Vanished: Resurrection marks Gale Harold's final episode

[tavm · 7/10 · 2 October 2006]

Last week, there were blood stains on the wall of the cabin where we found Sara Collins held prisoner inside. As the investigation continues, enough evidence is discovered to confirm that Senator Jeffrey Collins' wife is dead. Only the senator's family knows this information. After the breakup with the cameraman, reporter Judy Nash crashes in the apartment of an old flame and spends the night there. Kelton attends his daughter's communion with his ex-wife where he hears someone contact him confidential info that causes him to rush out of church. This was after he went on national television with the ID of the license plate of Sara's abductors. This gets him in trouble with his superior. When Kelton arrives in D.C., he meets with the man who was Judy's flame and gets told he might be removed from the case. With his wife now dead, Senator Collins goes to the confirmation hearings with the intent to vote no. At this point, Lin Mei finds that the blood in the cabin was made to look like a violent struggle took place between Sara and her kidnappers. In other words, Sara is still alive! After Kelton hears this, he rushes to the court before Collins can cast his vote. Through his FBI contact, he manages to fake a virus alert before the final vote from the senator is recorded. With the senator out of the building with everyone else, Kelton reports to him about his wife's survival and tries to tell him something else just as he gets shot and lays dead, blood now surrounding him...So we begin with one death that turns out to be faked and end with another death that is all but confirmed visually. This marks the last episode for the show's star Gale Harold after the first 7. Eddie Cibrian who appeared as Nash's old flame will take over after three weeks. Campared with the others, this one episode doesn't have too many subplots to confuse the viewer with the connections to the Missing Sara case. Certainly the little girl's communion was a nice break to the how-can-we-keep-the-viewers-on-edge-angles of previous episodes. Having liked Cibrian on the much-missed Invasion last season, here's hoping he brings Vanished a much needed shot in the arm!

Killing of agent Graham Kelton

I swear I thought the largest morons were republican politicians well, Leder & Berman make them look like geniuses.Firing Gale Harold, who has a larger fan base than any actor on their show, duh! We were just getting to know his wife Ava and his beautiful daughter Inez and suddenly you drop this bomb, I was also distressed that a unknown source,said the cast and crew didn't like him, he never had that feedback before so perhaps sour grapes are adrift!Move the show to Friday, it won't matter to me and my friends we won't be watching, this was the first serial I have viewed and it is the first time I've watched Fox it will be the last.I've watched Gale on QAF,FATHER AND SONS,MARTHA BEHIND BARSM LAW AND ORDER SVU, and two shows of THE UNIT, I've bought dvds of QAF 1-5, FATHERS AND SONS, WAKE, PARTICLES OF TRUTH, AND RHINOCEROS EYES, and believe me you were lucky to get him, he's a class act and was given no respect what so ever, my Friday nights will be spent watching one of his dvds, the man is awesome!!!!

Vanished as a show....I believe the writing and acting are....what can I say, except , it's a great show but it's not the same without Gale Harold's character

I'm sorry to see Gale Harold's "Graham Kelton" killed off Vanished. The plot may seem convoluted but in the end, it will all come together. I'm considerably curious about the connection between Dead Sea parchment scrolls in Hebrew and Sarah Collins unexplainable kidnapping. The kidnappers are very sophisticated in their use of technology, but so then, is the FBI. Graham Kelton, was very intuitive and knew what was going on. He had great investigative skills. I'm not so "crazy" about the man replacing him a lead agent. There was a great rapport between Ming-Na and Gale Harold...unless I'm not reading the body language correctly, where's the chemistry between Ming-Na and the new lead Agent? OK, so I'm biased. Divas, genuine divas, are demanding and can make life miserable for the rest of the cast and crew and I cannot see Gale Harold being like that.

Gale's being killed off!

Well, i don't really know what to say. I'm really and truly shocked to see how agent Kelton ends. It makes absolutely NO sense to me, why they had to have him killed off and replace him with that new agent (Eddi Cibrian). I mean, he even had a daughter....why did they had to write such a stupid end for him. It's just plain dumb to think that just putting this Eddi guy in the show will push the numbers. It's not fair! I think he did a fabulous and terrific job...... And i don't understand why they want to replace Gale Harold??? It sure as hell couldn't be because of his acting talent, right?? He was more than good, and i think for all of his fans it' s tragedy that he's cut out of this great show that early. At first i thought - because i heard that somewhere - that his death is not what it seems like! Well, i saw how he was shot, his death is real!! That's for sure. First i thought i'll watch the next episode (8), but now i know that there'll probably be a funeral, and we'll all see his wife, and his beautiful little daughter at his carve crying for her daddy to come back to her - well thanks, but no thanks!!! I won't do that to myself!

Ridiculous

I can't believe that you would fire someone just because their co-workers don't like him/her! Especially when the most important thing should be how well he/she doing the job and how do the fans relate to him/her...

Well let's just say that I am disappointed once again with a show put out for a season that is not given a chance even though this time it's an actor and not the show but I guess that will soon follow...

I agree that we were just starting to know the character. He started as a two dimensional character but we were just starting to see more of what made him tick with this episode. We can see how much his previous case affected his life. Since I only read the previous comment I am not 100% sure that he is dead but in case it is true I am writing this in the hopes that the powers that be might come across this comment and realize that they made a HUGE mistake!

Gale's not gone yet.

A Fox spokesperson rejected this contention, saying that Harold's online bio was provided by the actor, and referring questions to Gale Harold's publicist, Nancy Seltzer. Seltzer acknowledged that the bio was scant on details, but said that was Harold's preference: "If he could, he wouldn't even have a bio at all. He feels the work should be the focus. It's a very purist view about the work he's currently doing, whatever it is, and no reflection on any past work. When he was on Queer as Folk, he didn't talk about his films or other roles, either." A few days after Vanished debuted, rumors began circulating that Harold was being replaced on the show. Some, but not all, of the speculation was based on an alleged scene in the seventh episode, in which Agent Kelton's body is supposedly seen in a morgue. When asked whether or not Harold's character was being killed off, Seltzer laughed. "I've heard the rumors, but everything about Vanished and its plot, like that of Lost, is a big surprise," she said. "Nothing is what it seems to be." Similarly, a Fox spokesperson said that Fox doesn't comment on Vanished story line rumors, but intoned mysteriously, "Stay tuned."
