Daniel Leaving

[Smashing]

Whoa, whoa, whoa........

Yousef posted a blog saying he's off the show.
Does this mean they will kill Danielbeast off?

update: as posted elsewhere, Yousef is staying with the show after all.

If they do, I really hope he goes out in style. He's a major character in a story with only two major characters. His character deserves a cool exit, even if he's killed.
Unfortunately, in keeping with the creators style thus far, they'll probably just have him disappear again and have Bree make like 5 videos in a row saying "where's Daniel?....I'm scared...I don't know what's going on" which will be yet another let down.

Um...could you post a link to the blog?

Yousef...say it ain't so! Or say you're leaving because of the dreadful spam email that came out today. Cause that would be understandable.

Here's the link to his Myspace blog entry:

I think you may have to be his myspace friend to view it, so for those of you who aren't his "friend", here's the text:

not on lonelygirl15 any more

So yeah, today was an extremely shitty day for me. Basically to sum it up, because I dont want to get into the specific's I was told that I will not really be part of the LG thing anymore. That sucks. So I will be looking for another job in the resturant business. Thats what I was told, to start looking for another job today. It sucks to think that now I'm not a good enough actor to be on a show I was cast for, but hey, it is what it is. So I want to say to all of my new friends that it was a pleasure being able to talk with as many of you as I could. I will truly cherrish that in my heart. The breif time that I had was wonderful. I will still aspire to be a successful actor, looks like I've just hit a speed bump. Take care everyone, and good luck Jess, you were the best and I cant thank you enough for being in my corner. I cant thank you enough for the wonderful expeirence it was to work with you. Knock'em dead

Thanks intrigued. This is very depressing.

I'm unsubscribing to LG15 on youtube. If I want a video, I can come here to see if new ones appear.

Can't think of any other way to show my displeasure at that decision.

[corcaroli]

No!!

My emotional attachment to Bree and Daniel is what drives my appreciation of LG15. They can't just boot Daniel!

Oh, dear.

What are they thinking!? I think Daniel was cast perfectly and is a wonderful actor. Much more realistic that Jess, honestly. Few things have bothered me in the twists and turns of the show, but this one really does.

Some mysterious poster at the phorum called JayHank is ripping the creators a new one in his posts:
"The Beast Chat Thread:"

Okay, I've been informed via PM that my post was not "in character" enough, let me try again:

Daniel, I don't know what your beliefs are in God. And I know you and Bree have different beliefs. But here's the thing, what if God hated you, and was only interested in making money? What if someone told God that he could make more money by getting rid of you?

I don't know if that fits with your beliefs and Bree's beliefs about God, but sadly I have much reason to believe it's true.

God hates you. God only likes making money. I'm sorry that this is the universe in which you live.

in the stuffed animal "chat thread:

hey guys,

I have some bad news for you. You're only stuffed animals so this is probably going to be hard to understand.

Remember your friend Daniel? Well, he's not going to be around anymore. You see, unlike stuffed animals, some times people get really sick and some times their hearts stop beating and their brains stop thinking. This is called death. And when a person dies, we put him or her in a box, and bury them in the ground.

But that's not what happened to Daniel, little monkey. See, Daniel is played by an actor named Yousef. And even though he's dedicated his entire life to this project, The Creators (who only care about making money for themselves) decided to screw Yousef.

Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if God were a giant jerk? Well, in your world the Creators are God, and they are giant jerks.

In our world, the Creators spend most of their time lying to their fans. They're sort of like the scum of the earth -- wannabe film-makers who have built a mini-empire of lies, photographs of the Manson murders, and two talented actors to whom they've given virtually none of the credit. Okay, I see you're crying Thor. And I'm sorry. But it's the truth. Your universe was created by slimy, selfish jerks.

Well, I laughed. (and then I cried!)
