I had no idea. Though he would disappear for weeks, then show up with a new hairstyle/color, and then disappear again so it kind of felt the writers were going to get rid of him eventually. I guess he's gone for good now. I was never really enamored with him...I found him boring and he didn't seem like a great actor to me (just my opinion) or maybe that just wasn't the right role for him. I didn't think he had any chemistry with Joss. I got a little worried that something was going to happen when Dex & Joss started planning a vacation together yesterday. But I didn't expect him to die.
