A major loss, her character would have been a major drawcard. Without her it harkens back to the later seasons which wern’t as good as the first few.
love jessica, she always came across as ambitious with her career, so it must be serious and difficult for her to drop out of these roles. I’ll subscribe to Amazon for the first time specifically for this show. I’m curious to see what happens with Ted, his health was deteriorating fast in the final season on 7 i was sure he was getting the chop in the finale.
Not loving the title tho “back” to the rafters doesn’t make sense, and they haven’t been “away” long enough to make it such a feature of the title. what if there is a second season? the title becomes more and more irrelevant.
Must be serious; this is the second high-profile project she’s dropped out of in the last 6 months. Hope everything’s okay.
