Being Human

So last night Frank and I watched the season 3 finale of Being Human UK version (the only version to watch really, although I will admit to watching the US version only to satisfy my ridiculous obsession with this program in-between UK episodes). In any event, just as the episode was starting I was surfing my iPad to see when season 4 was going to start (see? obsessed.) Well, not my smartest moment because imagine my surprise when my favorite character, I mean my all-time favorite vampire character is NOT, I repeat is NOT in the promos for the next season. So, do I stop there and wait until after the season 3 finale to see what happens? Oh no. No, no, no. I have to go fishing and Google 'Aidan Turner Season 4 Being Human'. And what do I find? THIS:

Aidan Turner Departs BEING HUMAN

and then THIS!

"...we won’t spoil the finale except to say it’s an exit for which a vampire has no return."

Seriously Connie? Could you be more a child of 'instant gratification'? Anyway, believe it or not, this still did not prepare me for what was to come. Nor, did I expect that I would cry at Mitchells' death knowing it was coming. But I did. I can't remember that last time I cried during a TV show, but the scene was that powerful. Well, at least to a vampire, werewolf kind of fan it was.

So now to wait and see how Mitchells death affects the next season. I'm holding out faith that the writers and remaining characters can keep the show as compelling as the previous seasons.

UPDATE: As I was searching for the links to the original article on Aidan Turners' leaving, I find THIS:

Russell Tovey has explained his decision to quit Being Human.

The actor revealed last week that he will no longer play werewolf George on the BBC Three drama.

Damn you Google. I mean how much is one fan supposed to take? Two main characters gone???Don't know how long I'll be sticking with this one.
