Michael Cassidy Leaves ‘Privileged’; Louise Mourns

Ausiello just posted the news that Michael Cassidy, aka Charlie, is leaving Privileged for “creative and budgetary” reasons. While showrunner Rina Mimoun confirms that Charlie will be leaving – heading back to college – in the season’s 15th episode, she promises “some hot and heavy kissing” before he takes off. Hmmm…Charlie and Megan, sitting in a tree?

Mimoun also says the door is open for Charlie to return next season, if there is a next season. Did you hear that Louise? This is not necessarily permanent!
