From SOD, posted at SOC:

Finn Wittrock's one year deal has ended with AMC and he's opted to leave. Kreizman says Damon will go out under big/dramatic circumstances.

Knew he was leaving already, but dramatic circumstances? Does that mean Damon is going to be killed off? I would be sad! I like Finn Wittrock and Damon. I was hoping they were just going to send him off to college.

Killing him would be a very big mistake imo, like killing off OLTL's Drew, Al, and Duke. But especially in today's soap climate where they ask us to accept hitherto unknown and totally out of the blue relations to our beloved characters like every other month. We're always wary of this to begin with, then in someone like Damon's case we actually do grow to accept him, then they go and kill him off when he's only known his real father barely two years?? Bad, like why should we EVER care. Let the boy [!@#$%^&*] Liza and go to law school.

Totally agreed I know many think Tad didn't need another child, etc--those are all valid points but I think in this current soap climate, you really do have to keep some of these characters around, if even just off campus for possible comebacks.

Exactly, and thank you for agreeing. "Shocking deaths" aren't all that shocking anymore anyway, there's no real dramatic payoff here when Tad will inevitably move on probably about as fast as Erica did about Josh. I hope they keep him alive and the shocking part is Colby catching him knocking boots with Liza.

I'm one of the VERY few who hated how they killed off Josh too. Yes I hated, HATED the unabortion story, but Pratt's sudden death of said character, after I grew to not mind him, wasn't for me any sort of remedy.
