Disappointing and Downright Offensive Character Departures

It felt like New Amsterdam Season 5, the ultimate season of the collection, did every part in its energy to assassinate the character of Helen Sharpe, beginning together with her ghosting Max. As an alternative of exhibiting up for his or her marriage ceremony, she despatched him a “Expensive, Max” letter apologizing and saying that she wasn’t coming again and could not do any of that anymore, leaving him and Luna within the lurch.

It was so unbelievably out of character and the worst approach to deal with Freema Agyeman’s exit, particularly for the reason that collection had a 12 months’s discover to arrange her departure. Helen’s controversial exit (and vilification) was the mark of the downward flip of this as soon as nice collection, leading to an extremely disappointing finale season farewell throughout.

Meredith Gray is the principle character of Gray’s Anatomy. Gray’s Anatomy has fumbled many departures over time, however the one they need to’ve gotten proper was Meredith freaking Gray!

And but, Gray’s Anatomy Season 19 Episode 7 was only a common episode of the collection the place they half-ass threw Mer a going away celebration, and he or she mainly behaved immaturely and left Nick, the person she cherished behind with out even speaking with him even after his love confession. We did not get any montages, flashbacks, have moments of reminiscing… NOTHING.

It was such a boring, forgettable episode. Actually, Gray’s Anatomy Season 18 Episode 20would’ve been a greater farewell. They tried to scrub issues up higher when Mer confirmed up throughout Gray’s Anatomy Season 19 Episode 20, nevertheless it would not change that her official departure SUCKED.

The information of star Jesse Soffer’s departure was an utter shock, as Halstead had been on the collection for almost a decade. However nothing may put together for one of many worst exits ever on Chicago PD Season 10 Episode 3.

After Jay brutally stabs a perp and Hailey and Voight debate how one can cowl it up, Jay is triggered by the entire ordeal. He and the opposite members of the trio have spent an excessive amount of time overlaying up shady issues, and he now not needs to be that individual, so he hand over his badge and gun when the chief head lets him off the hook, reenlists within the military and takes some secret mission in Bolivia.

In hours, Jay stop, gave his spouse, Hailey, a crappy goodbye, by no means stated something with the opposite members of the workforce, and stated goodbye to Voight on the airport earlier than disappearing. It felt unbelievably out of character and a disservice to a personality who has been there for years.

After a seven-year absence, followers had been thrilled to listen to that Peter Reckell was returning as Bo Brady, a personality he created 40 years in the past.
Even after weeks of storyline that had Bo unconscious or brainwashed, followers by no means doubted that he and his beloved Hope would discover their approach again together–and they did, for all of a scorching minute.

Then Bo’s personal son shot him, sending him again right into a coma and shipped off to a long-term care facility because the actor as soon as once more left the present.
Sure, there’s nonetheless hope that Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso will as soon as once more discover their approach again to Salem sooner or later, however for all of the hype round Bo’s quick return, this departure was a particular letdown.

Scott was a breath of contemporary air at Med — a Black former cop turned physician who usually labored with pediatric sufferers and served as a mentor to younger boys who had been prone to becoming a member of gangs. Sadly, after a brain-numbing story involving him falling for an undercover officer who would possibly or won’t have actually been working for the mob, Scott determined he was an excessive amount of like a cop nonetheless to succeed as a health care provider and exited stage left.

Numerous docs have come and gone over Med’s 8-year run, however this one was SO disappointing as a result of Scott introduced a unique voice to Med, solely to evaporate into skinny air after just one season.

Rollins turned such a pivotal a part of SVU that the collection hasn’t been the identical since she departed on Regulation & Order: SVU Season 24 Episode 9.

Followers had been robbed of seeing pleased Rollisi scenes and solely received a quickie marriage ceremony ceremony. Whereas the couple was married, we by no means even received scenes of them collectively in Regulation & Order: SVU Season 24 Episode 22, when Rollins guest-starred and introduced her being pregnant. Is there hassle with the pleased couple?

Allie and Chanel turned Days of Our Lives’ first same-sex feminine couple in addition to each ladies had been the primary bisexual characters to hit Salem. However when Lindsey Arnold (Allie) determined to go away the cleaning soap, DAYS rushed to put in writing her out. Within the area of every week, Chanel caught Allie dishonest on her with a person, the 2 broke up, and Allie tagged together with Sonny and Will to New Zealand to begin her life over.

This ending not solely strengthened stereotypes about bisexual characters being incapable of dedication but additionally eradicated three out of 4 LGBTQ+ characters in a single fell swoop! (to be truthful, all three actors needed to go away, however nonetheless).

Sadly, Maggie has at all times been a polarizing character, however none greater than her remaining season on the collection. She spent many of the season being an offputting individual to just about everybody round, treating her husband like rubbish, and inexplicably going off on interns. She up and determined to make the most of a profession transfer, following her ardour to Chicago, and it seemingly got here out of the blue.

After which her exit mainly received sandwiched between typical, mundane issues on Gray’s Anatomy Season 19 Episode 14. Sadly, she left much less likable than she was when she arrived, with a wedding in shambles, being distant from her sisters, and channeling Ellis Gray. Issues received barely higher when she reappeared in the course of the season finale, however not by a lot.

Severide is the center of Firehouse 51, and his departure on Chicago Fireplace Season 11 Episode 15was not the very best factor to occur to the present.

Granted that Taylor Kinney took a go away of absence for private causes, the character’s abrupt exit left a nasty style. Its largest impact was that extra hassle was launched in his marriage, and with how unstable Stella and Kelly are, this won’t be good for them. The character’s exit would possibly start the breakdown of #Stellaride. It felt like we had misplaced a facet of the present when fireplace investigations dried out.

One thing needed to be accomplished with Clay since Max Theriot Jr. had moved on to Fireplace Nation. He may have been given a snug, offscreen job as a counselor at Ray’s vet middle. However as an alternative, he was unexpectedly gunned down by cops on Seal Workforce Season 6 Episode 8 when he tried to assist a fellow veteran with misguided intentions affected by PTS.

This fashion, his dying had a significant affect on the members of Bravo Workforce and their households as an alternative of his simply being written off quietly. However killing off characters has turn into such a drained, emotionally manipulative trope.

At this level, F.B.I.: Most Wished has had a revolving door of characters, and there are such a lot of exits it is troublesome to maintain up with them up. Additionally, more often than not, they’re all unsatisfactory. Ivan Ortiz is a chief instance of a disappointing departure.

We had no thought it will be his final episode in the course of the season three finale, and by the point FBI Most Wished Season 4 Episode 1 rolled round, all we discovered, by way of a throwaway line, is that he left his job to go maintain his ailing father, leaving Hana with out her roommate and the workforce with no important a part of their time, a minimum of till they changed him with Ray.

After I discovered that Paramount+ picked up Joe Pickett from Spectrum Originals, I made a decision I might give it a go. It is a few sport warden who has a wholesome dose of crime to cope with, and the primary season may need been the bloodiest season of TV I’ve ever seen exterior of Recreation of Thrones.

Animals slaughtered left and proper (not only for searching), and other people gunned down over nothing. Joe and his spouse Marybeth even misplaced their unborn baby to a grotesque crime.

A lot to my dismay, the second season received off to a horrible begin in that division when Joe was after two redneck survivalists who shot him and his horse Lizzie via with a number of arrows and subsequently ate Lizzie! That was the definition of offensive. Fortunately, the season would not proceed in that vein.
