My first instinct was to say, "Come on, people, contract negotiations are normal. There's no way they're going to axe two of their main characters like that."

Except ... they DID. Last season.

So while I feel in a way like this petition is a bit too hysterical, I can also see why people would be legitimately terrified about losing Thomas and Shemar.

I'm just going to hope that they've learned the error of their ways and that we're all worried for nothing.
