many exits of favorite characters over the years. But this one feels so different. When others left, they typically left by choice and it somehow made it easier. Knowing that there was so much more story to be told (that DESPERATELY NEEDED to be told!) and two gifted actors that wanted to tell it makes this so much harder.
I've always kind of felt like many of these core characters were like distant relatives that I checked in with every day. I honestly feel like I'm mourning the loss of these three characters. And b/c it makes so little sense for them to be leaving storywise, it feels almost like they are abandoning the family. I'm just feeling heartsick over this.
