Amanda Seyfried, who exited “Big Love” earlier this year after the show’s fourth season, says she’ll likely make return appearances to the hit HBO series.

“I’m gonna go back, probably at the end of the year,” the actress said during a recent interview, where she was promoting her new film, “Letters to Juliet.”

Seyfried, who on “Big” plays a teenager trying to understand her family’s polygamy, said she left the show because she wanted to pursue film opportunities.

“The commitment [of ‘Big Love’] would have kept me from doing anything this summer, and that’s just not fulfilling enough,” she said. “People were throwing opportunities my way, and I was like, ‘Oh, sorry, I can’t.’ But I was talking to Bill [Paxton] the other day, and he was like, ‘You’re coming back, right?’ And I was like, ‘Absolutely, if I’m not busy working on something crazy, of course I would.’ ”

And what does she have to say about her former cast mate Chloë Sevigny, who notoriously called the show’s fourth season “awful” and “very telenovela”?
“Oh, gosh,” she sighed. “We all make mistakes like that and say things that people take out of context. She was probably saying, ‘Oh, that’s awful,’ because she was probably envisioning herself on the show and saying how bad she thought she was. I don’t think she was saying anything bad about the show itself.”

As far as the 24-year-old is aware, Sevigny didn’t burn any bridges by making the remark.
“As long as she ties it up and calls everybody and apologizes for whatever she did, everybody’s cool,” Seyfried said. “She and the writers are all good. It’s not a big deal. I just felt so bad for her because I was like, ‘Ahh, it’s so easy to be in that situation.’

When the writers of “Big Love” made Amanda Seyfried’s character miscarry, they probably didn’t realize they might lose her as well.

The actress revealed in December that she was leaving the HBO series and now suggests it could have something to do with Sarah Henrickson’s lost pregnancy in season three.

“I just really wanted to be pregnant and that fit with the third season and then I had miscarriage,” she said at the TriBeCa Film Festival last week. “Damn it!”

Seyfried is not committed to a fifth season of the show, but says if she does return it will probably be as a supporting character.

“The evolution of Sarah has pretty much run its course,” Seyfried said with a grimace.

That is not to say the actress doesn’t have plans for her alter ego’s future. She is begging the show’s writers to turn the recently married Utah native, who is now living in Portland, Ore., into an expectant young wife.

“I’ll come back from Portland, probably, hopefully, be pregnant. We’ll see,” she said. “She’s just grown to a point where I don’t know what else they can do with her.”

If the writers of “Big Love” decide to drop the character altogether, Seyfried has a back-up plan. The stunning, green-eyed actress has been carving out a film career in the likes of “Mamma Mia” and “Dear John” since the show’s last season.

Seyfried is not the only star of “Big Love” to lose faith in the series this season. Her co-star, Chloe Sevigny, who plays a wife to the show’s polygamist, recently slammed the series’ writers for transforming the HBO hit into a “telenovela.”
