The way he is standing there looking like a bronzed God is just too much too handle.

A message from Alex:

Quote:

Family and Friends
Current mood: Shocked and sad

Dear Friends, Family and wonderful, wonderful Fans of MOONLIGHT.

Well, where to start....?
The decision to cancel MOONLIGHT... my MOONLIGHT... our MOONLIGHT, is
as much of a shock and gut wrenching surprise to me as it is to all of
you.

Really, I don't even know where to begin.

I sit here at my computer, still slack jawed even 24 hours after
receiving the news that my services are no longer required on the set
of this show. A show we have all come to know and love deeply, and it
hurts more than I can possibly tell you.

Since i got THE CALL I have not read anything online or otherwise, I
have not been following blogs or forums, I have not been reading the
trades or opinion polls and I have not been calling around to get
information.
"Why are you not fighting for your show?!" I hear you all scream!!
The truth is my friends, I never STOPPED fighting for it.
From the very beginning when I was told time and again that i wasn't
the man for the job, having to prove myself to everyone with tests and
screen tests, to a complete re-casting of the show, through 5
different show runners at the helm with 5 different artistic visions,
to a Writer's strike that took 5 episodes away from us...... oh how
the list goes on.
But through all of that, i am proud to say that not once did I bow
down and allow someone else to come in and do with MOONLIGHT as they
please. And along the way, if I needed a break and wanted to do that,
I don't think I could have anyway because, well, I suppose it's just
not in my nature!

This is all still so fresh for me and I am going to need a little time
to process this whole thing before i can digest what has actually
happened, let alone move on.

Honestly. I really feel lost for words.

I will say however, that never, never in my life have I experienced
first hand a level of support from a group of people like that of you
all who are reading this now, and who 'loved this show to life'
alongside me. It has been overwhelming to say the least.

I am grateful to you all.
I am extremely proud to be associated with this piece of television.
And I am so, so sorry to my very core, to lose MOONLIGHT.

All my love,

Alex O'Loughlin x

This breaks my heart.

God, I still can't believe it's cancelled.

pinkpaisley · 05-14-2008, 01:21 PM

His Moonlight.

I can't imagine how Alex must feel. He was there LOOONG before any of us even knew there was such a show!

ETA: I just found this on Holly's MySpace:

Myanmar & China

I gotta say people, if everyone put as much time into helping the world as much as saving Moonlight, the world would be a better place.
There has been 2 horrific natural disasters in the past 10 days and we should be focussing on those poor people.
I'm not posting anything about a TV show being cancelled while this tragedy is unfolding.
Get some perspective people.

I wonder what Alex thinks about that...

blue4815162342 · 05-14-2008, 03:24 PM

yeah, i realize how sad i am about it getting cancelled their are a lot of bigger problems in the world. to bad moonlight fans can't donate money to china and myanmar.

Ms_Melika · 05-14-2008, 04:22 PM

There have been some bigger problems, but at the same time, that's thousands of miles away and you can donate money to help them out, but when it comes to Moonlight, signing a petition to keep the show doesn't mean that those other disasters are less important.

RKFan07 · 05-14-2008, 05:14 PM

DEAR LAWD....where did those pics come from!?! How did I miss those?!! LOL

My heart is hurting for Alex and all the cast/crew of Moonlight.

I love this show so much.

Exactly and a show getting canceled immediately affects people as well. Obviously not as lethal as an earthquake, but still. Everybody has to go on somehow.

I just wanted to hug Alex after reading that on his myspace.

My heart breaks for all of them of course, but particularly for Alex, because he's been there since day 1 and by all reports has put so much of himself into the show, and worked to the point of complete exhaustion for it. Poor guy must be shattered.

I thought Holly's message was rather.....abrupt. Yes, I think we realise that there are other, bigger problems in this world, but as they say, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. Her comments just seemed unecessary.
