Yah, I think the writers really manipulated us on that one. (course when don't they!) I think viewers have been feeling sympathetic towards him with the firsthelicopter incident, his crush on Elizabeth etc. So they didn't want chaos and uproar when he left. Also they made us think Chuck was dead too, so when we put Chuck and Romano side by side of course we going to cry over Chuck right. (which I did). Anyway thats my two bits on the whole thing, I have to admit its to bad they killed him off/ he left the show. they should have dropped the helicopter on the second year medstudent....y'know the dumb redhead!

i cannot say how much i HATE that guy!

K, I missed this show! So a helicopter lobs his arm off and then a helicopter lands on his head? Oiy. And I actually liked him. Sure he was irritating, but you could see that he was needy and needed some love. I think he was in love with Elizabeth. Anyway, I guess we'll find out.
