    Re: Fringe anyone?

    Well now the executive producer is reporting that he wasnt actually fired and will be appearing on the new season. I dont get it but whatever, Kirk posted on his very own Facebook page that he was fired so something is a little off since I cant imagine him making it up.

        Didn't like his character on OZ, but like many on the that gritty prison show I respected his fine acting. Thankfully it looks as though we will see him next season. He is an asset to Fringe.

          Fans couldn't change an execs mind and I can't see Acevedo being fired, posting it on facebook, and then accepting to take the job again. Maybe he was pranking fans.

            Ok, so according to latina.com Kirk Acevedo wasnt actually fired but his contract was up and Fox didnt renew it so he was released and will no longer be working on the show. The executive producers comment that he would be appearing next season I guess has something to do with the fact that some episodes have already been shot. So, in the end while Kirk wasnt technically fired his contract wasnt renewed and the outcome will be the same regardless. Here is a link to where I read this at......

              My guess is that Fringe didn't have the ratings Fox wants. It had good ratings, but not great ratings. Fringe also costs a lot of money per episode. A lot.

              Kirk Acevedo probably sees himself as a top biller for television. He has the history to ask for that sort of pay. Fox probably didn't want to pay him as a lead man and the execs at Fringe probably told Fox that he wasn't a lead man. So, the next best thing happens: you kill off the guy or have him leave.

                Acevedo wasn't fired-that's a lock. Executive produced Jeff Pinker has already stated he "was not fired" and also added:
                Like all things on Fringe, there is more to this story than meets the eye." "We have already seen two of him on the show...We have already met the second Charlie. He had a scar on his face.

                My guess is the whole Facebook thing was a lame double Charlie angle, indicating that one of the Charlies might be eliminated or at best removed from the FBI.

                  Wait...there was a second Charlie? I remember the scar, but I honestly overlooked that as a second Charlie. Riveting.

                    A bit more on that.

                    “…Executive Producer Jeff Pinkner telling them that Acevedo “was not fired.” Pinkner then added “like all things on Fringe, there is more to this story than meets the eye.” Pinkner went on to say that we’d even be seeing more of Acevedo’s Agent Francis in Season 2 - hinting at, perhaps, two Charlies. An our world Charlie and an alternate Charlie”
                    Pinkner also noted that we’ve already seen alternate Charlie on the show, allegedly sporting a scar.

                      This is like Fringe Lite. What's up with Francis!?

                      I, too, liked his character. At first I thought he was kind of funny looking but he seemed to get cooler and cooler every episode. By the end he was one of my favorite characters. Of course Peter is #1... he'll always be Charlie Conway to me.

                        I know its probably obvious to everyone but the episode where Olivia was having flashes of the otherside (presumably where she's at now with William Bell, but with this show who knows) is where we have seen the scarred Charlie

                          Yeah, and there was something else different in regards to a current case, but I can't remember what.

                            Now I remember. Thanks for that. I meant to look into this and just never did.

                              I'm telling you, Olivia is from that new reality. She won't be running into herself because she is herself from there and she hasn't seen herself in old reality because she's dead.

                                Good guess, but if that's true her circumstances would be the same as Peter's, because he is from the parallel Earth, and his counterpart on our Earth died as a child.
