The celebrity news site then reported Wednesday that the actress' contract negotiations with Warner Bros. Television, which were holding up production on the Showtime dramedy's eighth season, had ended.
Macy, who plays Rossum's on-screen drug and alcohol addicted father, told TMZ Monday that she "works as hard as I do, she deserves everything," and on Wednesday, Rossum tweeted that she would be returning to work on the show in May. [[407233375, C]]
