Private Practice: Violet related scoop on season 6 regarding Tim Daly's exit from E! Online's Kristin Dos Santos

Here's some scoop on Private Practice from Kristin Dos Santos' Spoiler Chat Daily for Thursday 8/16/12.

Beth: I'm so bummed that Tim Daly won't be back on Private Practice. Will his exit be addressed on the show?
We're sad to see him go, too, and yes, his absence will definitely be felt on the show, especially by Violet. "My character at the beginning of the season, it's all about loss," Amy Brenneman tells us. "Tim is not coming back, and that's pretty much what I'm dealing with." As for Daly's exit, Brenneman says, "It's like life. People come, and then they go, and then [they] write to it. It gets to be like real living."

Private Practice: Fires Tim Daly--Season 6-TVLine

According to TVLine's Michael Ausiello, Tim Daly won't be returning for season 6 of Private Practice. Here's an excerpt from the article, which gives some details on Daly's exit:



In a somewhat terse statement posted on Twitter, Daly said, “Wonderful fans of PPP. Shonda informed my agent today that Pete won’t be returning for season 6. It was a great 5 yrs. R.I.P. Pete Wilder.”

Coincidentally, just hours earlier TVLine floated the possibility of Private Practice bidding farewell to Daly’s Pete, who was jailed in the season finale for compassionately ending the life of a patient kept alive by machines.

Daly was likely the victim of cost cutting. As you’ll recall, PPP‘s renewal came down to the wire earlier this month as both sides haggled over budget-related issues.
