Sony Pictures Television declined to say why one of series regulars is exiting the series so "abruptly."

I would hardly call him a key star. That guy didn't add anything to the show, was a very poor downgrade from Claire.

He lasted just a few episodes, then he was gone. Wonder what the reason was for that. :confused:
