There’s one less name to remember at Sterling Cooper ad agency.
Bryan Batt, who played Salvatore Romano, won’t be returning to Mad Men this season.
And it sounds like no one even told him!
Bryan told the press that he was concerned about losing his job after last season’s finale where his character was outed and fired. Bryan was suppose to received the shoot schedules in December, but they never came.
Now, creator Matthew Weiner has admitted that Bryan won’t be back to the show. He explains:
“We don’t murder people on our show, but for there to be any stakes, there have to be consequences,. Losing Bryan was a tough moment for the show, but that’s where we are. I know how people felt about Bryan. I obviously love working with him, and he has been an indelible character since the pilot. But I felt it was an expression of the times that he couldn’t work there anymore. It’s the ultimate case of sexual harassment.”
And we couldn’t tell this all to Bryan before so he wasn’t sitting by the telephone like an anxious girlfriend because…?
