If Adam is indeed leaving...hell if both of them are leaving b/c I am still hung up on Emily's use of the word "we" in her interview and the fact that I find it hard to believe she would air out Adam's "dirt laundry" so to speak....the writers better give E/C and its fans their due.
I'm sorry I keep saying it but I just get the feeling that both might be leaving....I am probably sooo very wrong but my gut won't leave it alone.
Anyway.....
Like you said you don't spend 7 years building something up, get the couple together and then leave it completely unresolved b/c one half of the ship is leaving the show. It would be a total cop out b/c there are no guarantees that Adam would come back for an arc involving them. Their best bet, if they are smart which lately the juror is still out on, will be to resolve E/C's issue and make them happy happy before his exit. It would be hard to do considering he would be gone from the show but there is nothing that says his character has to actually leave Miami (the city not the show). He could frickin retire from the force and do something else in the area or even switch to the nightshift like some have suggested...there are many possibilities, the city of Miami is
huge. Writers seem to feel the need, when an actor leaves a show, to have them move to some obscure location on the planet few have ever heard of for some even more obscure reason....something I think is completely retarded and unnecessary. We, as fans, know the actor has left the show and that it is a tv show, we are not stupid....this show ignores all common sense anyway so we wouldn't be
that nit picky (although there are some who might) to constantly complain that at some point the team should run into the character during an investigation. Like I said, Miami is huge....it would be plausible for the team to move about the city and
not run into him. Undoubtably though and b/c these writers often lack creativity, Eric will be leaving the state of Florida and more than likely the frickin country.
Now if Adam is only around for the first 10 eps of the season, that imo, is more than enough time to get them over whatever issues they are having as a result of the events in the finale. I mean how long, even if he wasn't leaving could you possibly drag it out w/o it getting boring and redundant? Redundancy seems to be the forte of these writers in the last few years so anything is possible but seriously. I often wonder if they do stupid sh*t like this on purpose or if they are actually that moronic.
Given Emily has expressed her desire to have a baby and the fact that I think she would absolutely hate it if they didn't write it in b/c it would mean she would be stuck in the lab standing behind things for a better part of the season....I am hoping that they get E/C back together right before he leaves and Cal turns out to be pregnant. They don't necessarily have to be a couple when he leaves, they just have to have sex. I know it is cliched but really if the writers write it in, how else are they going to explain it? or deal with it? It is a catch 22 really when you think about it. Then if Adam agrees to come back for a small story arc they could do something with it and E/C then. It would probably help them write Emily out for her maturnity leave too....don't forget, they would have to explain Cal's absence even if the pregnancy is written into the show....I don't really see her going home since, from what we know, she isn't very close with her family. So Eric could return and she could be off with him for a while.
BUT so god help me if they have her get pregnant from a one night stand with someone....my god if that happens I think I might actually write a letter to the writers and literally call them the dumbest people on the planet. Or better yet fly to L.A. and bitch slap each and every one of them :lol:
