I haven't posted in this forum for years (like, almost 10?), but I had to come here, and say how much this breaks my heart, whatever the reasons behind it.

But does "continue to appear on the show" mean in new episodes? That could just mean reruns.
This also calls into question if their characters are really relevant on the show anymore.

I dont know who this spokeswoman is from SW. But it's quite obvious that this news is true. So I'm not sure how this came about with her saying their not going anywhere.

Henson has had problems with HBO and creative differences in the past that's all I'm saying.

Sesame Workshop seems to be full of it if they think they can fire those guys and yet some how keep them around. Like saying we are going to fire you, but if for some reason we may need you for a cameo be ready.If that's the case and i where those actors I would tell them to stick it where the sun don't shine...

There's a difference between a show they acquired from another channel and an original series.
