The “former” actor should be written out of the show with him never appearing again on any show, let alone this one.

They could off him by having his character attacked in an alley. The attackers could loop a rope around his neck and pour bleach all over him, while gagging on a Subway sammich.

From what I’ve read, Empire ratings were on a downward spiral which led people to believe the Jussie incident was a publicity stunt.

... the actor will be left out of the last two episodes to "avoid further disruption on set," although it's unclear how his absence will be explained. Happens all the time on daytime soaps, and they have no problem. Actors get sick, have contract disputes, etc, and the producers either don't use that character or replace the actor with another actor......................

Hoping the liar’s career is wrecked, but I know it won’t be. After a few months all will be forgiven and he will once again be paid to show his face to an adoring public.

It was hot the first two years. How many times can you watch the same plot, who’s going to run the company. Some sexy ladies though, but many shows have that

The genre is not really needed. Black TV is more or less a farce, a fantasy.

Yes, I would have never even known about “Empire” if it hadn’t been for Smollet’s “little charade” with the CPD. I would have gone on thinking that “a smollet” was some sort of unusual anal discharge for which a visit to your PCP would be advisable. Then again, maybe it is?

They could just kill his character offTime honored way to get rid of cast members that are no longer wanted - e.g Charlie Sheen fired and killed off from 2 1/2 men, Gary Dourdan fired and killed off from CSI, etc.

The network has already announced that the actor will be left out of the last two episodes to "avoid further disruption on set," although it's unclear how his absence will be explained.The character doesn't have to be absent from the show, only the actor who plays the character.
They could simply replace the actor with another one playing the same character. It's happens all the time.
Bewitched had two Darren Stevens. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air had two Aunt Vivians, MCU's Iron Man had two Rhodeys, etc.
Or, they could simply use the same AI technology that was used to produce the Jennifer Buscemi deep-fake video.

I tried to watch an episode in their first season, but found it slow and dull. It must be better if you like that music genre.
I really liked Taraji Henson in Person of Interest and am glad she made it big. Too bad this jerk derailed her big hit.
