Ian Somerhalder asked to leave "The Vampire Diaries" in Season 3.
"I was so upset about the trajectory of Damon, so much so that at one point I was sitting across from [showrunner Julie Plec] in her office in Atlanta almost in tears—actually, my eyes were quite misty—and asked out of the show. I was so angry about it. I wanted off. Because I saw the writing on the wall. Damon was heading toward the love-interest role. I was like, 'Sh*t, I’m in my early thirties, I’ve got a lot of this heat because of this show, I’m sure I could go find something that’s really cool and dark and edgy'... I was like, 'They’re going to turn me into a sappy character.' Julie was like, 'You’re not leaving the show. First of all, you’re one of the stars and one of the parts of the beating heart of the show; and two, you signed a six-year contract, so that’s not happening; and three, don’t worry, there has to be layers.' She said, 'Dude, I get it, Damon cannot be a one-trick pony. This is a one-hundred-episode arc of a man, there are ups and there are downs, and there are times when he’s the villain, there are times when he’s the hero.' I had to trust in that process."

Sarah Jessica Parker says "I don't care" that some people like to hate-watch her "Sex and The City" sequel series, "And Just Like That":
“I don’t think I have the constitution to have spent a lot of time thinking about that. We always worked incredibly hard to tell stories that were interesting or real. I guess I don’t really care. And the reason I don’t care is because it has been so enormously successful, and the connections it has made with audiences have been very meaningful.”

That was a perfectly fine finale. I was expecting the worst based on some reactions. It did feel like a fitting end. Loved the talk about marriage and being alone throughout, and I like that Carrie is in her own finally. #AJLT
Goodbye, Carrie Bradshaw: #AndJustLikeThat is ending after Season 3.
"The ongoing storytelling of the #SexAndTheCity universe is coming to an end," says showrunner Michael Patrick King. "While I was writing the last episode of 'And Just Like That' Season 3, it became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop. Along with Sarah Jessica Parker, Casey Bloys and Sarah Aubrey, we decided to end the popular series this year with a two-part finale and extended the original series order from 10 episodes to 12. SJP and I held off announcing the news until now because we didn’t want the word ‘final’ to overshadow the fun of watching the season. It’s with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years.”
