Details from Get Desperate!

Touchstone Television today revealed that Page Kennedy (Caleb), Betty Applewhite's prisoner in the basement, was fired from the show.

Although the specifics of the dismissal were unknown, Touchstone Television publicist Janet Daily said that he was let go after a "thorough investigation by the studio" reported CNN.com. A source told CNN that the misconduct did not involve another castmember.

Kennedy made his first appearance in episode three of season two, "You'll Never Get Away From Me." He then appeared again in "They Asked Me Why I Believe in You". The writers of Desperate Housewives have a few potential avenues to take with the actor's departure. If his character is still in the show at time of filming, they can re-cast the role, or they may choose to write the character out of the series if the storyline permits. Another possibility is that they will re-film current scenes in episodes that have been shot, but have not yet aired, with a new actor so that the change is less pronounced.

The actor took a risk in taking the Desperate Housewives role, revealing last month that he turned down a role on a WB series to take the role of Caleb. "Even if they killed me off, I think that the exposure I may get from this show might be bigger than if I lasted five years with Pepper Dennis," he said at the time.

The original report can be found over at CNN.com.

So what do you DH fans think? I would hate for them to get rid of the storyline of the man in the basement. It was so suspensful and it was keep Alfre Woodar's role important!
 
he hasn't been seen enough for it to really affect anything if they recast him. and i hope they do. i like this storyline.
 
^^

Yeah that's too bad. I wonder what happened, he seemed like a good actor. Is the storyline ending.

Blame work schedule for missing it.
 
Yeah I hope they keep him
*spoilers*

The previews for this week show him escaping and the ambulence called for some reason so maybe they are killing him off?

The next episode was filmed way before Kennedy is fired. So I doubt this storyline will expire in this episode, but this will be the final episode for him.

As for what will be happening, as I read the paper today, they are re-casting him.
 
Nashawn Kearse Hired As New Caleb

After it was revealed yesterday that Page Kennedy (Caleb) was sacked from for "improper conduct", the studio moved quickly to draw a line under the matter by recruiting his replacement.

Caleb will now be played by newcomer Nashawn Kearse, according to Variety. Kearse's roles include parts in Entourage, Law & Order: Criminal Intent and the 2004 movie Taxi. Kearse also provided voiced a pedestrian in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Kearse recently filmed a role in My Brother, which is currently in post-production. It tells the story of two impoverished boys called Isaiah and James. Their mother is dying, and James is disabled, so she tries to create a bond between the brothers that will last them through life.

Meanwhile, more news has come to light about the reason for Kennedy's dismisall. The National Enquirer alleged that he exposed himself to two crewmembers. The first incident apparantly involved an assistant, but she didn't initially make a complaint. After he did it again, this time to an assistant director who made a complaint, the assistant came forward and reported her incident. E! Online's Kristin cited the same reasons for his dismissal in a messageboard post.

According to Variety, this Sunday will be Kennedy's last appearance as Caleb.

The original Variety article can be found here. Kearse's IMDb page can be found here. The items on Kennedy's dismisall can be found at The National Enquirer and E! Online.
