Should he stuff his sorries in a sack? Seinfeld," and instead he managed to throw her back under a bus that has been rolling over her for more than a decade.

This is partly Howard Stern's fault for bringing it up again -- to ask about the relationship between George and Susan, and actors Jason and Heidi. In Jason's retelling, he explained how he and Heidi just worked differently in finding the comedy of the scene. Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jerry Seinfeld had no idea what the problem was, he said, until they worked with her and he said they found it impossible too. Well, cue a dozen stories about the actress who played Susan being "impossible" to work with, hence the character's death.

So now George Jason is gettin' upset. Here's what he tweeted in response to all the headlines:


And here's his full extended tweet, attempting to explain it all while kicking himself for even trying to tell the story:

Ok folks, I feel officially awful. Yesterday on @Sternshow, I retold a story I had told years ago about my personal difficulties and insecurities in playing George against the Susan that Heidi Swedberg created. The impetus for telling this story was that Howard said, "Julia Louis Dreyfuss told me you all wanted to kill her". So I told the story to try and clarify that no one wanted to kill Heidi.

And again I say, I and the cast really liked and like Heidi. She is a kind, lovely person who undoubtedly worked really hard to create Susan and that character was clearly what Larry and Jerry wanted her to be for George. I just felt I was on uncertain ground in how to play off that character and I was always concerned that it wasn't working. And that's what I would voice concern about. But because the scenes were playing the way they were, the relationship with George and Susan sustained a whole season. People clearly liked the interplay even though I believed I was "off".

Larry and Jerry were not sure how that relationship would end. They didn't really want George married but all the alternatives seemed predictable. They were always looking for an inventive end to the engagement. So when the comment was made about "killing", no one was talking about the actress - they were talking about the character. And that made a creative lightbulb go off apparently.

But in telling this story, it sounds like we are putting a heavy burden on Heidi. I, personally, am not. Heidi would always ask if there was anything in the scenes she could do or if I had any thoughts. She was generous and gracious and I am so mad at myself for retelling this story in any way that would diminish her. If I had had more maturity or more security in my own work, I surely would have taken her query and possibly tried to adjust the scenes with her. She surely offered. But, I didn't have that maturity or security. And, Larry and Jerry would probably have killed me as it was all playing exactly as they wanted. Clearly Susan and George were coming off just the way they wanted.

So, to all the press that is now running wild with this 15 year old story, please don't pervert it. No one told Heidi to do anything different - and she surely would have, if asked. And no one that I am aware of, including myself, didn't like her. And now with distance, I can look at those episodes and see that there was a fun relationship there between George and Susan. It works perfectly. I simply couldn't see it or find it at the time.

To Heidi, I personally apologize. You are a sweetheart. I actually launched into this on Stern to defend you. But this is why I'm not a lawyer. Now everybody, calm down and just enjoy the reruns and think, "why did he think this wasn't working? This is great."
JA"

We will do just that -- because we thought it was great. Wherever Heidi is, hopefully she's focused on the outpouring of support for her and confusion from fans as to why the cast would get all Mean Girl about her just for having a different approach. Whatever she's feeling, it's pretty safe to say this is the last time the cast will try to tell this story. Serenity now!
