According to today's Hollywood Reporter, someone else will be handing Adrian Monk his moist towelettes when the top-rated cable show returns in January. Due to "creative differences," Bitty Schram, who was nominated for an Emmy in her role as Sharona Fleming, has left "Monk."
Producers are now casting for "a world-weary but attractive thirtysomething widow, who works as a bartender."
Sources indicate that unsuccessful (for Schram, anyway) contract negotiations were the reason for her departure. In fact, all of the supporitng cast, including Schram, Ted Levine (Stottlemeyer) and Jason Gray-Stanford (Randy) have been trying to renegotiate their contracts. That's why they were written out of the next-to-last episode that aired this season (when Monk helped his father-in-law investigate a game show host). Levine and Gray-Sanford, however, will be back when the show returns.
