Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

I think it's a distinct possibility that it wasn't even a question of him wanting to or not.. His health may not allow it..

I wasn't trying to be redundant.. was just researching his status independently and coming to my own conclusions... (albeit speculation) I hadn't even considered the previous replies. So my apologies to you Tara. You speak as if you know positively. Maybe you are a longtime fan and follow some of the show's fansites.

Years ago, it wasn't unusual for some of these shows to bring in replacements.. but perhaps if he's been in that role for a really long time, it would be somewhat disrespectful to do that.. Plus his character is getting older anyway. Maybe he got to have some say into how his character is written out of the show..

I hope he is doing alright.. and that he manages to beat the cancer..
