I get the feeling a large part of the reason they haven't spoiled anything about Hotch's exit thus far is because it would logically invite questions about the entire incident that lead to Gibson being fired, and depending on what orders the network's given the cast/crew/writers/showrunner/etc., they may not be able to say much right now even if they wanted to.

I agree that it would be nice to at least have some general idea of where they might go with his storyline (and if they're still working out a more permanent explanation, that could factor into the lack of spoilers, too), so that people could either be reassured or prepare themselves for any tragic possibilities. But I think that's the biggest reason we're not hearing anything, that there's probably only so much they're allowed to say right now, if anything at all.

Plus, after having had to deal with that kind of negative press and talk for the past month, I think the show's probably looking forward to talking about anything that is NOT that right now, and want to keep their focus on promoting happier/more exciting things that could draw fans in and keep them watching instead.

ayrt

That does make sense, them not wanting to bring it all up again. Except that it gets brought up again (by fans) anyway whenever they release anything new, partly because of the lack of information.

I like the idea of them still working on it or drawing it out into a longer arc. That means it's more likely to be something satisfying. But there was a recent behind-the-scenes pic of Prentiss's name on what used to be Hotch's door. So I don't know how likely that is.

And I totally agree with you that focusing on the characters they do have is the best thing to do, except they're not really doing that either. Except for the new guy, we haven't really gotten much info on any other kind of storylines or what's up with the other characters. And it feels like most of that came out just this last week or so.

I don't know. This is definitely a messy situation, possibly even a no-win one, but I still think it could have been handled better. But I might just be biased because I'm annoyed it happened at all.
