On a season of Mad Men that was full of really sad things, one of the saddest was when Don fired Sal. We had some hope that the newly born Sterling Cooper Draper Price, in need of an art director, might find some room for him, but if this report on Vulture is true, it doesn’t seem to be happening:
According to Mad Men‘s Bryan Batt — who stars as Sal Romano, Sterling Cooper’s closeted art director, fired by Don after refusing to service a randy tobacco executive — he won’t return for the show’s upcoming fourth season. “I was supposed to be notified by December 31,” he tells TV Guide, “and nothing.” Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner makes it sound even more dire: “We don’t murder people on our show, but for there to be any stakes, there have to be consequences … I know how people felt about Bryan. I obviously love working with him, and he has been an indelible character since the pilot. But I felt it was an expression of the times that he couldn’t work there anymore. It’s the ultimate case of sexual harassment.
Sorry guys!
