According to reports, Dale actor Jeffrey DeMunn became a bit, um, difficult on set after his pal (and Walking Dead creator) Frank Darabont was fired from the show, which could explain why his character – who has a far longer run in the comic – was removed early.

His character was "removed early" because he quit

Their final appearance came in 'Expose', an episode considered the show's nadir by many fans (it's between that and Jack's tattoo episode, 'Stranger In A Strange Land').

It's hated because it contributes nothing to the plot – main characters don't appear, mysteries aren't established or resolved – and it seems to only exist to set up an in-joke about what a mistake it was to introduce the characters in the first place

Um, loads of main characters appear. They're just not the main focus (which was actually a refreshing change for a one-off) AND IT'S EXPOSÉ, NOT EXPOSE.

They can ****ing leave Angela Darmody alone too, the cads.

Christ, I'm turning into Marsh
