The broken Hart explained on the Valentine in the Morning show the reason she was denied for every single season, and even admits she had the all-powerful Mario Lopez lobby for her and still couldn't get on.
Just let it go ...

I doubt very much that Hart was too terribly broken up about this, just frustrated with the on-again off-again way the show's producers were treating her. I think she's taking at least a semi-break because she has two or three very young kids at home (a new baby a few months ago, yes? wasn't TMZ snarking at her because she wasn't one of those who-can-tell-if-she's-pregnant types they prefer?). She must be pulling in good money from the several years worth of Sabrina the Teenage Witch shows, which are still very alive and well in syndication.
Lots of women put any career more or less on hold for a while until the kids are older even when they could make big bucks working outside the home and so could afford to hire lots of help. Kids change rapidly during those years, and you never get those years back if you miss them. A friend who is a chemist (Ph.D.) did it, waited until the kiddo was established in school to get back into it at least part-time. They could live on her husband's income for the duration. Even people with less income-producing capabilities will do that when possible, making other sacrifices to get everything paid for on one income.
Acting in a movie or tv show is a huge time commitment (very long days, very intense during production) that doesn't mix too well with parenting these days, especially for very young childen. I don't know why they don't just slow things down to a more humane schedule, and just have shows air less frequently. What good is the big money if you miss so much of life? I'm sure viewers could get used to every-other-week schedules.
Hart apparently has some good directing skills, my guess is that she might be more likely to go in that direction eventually. She's quite bright - I remember when she started Sabrina the Teenage Witch fresh off of the Nickelodeon thing Clarissa Explains It All, and for the first season she wasn't really up to speed (not much had been expected of her on Clarissa). But the other actors (both guest stars and the regulars playing Sabrina's aunts and of course the cat) were really good comic actors - by the second season, so was Hart. Gasp! She actually watched and learned!!!! How unusual.
To all the people who come on comment boards to corresct spelling, Who the heck cares who spells what which way? These are casual boards . Get over yourself already and just comment like normal people. If you want to spend all day correcting peoples english skills then teach a class in school and stay off the boards.
Very funny Pat. Yes I know how to spell correct but thank you for proving my point. When typing these comments sometimes you hit a wrong key or you dont notice a mispelled word and others go biserk trying to make you look bad. People need to lighten up and just enjoy commenting.
Zoya, I think Doris meant Corky Ballas as in DWTS's Mark Ballas' father who is dancing w/Cloris Leachman.

Britney Spears might miss a lot more 'X Factor' auditions ... because she can! Simon Cowell gave Brit damn near free reign in order to sign the pop star to that $15 million deal -- but is it backfiring? We'll tell you what peeps on the set are saying.Plus, Chris Jericho's…
