Please let it be Horatio Caine!!!
I second, triple, fourth that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ditto!
That would be too good to be true.
Masi Oka.
That is brutal. It’s like that episode of Friends when Joey finds out he’s killed on Days of Our Lives by falling down an elevator shaft.
hahahaha!
That’s the first thing that came to my mind too!
Jack Coleman on Heroes. Without HRG that show will seriously have no reason to be watched.
“Popular and well-respected” makes me think Coleman before either of the others.
I was thinking the same thing after Ausiello ruled out Grey’s.
I’m gonna go with HRG as well, especially after I found this article immediately after reading tweets from Heroes’ makeup artist saying “it’s an all day HRG affair.”
He’s been doing this whole thing of “I have done nothing with my life besides lie to the people I love and bag and tag” this season already…have a huge flashback of his life before he dies?
Yeah, I’m gonna bank on it being HRG.
Has to be Heroes. “Onetime ratings powerhouse” and a leading man, I’m going with that.
Did we ever find out about the last blind item with the hate/love thing?
no..Ausiello never told us!! grrr!!
Not many clues but “the lack of communication coming from the front office” sounds like standard operating procedure from Shondra Rhimes at Grey’s.
it can’t be Grey’s..Ausiello even said that it wasn’t Grey’s in his hints!!!
he said “not greys”
oh, duh, I skipped over that, good thing he put the disclaimer.
Not sure why, but my inital reaction was Desperate Housewives.
I love how everyone assumes it’s Heroes. Since when have the producers and the actors had a falling out?? They’ve had the same crew of actors since the beginning and I’ve never heard of that. If it is in fact Heroes and does end up being Sendhil, then this story is bull shit since he’s read through Episode 11 already. Can’t wait to hear how this plays out.
Jay Leno.
David Caruso
Maybe it’s the Dawson’s Creek guy on Fringe. He has never made sense on that show.
no the show hasn’t been around long enough for it to be considered a one times rating powerhouse unless the ratings dramatically went down from its premiere
If he doesn’t make sense to you, then you’re not watching the show.
It’s Charlie from Fringe.
uh, no … Kirk Acevedo found out over the summer that he was being let go … plastered it all over his facebook
It’s hoe he was told that’s important. Michael’s description is exactly as Kirk described he found out.
They did the same with Mark Valley.
I bet its Adrian Pasdar on Heroes. Its a shame because he is one of the shows great actors and Nathan was a great character. Heroes is a mess and its a blessing if he did get let go. I rather watch him ob a better show
geez, guess my leno joke was already used. kinda makes me like leno.
Jonathan Togo (Ryan Wolfe) from CSI:Miami
I think its Adam Rodriguez (Delko)…he’s leaving the show anyhow. So TPTB are killing off the character; so he can’t come back for visits. Like Speedle…(yeah I know he CAME back from the dead).
I thought Rodriguez had interviewed that Delko’s exit wouldn’t involve him being killed off. My guess: He and Calleigh get serious, so he leaves for a different shift or a different job altogether… Or something ridiculous and unbelievable happens involving his (completely ridiculously) recently discovered Russian mobster dad.
