| Just to be clear - House of Cards Season 6 was already planned on being the final season. They decided that over the summer. They are not canceling it BECAUSE of this controversy. I'm seeing people posting that all over the place and it is both misleading and not true. From what I understand, it is filming right now. | |

| I don't watch the show but couldn't they kill his character off using a combination of footage and doubles, shooting around him like they did when Jean Harlow died while filming "Saratoga"? It may not be the ending that the writers had in mind for his character in what might now be an abbreviated season, but it is an option. | |

| I don't think so. The whole series revolves around his character. If they kill him, most likely that would be the last episode. If they should decide to go that route, they'd be wise to hire Anthony Rapp to portray the assassin. | |

| That wouldn't be wise and it's really not funny. I'm sure Anthony Rapp never wants to be around him again. | |

| I wasn't trying to be funny. I was making a suggestion for poetic justice. | |

| Yes, that's what I'm seeing as well. TVLine: "Multiple sources confirm, however, that the decision to bring HoC to an end was made months ago and was not in response to the allegations. (A Netlix rep confirms this.)... Production on House of Cards‘ sixth and final season began earlier this month despite the fact that Netflix never officially confirmed that it had even ordered a Season 6." I'm not surprised the Spacey news made them want to go public with that decision, though. |

| It's going to be weird. I don't know how far along they are but I can see them re-writing down his presence. | |

| If you look at the third series of the original HOUSE OF CARDS from the BBC, there's a perfect template for writing out Spacey's character. The last series finale already seemed to refocus the show on Robin Wright's Claire anyway. Even without following the BBC template, given the direction things were going in the last finale, it would be very easy to completely sideline Spacey's Frank and the show wouldn't miss a beat. |

| Perhaps... but my guess is it's too soon to speculate. It's playing particularly badly with the gay community right now -- for obvious (and deserved) reasons -- but I suspect much will hinge on whether anyone else comes forward with similar allegations or whether it remains an isolated 30-year-old incident. | |

| FWIW New York has no statute of limitations for this crime. I think his career is over, certainly on the New York stage. I don't think this chapter has been written yet, but I think what is "playing bad" is not limited to the gay community. I think his conflation of his gayness and his crime is unforgivable in the gay community, but the crime alone is unforgivable to everyone except I guess the pedo community. So there is my speculation, untimely as it may be. | |
