I'll avoid any comments about the beloved/dreaded Sterak  situation for fear someone's head might explode. I will just mention instead the incorrect ongoing belief and anger of many fans that Jeff D. has been the main responsible party behind the comings and goings of popular characters/actors over the course of this show's 6 seasons. The fact is MTV is notoriously cheap and pays it's actors far below industry standard rates. In addition to that it does not offer series regular contracts to any actors beyond the top 5 or so opening title cast members so Colton haynes, the Carver twins, Ryan Kelley, Ian Bohen, Daniel Sharman, etc. were never contractually bound to the show. If a better offer for more money came along they took it, or left after being refused any kind of reasonable raise when renegotiating from one season to the next. Jeff and the writers simply had to write around cast defections they had no control over. Fans need to understand that it is first and foremost a business and actors are simply doing a job for a paycheck. It can be a really fun job, that's for sure, but actors have bills to pay too and not all of them are rich and if your salary sucks and someone else offers you more money you take it. And if an actor is a pain in the a** to work with you can always kill or send their character away... Looking forward to these last 10 episodes and the return of several cast favorites who carved out a few days in their schedules to pop back in to say good-bye!
