even if bob did ask for the time off, why couldn’t they have just told us that at the beginning? like when we were all questioning what what’s going on would it have been so hard for jroth to send out a tweet about it? he is handling this so poorly
exactly!!!! that’s what i was saying in my tags. if we were told right away, we would have been more understanding, but jroth just played into bellamy being gone by pretending as if he didn’t exist. he didn’t even thank bob for his hard work in the cast photo tweet or something. bellamy was in the episode— they could have used a behind the scenes pic of bob with the beard for the countdown. but. they. didn’t. of course i’m glad that bob took time off for himself, but the way it was handled doesn’t sit right. i feel like if it were marie or richard or someone who was absent from everything, jason would have mentioned it.
i’m not mad about him not appearing, but i am upset that they didn’t at least TRY to include bellamy’s disappearance in the promos like “where is bellamy? tune in this season to find out!” or something.
