TVLine has learned exclusively that a series currently airing on one of the big five broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW) is killing off it's star in it's season finale. I'm told the death will occur towards the end of the episode, which will just leave enough time for an emotional season ending cemetery scene in which [redacted] bids an emotional farewell to [redacted].

According to sources, the actor/actress in question has not yet been officially released from his/her contract, which has led some to speculate that the show could be setting up a Buffy-style bait and switch. A well placed insider, however, maintains, "As it stands now, [redacted] is not returning next season."

    NCIS and I think it will be
    David McCallum or Mark Harmon

    Well the obvious one would be NCIS, but the teaser element rules that out. Same with Castle as all the stars are out of contract so no need to release anyone.

    Though did cause a panic amongst Castle fans on social media. Until someone 😄 Helpfully pointed the contract item.

    I like the guess of Elizabeth Keane from The Blacklist.

    yeah your right :-S for some reason I had it in my head it was ABC.
    Did it not come out recently that Michael Weatherly was leaving NCIS - could it be him?

    I think it's someone from Reign. Could be wrong but just placing my bet.

    It can't be NCIS as that is already renewed and the link says the show is not yet renewed / returning.

    With NCIS at present that's continuing as long as Harmon is happy to stay.

    Guessing it could be Jane Doe- Jaimie Alexander- in Blindspot. (Rumoured to hate the tattoo make up and not get on well with the male lead)

    If not someone in a long running one.

    The TVLine link said "star" not "dead weight"!:p:kitty:

    If she *dies*, I won't miss her. And if she does leave, it's more likely she will be off on maternity leave, so there may that switch bait nonsense going on.
