Sara Collins mystery on Vanished will be wrapped up soon
If you have been following Vanished - and granted, few of you are - you saw character lead Detective Kelton (Gale Harold) killed off since he was coming too close to discovering the truth about Sara’s vanishing. While there have been rumors that Gale Harold was acting like a prima donna on set and it may have contributed to his sudden demise only 7 episodes into the series, but the producer denies that is the true reason behind the odd decision. Instead, they were thinking “outside the box.” And I guess killing off the lead definitely qualifies as “outside the box”.
Ausiello was there with an interview with Vanished producer for the full scoop.
Ausiello: So, just to be clear, this was solely a story-line-dictated decision, and had nothing to do with Gale or his performance?
Berman: No. Fox told us to think outside the box from the beginning. We’re not constrained by, “Oh, we have a [contract] with him for this season.” We want this to be an edge-of-your-seat kind of show. And I think now, with killing off our main character, no one can guess what’s going to happen next.
Vanished has not yet been picked up for additional episodes after the first thirteen, hence wrapping up the the Sara Collins mystery by then. And if FOX picks up more episodes, they will be exploring additional multi-episode mysteries.
