George Eads is gone. Back in October, he had been suspended for having fights with cast and crew. Now they have officially fired him. NO MORE JACK!
My heart breaks. I understand why they fired them, and this is not the first job he's had problems on CSI being another. I guess when you know you're a favorite character you feel like you can do anything. In his defense, we do not know the entire situation, but if they fired such an important part of the show they really, really had to.
I for one plan to keep watching the show. The show is more than just one character and I think the rest of the team is good and they have good chemistry. I will always love MacGyver but I probably won't be obsessed like I was. I craved the almost father/ son chemistry even though it actually was not seen on the show very often. Life is full of change. In the long run, I suppose, this is just another.

I never meant to impugn George as a person, unless you're in someone's shoes you don't know what the deal is. I do know that I could feel the tension between him and the other actors more this season. I felt the same thing when Hotch left Criminal Minds. I would like to believe that George left in good standing to be with his daughter. I think that'd be awesome, but stories of physical altercations with cast/ crew/ directors etc. have followed him since his time on CSI. The truth is probably in the middle of either end.
Whatever reason he's leaving for he will be missed.
