No More Dan

Finally officially announced by the PWFC via Peter's agent:

"We can now confirm that Peter has completed all his filming
obligations with the BBC for Holby City, and is back at home in Los
Angeles. The year has been the most extraordinary period work-wise -
exciting, challenging and lots of fun. Personally, it's been very
hard being so far away from family for such a long period. It's full
steam ahead, therefore, in the search for the next role."

A bit later: somebody on one of the Holby forums said he finished filming three weeks ago, and will only be on till mid October. So this is a double bummer if true, since I thought he'd at least be on episodes till late November.

I'm glad he's back home with his family, but I'll miss Dan.

[sigh] yeah. I really shouldn't have let myself get attached to the character and into the show knowing this was the likely outcome, but I did anyway.

As happy as I am for Peter and his family, I will admit to being sad for myself.

I did get more into Holby than I ever expected to. Dan is my favorite character right now and I will really miss seeing him every week.

I just hope Peter gets some great movie roles ( and for me, a great regular role on a weekly series—any series. [If Peter’s character could get me interested in Holby, than Peter’s character can get me interested in anything.])

Yeah, I really, really hope he doens't go back to doing guest roles on series I've never seen before. Something regular would be wonderful now that I'm thoroughly spoiled at seeing so much of him.
