They are writing Manu Bennett out of Season 2.

From some high placed sources I've heard Manu Bennett has been extremely difficult for the producers to deal with on this show.

He shows up without his lines memorized, insults actresses on set, and is very difficult to direct.

As someone who has worked on a production that he was involved with, none of the above surprises me. The guy has a history of assault and alcohol abuse to boot.

The rumor is they are trying to write in some kind of change to Allanon's appearance after he stepped through the portal at the end of the season so they can cast another actor in the role for Season 2.

Since he's also been banned from being on any CW TV Show as well as any Starz show after his violent outbursts and antics on the sets of both Arrow and Spartacus, I would be shocked if we don't see news of a new Allanon actor very soon.

I like his portrayal of Allanon. Sorry to hear that he and other people are in some way having difficulties and stress during or around productions. Not the best thing to let things get a hold of you. Meditation might help as mind is important.

100% agree. My father has inside sources in Pentagon who know of the social projects being congrued by Hollywood and all these high placed confidential sources tell me Manu not only does a lot of drugs but also engages in sodomization technique. Be careful you guys.
