Tumblr broke the bad news over the weekend that Adam Senn has confirmed that he will NOT be returning to HTF s4. I am surprisingly upset by this news, given my reservations about what a season four might hold for Jude, Zero, and Zude.
I will be joining the ranks of people not watching the show, even if Jude is on because I can’t imagine how they’d write Jude without Zero while still keeping Zude. And if they decide to give Jude another love interest, I’m not here for that.
This does seem to add credence to my speculation that the renewed show will focus on new characters, possibly a new generation, because everyone got closure in the summer special, and Ahsha and Derek moved to Miama, so they’d have to undo that . . . and I’m not interested in watching that. (Unless we see Jude’s son or daughter running the Devils, which I highly doubt.)
If you need to vent, please feel free to do so in comments.

Any reasons for Adam's absence?

Date: 2017-08-15 09:04 pm (UTC)At the end of season three, Jelena was reluctantly stuck with Zero as a player since she couldn't trade him and Derek left. So, what if season 4 takes place just far enough in the future, that Jelena would have had the chance again to trade him, -off-screen? The so-called "flashbacks" with Jude, could have taken place chronologically somewhere between season 3 and 4, possibly of Jude resigning and/or saying goodbye to Lionel (and making sure she's ok) before he goes off to be with Zero.
For us it would be a bittersweet goodbye to Zude, but it could give them *another* Happily-ever-after!
IF this or something in this vein is done, I know I would watch at least this one episode of the show.

Date: 2017-09-20 05:00 am (UTC)I feel Zero and Jude would fight for Zero to stay if someone tried to push him out, but what if it's their choice? What if enough time has passed since season 3 and Zero's had time to accomplish (at least most of) his professional goals. Could you see him just choosing to retire after his contract is up instead of renegotiating a new one? Jude could still work for the Devils and Zero could be mentioned ("Zero? He's at home with the babies..." ;) ). Sort of like they did with Olivia at the beginning of season two. She was there, but not in any scenes.
Then again, maybe Zude just wants to get as far away from Oscar as possible...

Who knows what they will do. I just hope they don't end the Zude story with something bad. They already had such great closure in the summer special.
