Most of fox’s tv shows are complete garbage with no substantial viewer numbers because they are such crap factories. And they keep churning these makework pieces of trash out. Smallville. the Flash. Arrow. Empire. etc. They just keep putting out garbage year after year.

Not exactly the same thing - the show he’s on isn’t named after him...reason to dump him but not the show that nobody I know watches...

$100,000 _per episode._

Unhappy with pay for acting on TV.(!)

Stages fake hate crime to become victim icon and promote his career.

Posts bail while awaiting trial and returns to work.

Maintains victim claim.

Crickets from producers and employers.

...Whatever privelege I have pales to insignificance in comparison to _that_ kind of privelege.

That is idiculous. This was so poorly planned and committed that it is clear that no one with any sense had anything to do with it. Pols know how to commit crimes.

HIV is not a death sentence anymore. Especially if you have money. Not an excuse to off yourself any more. And the LGBT world would go ape shit. So, back to the writing board.

I guess that shows my ignorance (having never watched or even considered watching) - I thought the show was ABOUT him - as in he is the main character?

Never watched it - only saw the ads for it while watching other shows and he’s not ever in any of them with the main characters...the rumors about him being ready to be wrote out and the decision to keep him out for the rest of the season say he’s a bit player.
