  1. Career mistake.

    Sure his character seems to have run out of exciting adventures but in this economy… haha.

    Maybe he’ll do a Julie and return a season later.

  2. Well he was hardly in the new season anyway, so its an understandable decision.

    Although it’s a shame TV won’t have a positive gay role-model full time….hopefully Desperate Housewives will beef up the gay characters next time.
