Kirk Acevedo staying on Fringe or leaving the show for good?
Rumors over this actor's status have been swirling for weeks.
Yesterday, during the Fringe panel discussion at the Television Critics Association summer press tour, executive producer J.H. Wyman tried to clear the air regarding the future of Acevedo (and, of course, his character of Charlie).
Wyman said something heartbreaking happens with Charlie on the season two premiere and...
"That is going to be a continuing storyline throughout the season. It should thrill. Nobody ever really disappears, and they could come back at any time. There is a parallel universe. Maybe [Charlie] will show up [there]. I think a lot of the answers you're looking for will be clear in [episodes] two and three and four. You'll really enjoy it."
Regardless - or perhaps because - of what might happen to Charlie, Meghan Markle will debut as a new FBI agent when Fringe returns on September 17.
