No, but we should've gotten an explanation as to what happened to him. They shined a freaking spotlight on his absense, at the tryouts, but then wanted us to look the other way without a word.

@Eunomiac I would argue a lot of females would watch the show if it didn't have any women in it, for much the same reason the gay guys watch it. I agree that relations like Danny's last scene are beginnings, not endings. As for Connor, I too cringe at him, and I hope they develop him as time goes on, because as it stands now, he is all the negative connotations that gay people have rolled into one character, and clearly shows the writer's or TPTB's disdain for gay people.

However, none of those points changes the fact that Danny is a side character, and has always been. Whether he is important representation or not. I absolutely agree that we should've gotten some sort of on screen acknowledgment of his absense though.
