Sadly, that's always the way with the companions, even the really popular ones. Actors deciding to leave the role aside, it is an unfortunate necessity if the show is going to continue growing. A show without change stagnates, and that which stagnates dies...or is given to a bad showrunner who does stagnation's job instead.

I'm sorry, but there is no way in hell that the actor didn't improvise some of those lines. That part where he yells about being run over by a cab.

@@samtrotter7177 A little improv from a creative type in the moment can really add something. Since the advent of digital cameras, directors have and grant more leeway for multiple takes. And I think actors like Ryan Reynolds spend a lot of time before production, noodling with their lines. But maybe there is too much emphasis on it and too little emphasis on a tightly written story lines and scripts. I guess it depends on the writer and how good the writing is. If they nailed it, there's not much you can do but make it worse with a bunch of vamping.

It would be like Joey, if he was joined by Janice and maybe David the physicist. Entertaining characters in their own right, but not why people watched the show, and not enough depth to them to be entertaining over a long time.
