Targeted For Firing

[Blind Gossip] The new season for a lot of returning shows is right around the corner.

It was rumored that that a young actor from a successful drama series favored by young adults had suddenly quit the show.

That is not true.

He did not quit. They chose not to renew his contract. That essentially means that he was fired.

Look, he’s been struggling over the past few years. Struggling over his coming out, struggling over his marriage, struggling with drugs and alcohol. He’s not in a good head space to work. This was best for everybody.

If you read Blind Gossip regularly, you knew long before everyone else that he had struggled with coming out, that his marriage was a disaster, etc.

It is sad, though, that those things have now impacted his ability to work.

He’s a cute and talented actor. He’s also a nice person. We hope that he will move on from this and that we see him in a new project soon!

    Colton Haynes.
    Arrow.
    I stopped watching when they shoved a bunch of terrible new characters to the forefront.

    Colton Haynes! from Arrow! Oh, that’s sad. Yes,I’ll miss him, although TBH, I’m several seasons behind. Just way too busy for TV.

    Colton Haynes/Arrow (“Targeted” for firing…)

    Loved the original comics when I was a kid. Never got hooked on the show.

    My heart goes out to anyone struggling with addiction. Doing it so publicly must be horrible! Get high because things aren’t going well in your life, the media spreads the news that you’re partying too much and it’s affecting other areas of your life, then you get high/drunk because your “private life” is front page news…

    awww… this has to be colton haynes, who is leaving arrow. i’ve never even watched his shows (yet!) – he just seems like a sweet guy who’s kind of messed up. i’m really rooting for him to get it together and start living his best life. :/

    Actor: Colton Haynes

    TV Show: Arrow (I wouldn’t really have categorized Arrow as a drama but well…)

    [Optional] Will you miss him on the show? I stopped watching the show in Season 3 so i guess (as for every Berlanti show) i won’t miss anyone. I wish Colton the best, he seems to be a great guy.

    Colton Hayes? Idk based on related blinds.

    IDK…I still do not think that in the closet stars should be excluded from having their lives displayed as front page gossip news. Think of all the A listers who lost jobs over headlines. I am genuinely sorry for his struggles, but, if you are showing up to work drunk and out of it…it is not just your income on the line…especially in Hollywood where shows are cut faster than carrots.

    This must be Colton Haynes about Arrow Season 8

    It’s quite visible that Colton has been struggling for a while now, especially in season 7 of Arrow, he looked a bit unhealthy and bloated (not fat) in wrong places.

    Poor Colton. Please get help soon. If you’re reading this, believe me, everyone loves you and everyone who knows you personally loves you support you and accept you.

    Colton Haynes

    Arrow

    I wont miss him tbh. I’m super stoked for the crisis on infinite earths arc for the cw shows! I really dont think his character is necessary for it.

    Colton Haynes
    Arrow (Hint : Arrows in target)

    It’s been reported all over the net that he won’t be returning for the final season.

    This seems to be about Colton Haynes on Arrow.

    He came out (after year of speculation and of course after Charlie Carver tested the waters for him several months before, they are similar type of actors but Charlie seems more inteligent and focused), his marriage was a disaster, and he seems to be struggling since them
