I know i am beeing unrealistic and that actor deserve to try new oportunities, but since Prue's death in "Charmed" because of the actress quitting and many other examples, specially in teenwolf (Jackson,Erika,Cora), i can just think about this. I just hate when that happens and show storyline become twisted or modified. I was under the impression that Prue left because she went to jail, not by choice. But I could be mistaken. As far as Colton, it was the writers fault, he was a main character in s1&2 but they only wanted him for half this season, and he was offered more on Arrow, and left before contracts were signed. Erica is a little different, because I think she had a contract and chose to leave anyway. Which is bull. And kinda stupid when she had a sure thing here, and the other show was a pilot that hadn't even been picked up yet. And I don't think Cora was ever supposed to be more than the half season. But again, I could be wrong. But I do see what you mean, even if it wouldn't be feasible.

Gage left because she was getting a main role on another show, while on teen wolf she was playing a secondary character. Same with Adelaide Kane, she only had a contract for 3b and Jeff was planning on writing her in for 3b but CW offered her the main role on Reign, so she took it.

Speaking of Reign, does anyone here watch it? What's your overall impression?

I'm a Game of Thrones watcher. I feel like when Hollywood finds something that people like, they try every copy and variation of the genre as possible. After the success of GOT and Spartacus, we now have Black Sails, Vikings, White Queen, etc. Feels like a little bit of overload, so I haven't even given these or Reign the time of day. It sometimes takes a few episodes for a show to hit its stride so before I spend my time I want to know, am I really missing anything innovative and exciting?
