Just thought about something else. What if the death comes down to something budget related? Maybe they can’t afford to keep both Sean and Bex as series regulars, especially the way ratings are looking. I mean, we found it odd that both got promoted last Summer, when prior to Season 5 the max number of series regulars at a time was 9. Right now its 10. Given the way the ratings are, perhaps budget cuts occurred and something had to give.
