Goombah, as your fellow Wing-nut, I was so very sad to see this news. John Spencer was a great actor, and Leo will be missed immensely. Leo has been the glue that has held this cast together and I can't imagine WW without him. My favorite Leo moment?? The one with Josh, after Josh has spent the day with the psychiatrists for his PTSD, and he finds Leo waiting for him. Leo then tells him the story about the man in the hole, and finishes with, "As long as I've got a job, you've got a job."
To be completely selfish, I wonder what will happen with the storyline? I'm sure that they have Santos/McGarry as the victors of this election, and I'm sure that this season has already been filmed. As a matter of fact, I think that the next episode is supposed to be the debate between the VP candidates. What are they going to do? Who will the new VP be?? How is Jed going to deal with Leo's death??
