| 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. | |
