ayrt
The fact that if the show is longterm having a vital role and leaving after the first season makes things difficult for everyone involved. Show runners and viewers alike. If they don't get offered a new contract then that's not on them, I mentioned that since it falls under 'problem with co-workers'. Chances are if the show is light on backing they won't have long term contracts right away, so if a main character leaves right away they basically doom the show to fail. Sure it might be their right to do so, but that doesn't mean I won't find that shitty, or unprofessional.
It's like quitting a job during a major project, you have every right to do so, but I will judge you for it.

I mean, in this case, the actress has been with the show for three seasons. Likely she had a three season contract (or maybe one season with the option for more) and decided this wasn't the best place for her any longer. I just don't think you can begrudge someone for doing what's best for themselves, their lives and/or their careers even if it's disappointing to you as the viewer. It sounds like you want people to be loyal to their shows/companies/work places, when in this day and age, those companies and studios, etc., aren't exactly offering loyalty back. I mean, your right to call it shitty and unprofessional if you want, but I think that's a bit OTT. (Curious if you'd say the same of the studio that cancels a show before the first season has finished airing or if it's just people you hold to this standard.)

I guess I should specify I don't know much about this show. So I can't say much about this actress in particular. All I'm saying is that people should be loyal to what they commit to, no matter who they are. Producer, actor, studio, it doesn't matter which. It's not a conspiracy theory I'm trying to start here, I guess I'm just not that cynical.

It has nothing to do with being cynical, you just have no understanding of how the industry works. An actor shouldn't have to sign their life away and be forced to continue a role they don't enjoy for an unknown amount of seasons because "loyalty". It's a job. If their contract is up and they think they can get a better role with better pay elsewhere there's absolutely nothing wrong with them deciding to leave. If the producers want them to stay badly enough, they'll offer them a better contract. If not, they'll recast. If the story can continue without the character, they'll be written off. This is a normal fact of the industry and is normally made aware of ahead of time.

Dude, I'm not saying any of that. Calm down. I get that people leave for different reasons, and there are ways around dealing with an actors disappearance. Not everyone is Mandy Patinkin and leaves without a word, some people do have respect for what they do.
I'm not sure what you're arguing about, we aren't exactly disagreeing here. This isn't a discussion about my 'lack' of understanding for the industry, or your lack of understanding for loyalty and common decency, it's just an opinion.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not the only anon replying to you in the thread, but what I was responding to was the judgement you were making that people were being shitty for leaving a show. Like above, you state "some people have respect for what they do" and what I was attempting to explain was.... actors have contracts. Actors typically can't afford to break contracts, so when they leave, it's because their contract is up. That means they have fulfilled their obligation. Just because the show isn't done with that character yet doesn't mean it's shitty for an actor to say, oh hey, my contract is up, peace out. They still fulfilled their promise and it doesn't mean they don't have respect for what they do. It just baffles me that you judge that so harshly, that's all.

[(Anonymous)]

Please use DA, or NAYRT then if that is the case. I do get that contracts can end, and actors have reasons for leaving. What I said was that I am more likely to judge someone when they leave very early in a shows creation, or when they have some obligation left to their character. If they have legitimate reasons, even if it's just a change of scene then I'll understand.
You might find that unnecessarily harsh, but it's how I feel. I'm not the type to go yelling about it either, so it doesn't make much of a difference what I think. I'm not even calling anyone out aside from Mandy, if only because he is known for doing these things. If you don't agree then thats fine with me.

It's not bad form even if it is early on in the show. People are disagreeing with you because your opinion is bad.
