JT's contract was up for renewal, as is MGG's. no one is sure if it was her choice to leave or if she was pushed out/not asked back by TPTB. it's been real quiet, esp on JT's front.

as of today, MGG has still not renewed his contract, so there's a possibility that Reid could still leave early in s10. I mean, I don't see MGG as someone who would let his character just drop off without saying goodbye and lord knows TPTB would never force him to like they did with Rachel Nichols, so if he doesn't renew, I think that's what'll happen.

I love the CM core cast. I can't imagine the show without MGG/Reid. I agree that Matthew does not seem like the type of guy to just pitch a fit and walk. Even though Reid is not universally popular among fans, he is popular enough and unique in what he does and how he does it. I'm guessing if MGG gets to direct a couple next year and they offer him reasonable money, he will be back on board.

As for JT, I read an interview from the showrunner stating that she discussed the Blake character with JT and they mutually agreed it was time for Alex to leave and that it should be a quiet exit and not a splashy death. Maybe she'll be back for a guest spot. I honestly could care less as I could never warm to Alex. I think if we had seen her human side more early on things might have been different.
