a non-romance storyline with the Sidwell blackmail for her medication. So she won't have to sit around for a couple of months with no storyline. And then it can kick into high gear when Steve returns this summer.
The question is the definition of "summer." I believe they shoot ahead and take a long break over Christmas. So does Steve mean the character will return in the summer, with Steve shooting in April or May for shows that will air in June and July? Or does it mean he won't start shooting until June?
He can't be presumed dead AGAIN, but they can say he is in France with Anna. That would suck persimmons because that means Anna would continue to be offscreen for a few more months.
I'm fine with his taking time for his personal life, but the show will need to give Britt a friend (Ava?) to talk to so it isn't just Britt being abused by Sidwell.
