After seven seasons of sitting in Lt. Fancy's office feeling frustrated over the size of his role, James McDaniel decided it was time to go. The producers, eager to add as many new faces as possible to their aging show, agreed to let McDaniel leave midway through season eight, replacing him with Esai Morales as the new squad boss.

In fourth grade after performing as Eeyore in "Winnie The Pooh." He found acting fun and that he had a talent for it and was hooked from then on. back

James was Elizabeth's closest male relative. He was part Tudor as well, being the great-grandson of Margaret Tudor, eldest daughter of the first Tudor king, Henry VII.

Contrary to popular rumour that he had a contractual dispute with CBS at the end of the eleventh season, MacArthur told attendees at the 1996 Five-O convention that he was in South America on a holiday and just phoned his agent and said "I'm not coming back," and it was as simple as that. He'd had enough.

Between Charlotte Ross' desire to stay home with her own new baby, the lower budget for this season and some other professional issues between Charlotte and the rest of the cast and crew, she won't be coming back at any point. So Connie is home with the kids, or out of the room when we see Andy at home with Theo. They're still married; we just don't see her anymore.

Like James McDaniel before him, Esai eventually grew frustrated with the limitations of playing the boss on a show about detectives and asked out of his contract. My management and I decided, if I'm going to be off the market for features and other shows, I should have a more substantial part," he said. "I'm going to be off the market, let me make some Dennis Franz money or get that kind of screen time."

When Kim Delaney left NYPD Blue after the eighth season to star in Philly -- a series specifically created for her by Steven Bochco, who felt that Blue couldn't showcase her talents enough -- it was with the agreement that Kim could return to Blue if the new show was canceled quickly. It later turned out that Kim's contract defined "quickly" as "in 13 episodes or less." Since Philly essentially ran for a full season, Bochco was no longer bound by that agreement.

Smits came in as a last-minute replacement for David Caruso, and signed a four-year contract in doing so. When the end of that contract was nearing, he decided it was "time to move on.

Caruso asked for a major-league raise in pay for the second season, asking for $100,000 an episode (as opposed to the $20,000 per episode he was paid in the first season). The producers refused to go higher than $80,000 for fear of upsetting the rest of the cast, and eventually, a compromise was worked out: Caruso would appear in the first four episodes of the second season to allow the writers to give John Kelly a graceful exit, at which point he would be freed from his contract to do films.

According to a section of True Blue, Milch's book about the early seasons of the show, the writers quickly ran out of room for the character of Laura Kelly, especially once they realized the chemistry between Dennis Franz and Sharon Lawrence and began writing more scenes for Sylvia Costas. Sherry was a good sport about it, and went to Bochco and Milch with the suggestion that letting her out of her contract might be the best for everyone. They did so, and Sherry got a job as Dr.

I'd like to say I planned [to quit], but I was fired. My character demanded so much attention, and without David Caruso what was I? They tried putting Janice behind a desk. But she's a mobchick. So they wrote me off the show."

Though he was one of only three castmembers who'd been with the show from the beginning (Dennis Franz and James McDaniel are the other two), Nick really hadn't been given a whole lot to do since David Caruso -- who played Martinez's mentor John Kelly -- left at the start of season two. He's tried to develop several sitcoms, without much luck getting them on the air.

Andrea quit in part because she was couldn't take the stress of the last-minute pace of the show, as well as the amount of time it kept her away from her family. But the main reason she's gone is because, at 40, she wanted out of the acting business to pursue a career in TV journalism. After a one-year stint as a reporter for a local station in New Mexico, she had a controversial, widely-panned stint as an anchorwoman for CNN's Headline News, which she left after seven months.

After nearly three seasons on the show, Rick declared that he wasn't happy spending so much time in Los Angeles away from his wife and kids and the family ranch. Bochco agreed to let Rick out of his contract. This was true to a point, but only half the story. As Rick recently revealed, his wife had a late-term miscarriage during his third season on the show, and he decided he needed to be home for a while to help her get over the trauma. Technically, no. In every other way, yes.

Because he appears in a WWI picture that she used in her research. After she is told that the bullet from his leg is circa 1917, she finds the picture on her wall and begins to go insane. Then again, when Railly looks at Cole with the fake wig and moustache, she says "This is how I remember you," which seems to indicate a deeper explanation.

James the Lesser was a cousin of Our Lord, and not at all a son of the Blessed Mother. However, the Greek work for brother, adelphos, is also used for close relatives, and as well as brother also has a meaning rather like the English word brethren.

I left the MoD in November 2006 after a 21 year career. I'd passed the Assessment and Development Centre, so could have applied for a post at B2 level (formerly known as Grade 7 and Principal), but had already deputised extensively at this grade, so decided it was an appropriate time to move on to fresh challenges outside the Department. There were media stories about your resigning in protest at the UFO project being closed down, and about your warning about alien invasion.

There's not a lot you can write about the squad secretary, and once Greg and Donna broke up, Gail's role on the show shrank so much that sometimes weeks would go by without her saying anything. Fox offered her own sitcom -- she made a pilot, but it didn't get picked up -- and she decided it was time to move on. She's been working in movies lately, and even returned to Blue for a brief cameo in the sixth season episode "Mister Roberts.

No one has said anything publicly, but it's not hard to extrapolate that Justine wasn't happy with the mess that was made of her character in the third season. Some rumors have floated that she was difficult to work with; others claim the producers just wanted to rid themselves of a character they'd written into a corner.
