Wait, what?!
Source, with heavy spoilers
Short version:
spoiler
Multiple sexual assault / harassment allegations came out regarding Cas Anvar.In other words, they definitely did rewrite him out of the show, they're just trying to pass it off by saying that rewriting is common anyway.
That was years ago. Has there been any progress in the investigation? Or is it still just allegations?
Two years is a short time for such an investigation. A third party was supposed to investigate those but no news has emerged as far as I know.
No it isn't
It’s very weird to me that they wrote him out of the show, filmed an end to that character, and then fired him. Often when an actor abruptly exits a show they just vanish and you find out how they died offstage somehow. This guy had to participate in his own ejection from the show. His character kind of dies a hero, too, which makes it even weirder. I guess they were trying to jettison the actor without harming the character.
Oh that’s interesting to know, thanks.
