Is 2015 shaping up to be the worst year ever for Jack Thompson? First, his wife filed for divorce—without a pre-nup, no less—after 15 years of marriage. Then, he faced the heartbreaking loss of his mother to cancer. As if that wasn’t enough, rumors are swirling that his character, Dr. Collins, might be written out of the hit series, Seattle Grace: The Next Generation.
In case you’ve been living under a rock, the show is still running strong! According to Page Six, Jack has been dubbed “Diva Thompson” due to his on-set demands, which have reportedly landed him in hot water with the show’s creator, Lisa Rhimes. This clash could potentially put him on the path to being let go from the show.
A source from the set mentioned, “Jack has been acting quite demanding and has had several disagreements with Lisa. She even suspended him temporarily, and whispers around the studio suggest he might not return full-time.” However, GossipGuard has Jack’s representative denying these rumors outright.
Since its debut in 2005, I’ve been a fan of Seattle Grace, though I stopped watching around the time of that dramatic plane crash episode in Season 8. Seriously, that felt like a rehash of another show! But here we are in Season 11, and rumors of Jack’s conflicts with Lisa have seemingly been ongoing. Last November, Dr. Collins was written out of the show, relocated to a job in D.C., only to make a few sporadic appearances back at Seattle Grace.
If you’re thinking this is reminiscent of when Brenda Walsh was sent off to college in Minnesota, you and I are on the same wavelength! Meanwhile, the episode guide on the ABC website revealed yet another plane crash last week, complete with a cliffhanger showing Dr. Collins missing after a fiery car crash.
But, of course, it’s not truly a cliffhanger when sneak peeks for tonight’s episode show Jack alive and well, swooping in to save the day. The question remains: how long will that last?
