So, recently it was announced on many sites that Tim Daly
(who has played Pete Wilder on ABC’s Private Practice for five years) will not be returning for the sixth season of the Grey's spinoff (which is rumored to be it's last, more on that later). Many fans are unhappy and the reasoning seems
to be Shonda Rimes didn’t handle it professionally. I am not sure I see that.
According to sources (Namely Daly’s twitter) Rimes notified Daly that his
contract was not being renewed via his agent. I kind of assumed that is par for
the course…am I wrong? Regardless, it’s called show business for a reason
people- emphasis on the business. Build a bridge, ok?
My feelings on Daly’s exit? Eh. Shall I expand on my eh? Ok,
here goes…I love Tim Daly (Wings represent.) I love Pete Wilder. I was very
much hoping for a Addison/Pete long term thing. I have grown accustomed to
Addison and Sam. I have even been looking forward to a potential Addison/Jake
thing but for a long time I held a candle for Pete and Addison. However, Pete
and Violet are killing me. The back and forth alone is nerve wracking but then
throw in who he has become since being with her…well; it’s enough to make me
violently ill.
I understand someone had to go for financial reasons (that
is my assumption at least, don’t quote me.) I wish it had been Violet (Amy Brenneman)
because her character is unnecessarily whiny and just irritating. But as sad as
I am to see Pete go at least he and Violet are done now. However a friend
pointed out to me that now we will probably have to deal with a season’s worth
of Violet complaining so buckle up Private Practice fans and get a helmet.
