I feel I do have a reason not to like her. We all liked the show. I know I miss Roswell and was rooting for it when it was on the air. But to hear her bash the show, sucked. That was kinda mean. She was basically dissing the fans. Saying only one person watched the show, she knew that wasn't true. Cause I don't feel I was the only one.

Although EdR, not that I know of, never said anything negative about Roswell. She did say she was hired to save the show. Big ego on that one.
KH did also put her big flat foot in her bigger mouth

Hollywood Grapevine
Katherine Heigl so disliked playing a teen on on the Sci-fi series Roswell that she deliberately showed up late for work.
"I felt so helpless that I'd signed a contract for something I wasn't happy with" she says. "Being late was my little rebellion".
She's happier now, starring in ABC's upcoming move "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion" in which two best friends go to Hollywood. Heigl plays the Mira Sorvino part.
"I worked hard not to be late!"
Its not as if she was a teen whose parent had to sign her contract. She was an adult, grow the f up and show up on time. -

Reading back on this thread, I have to be honest and say that her comments were pretty disappointing. I loved her character, like her music and acting but she certainly should have been more grateful for working on a show like Roswell, as should the other cast members who complained. So what if people like you because of Maria? If I were her, I'd be honoured to have people tell how great they think my work is, even if my character did not in any way resemble the person that I actually am.

in the 3rd season she did bash the show close to the end or in the end in a few places, but then after she was off for a few months took a break and did an epi. of boston public she went back and said she wished she could do roswell againb68. she was just so frustrated w/the way she was portrayed in the end, the way her character was diminished and the politics behind everything that was going on and the turn of the show that everything got her mad frustrated her to no end. she always says now, like in a recent interview she did for her new album, that she loved the whole roswell thing and she'd do it again. if i can find the link to the interview i'll post it.

wow i didnt realise all the cast members hated their roles, how ungreatful can you be, its like beep on all the fans who kept the show going (their saleries). I never realised either how much of a biatch katherine heigl was, if it is true and she complains about everything shes doing, why is she an actress? I think though that Shiri appleby and Emilie de ravin appreciated roswell and their roles. I know Emilie is a really nice girl in real life, and look where she is now, shes probably the most famous of them all as shes got a role in one of the biggest shows around right now, and Shiri always sounded so pleasent and appreciated on the extras on roswell, but Brendan sounded so cocky the way he spoke about it, i just wanted to slap him or something he looked so bored, and Jason well i dont know really he seemed ok. The sherif was hilarious as was colin hanks on the extras they really got into their roles, didn't take them too seriously. I always thought Maj was the same but clearly not? So who of them all has bashed roswell then? for deffinate? i take it there won't be a movie anytime soon! lol ive been really rooting for o1c84ne recently!
i miss roswell! It wasnt resolved somehow! -

i never watched roswell when it was on, but caught up with it on DVD and loved it. it sucks to hear the stars trashing it. it was never as good as it was the 1st season, but i still enjoyed it. it kinda found its way again in season 3.
heigl has a reputation for trashing projects that she's been associated with and biting the hand that feeds her. but it's surprising to hear some of the comments delfino made about her experience on the show. roswell is the only thing i know her from and her music career hasn't exactly set the world on fire. she auditioned for the mena suvari role in american beauty, which could have made her a star, but she talked about making a face when they told her kevin spacey would be the older guy her character gets involved with. a talented and dedicated actress would have been able to get past not being attracted to the guy and tried to get the role. that was a huge oscar-winning hit that many people would have loved to be associated with.
i can't believe how bitchy and ungrateful these people are, getting their big breaks and starring roles in a weekly show that plenty of starving actors would kill for and seeming like it's a burden or somehow beneath them. don't they realize how hard it is to make a living in hollywood?

I haven't heard that one, but Majandra has gone on the record to say she lost the part because right before the audition that would have cinched the role, she cut off all her hair.

No she didn't mean it like that. The show just didn't get the ratings it was supposed to get and was under constant threat of getting canceled. That is why they decided to spice things up and brought Tess to the show. It's rather her character that saved the show and to be honest it did. It brought a lot of drama and tell me you didn't tune in to just see Tess gone and Max and Liz together again.
She clearly served her purpose. -

i know, it's like, ok, so you didn't like working on the show, then i think you should have to give back your entire salary over those 3 years, and then let's talk about how you feel. evangeline lily said something stupid about how she hates that fans recognize her everywhere and then said something about how if she could have the job she has now with her current salary, but without all the fame, she'd be perfectly content. emphasis on current salary. i mean honestly, if it so displeases you, move to New Zealand and join a community theatre.

I remember in one of the commentaries she said she didn't want to be paired with Michael, and she begged the producers for them not to become a couple. I recall that striking me as very unprofessional. She shouldn't get a choice that's what she's paid to do. I can't believe how much she bashed 'Roswell' as much as she did, and essentially the fans. It's really made me dislike her. Maybe she fixed her attitude though, because she's got a movie coming out with Katherine Heigl coming out in 2010.

And let's not forget, K. Heigl was no different. She just got lucky with GA, which was never meant to be a long running show or a hit at all. However she is still the same. Complaining about not the right material to win her something (that's how we got ghost Danny), wanting out of her contract and so on.
BTW, if you are in the entertainment industry you have to watch what you say. Majandra also blasted The WB after Roswell moved to UPN in an interview. It wasn't really that bad, but still that's an entire network she will probably not work for a while. The thing about Kevin Spacey is actually true, because she told the story herself. I think she thought it was funny and cool. Whenever she speaks she says something unprofessional.
