if it might mean uprooting or being away from her family.

Not surprised, she sucked on Leverage. Show got better when she was gone and Jeri Ryan took her place.

Um, yeah. Almost nobody thinks that. At best, they liked Jeri enough when she was on the show but the cons were designed for her. Nobody cried much when she was done with her run on the show.

And given I watched her on four seasons of Coupling, I know she's a good actress.

I think Jeri Ryan did a great job, but the dynamic was more complete with Sophie. As I said in another thread, I always imagined that they would have brought Jeri Ryan's character back after the end of the series. They would need a grifter after Sophie left.
