It was pretty shocking to me. I was kind of gone for the last couple days. When I left I knew there was a bit of tension between characters, but it seemed like it was intentional from both sides. It's tough to play a character that nobody likes - but those characters often tend to be the most colorful and important. Shame he decided to step away.<br/><br/>I think we've got a pretty good cast still though. We can make do.
