Damn. ABC is having a really crappy off season so far. It's nothing but bad news and drama.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this way Simon can be taken out of the amber sooner and we can spend more time with him...
ReplyDeleteCAN WE STOP WITH THIS? I don't like this at all!
ReplyDeleteI'll still watch the show but damn another let go?! I feel really bad for ABC right now.
ReplyDeleteAny more good news...gee,he didn't last long. What is going on,i don't remember so many people leaving,being fired,what have you......
ReplyDeleteCrap. I hate ABC more because of Body of Proof departures and now this.
ReplyDeleteWhat's going on with ABC???
ReplyDeleteFirst PP, then Body of proof and now Scandal!
Wonder what's going to happen to all the other shows!
Yes please!
ReplyDeleteHe was criminaly underused in S1 (and yet still managed to be one of the better aspects of the show IMO, so he will be missed) so I'm not too surprised he's out.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping he can now make a Fringe re-appearance seeing as he was brilliant in that!
I am really surprised about this departure. His character was very likeable and I thought he was getting.closer to the other girl character.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell? NO!!!!! He was my favourite...
ReplyDeleteI really hope this means we get to see him in Fringe again even if its just for an episode.
ReplyDeleteFringe would be awesome indeed.... or if he would be cast as Mance Rayder on Thrones now that he is available to film this Summer!
ReplyDeleteI like how you think! Yes GOT please!
ReplyDeleteWell, what a waste of build-up between him and that red-head girl. We've practically been hit over the head with her infatuation with him in every episode. Though I have to agree with those commenters who point out how under-utilised he was.
ReplyDeleteGood idea! That would be so great!
