😞 this sounds pretty accurate in terms of what the reason would probably actually be, but I'm sad if it's true.

Q. Our boy Ravi! Noooo!

A. Yeah I saw that. I don't know what to think for sure yet. I mean this kind of sounds like a joke that Kenny and probably even Oliver would think was funny. Oliver was joke hinting about Peter leaving at the end of last season. Including posting and deleting a twitter comment. So I'm not entirely certain it's not their idea of hype. Don't get me wrong it's absolutely not funny but I just don't know that they wouldn't find it hilarious. However ABC cut everyone's budgets. Every cast had to make cuts. Grey's cut several with significantly bigger roles than Ravi has on 911. And several shows got axed all together. 911 is not a cheap show to produce because of the effects and size of their main cast. Angela's salary alone is probably significant. It's entirely possible they just couldn't afford the extras anymore, and they are not going to cut Karen or Josh. They've both been around longer and feature in more episodes. So he sadly might have been a victim of the budget cuts. As I said in an earlier post we just don't really know anything. We're all speculating ourselves into oblivion. We're a little over a month away and I just think people are going to have to take a pause and just wait and see on everything. I know that's hard but even the filming seems all over the place so we're clearly not meant to be able to actually tell what's happening. They're either close to finishing or just finished filming episode 2 and look at how many locations they've already shown us. A ton. Which seems excessive for only 2 episodes so we're re just going to have to wait. Which always sucks.

Thank you Nonny! Much appreciated!

I'm going to be honest here. I don't know what to think about all of this. It still kinda feels like he might be trolling us? You know? It doesn't feel real somehow. I don't know. I kinda still expect him to pop up in some bts video this week where he gleefully informs us he was only kidding or something.

However, I didn't know about the budget cuts, so that does possibly paint a very different picture. I agree.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see if he pops up in any bts or in any of the episodes. 🫤
