"Would you please tell me why he left the show. I enjoyed him on Chicago Hope, and he really makes the difference in the story. I will not watch it any more as he was the reason I enjoyed the program. I have many friends who enjoyed his character and are not going to watch either. I only hope that he comes back, because the story is lost without. Characters make the show. His characters stands out, and you lost a piece of the puzzle. "

"Yeah. Gideon was a great asset to the team. Unfortunately, he won't come back. I know that for a fact. It's sad :[.
Gideon was one of my favorite characters, mostly because he was like a father to Reid (Who is my favorite). I'm not exactly surehow he left, but I think I heard it was some sort of dispute with the writers."
