Reading these interviews, it makes me wonder: how do the writers live with themselves after doing this?
I mean, seriously? I would feel terrible with myself as a writer if, after promoting an actor to series regular and him moving his family over, seemingly secure in his job, I give him no development/centrics and just flat out murder him. And it’s not even just murder – he was wiped from existence! No afterlife or anything!
You want to service all your characters, of course. But the position of series regular isn’t just an average position – you’re a main character! How do these writers live with themselves when they’ve done it four times now?! Meghan Ory, MRJ, Michael Socha, and now Sean – four talented actors that have come out and said that their stories were ended abruptly/weren’t properly developed.
If I was writing for these people and responsible for their lack of development, I wouldn’t be angry at their words; that wouldn’t be right. I’d be ashamed with myself as a writer, wondering how I allowed myself to give these actors false hope in both character development and job security.
