AmericanSquint I am not a sweets hater. But NO ONE can replace Zach. He was like an adorable little Brennan!

emccusker I found an article from 2008 that dishes on why he was written out. Hope this helps answer the question... http://www.tvguide.com/news/Eric-Millegan-Dishes-7680.aspx

saphire1031 ZACH WAS A FREAKIN PHSYCO!! THATS WHYYYY!

blahdeda125 now he wasn't he was just brainwashed and on the link emccusker gives Zach says the writers decided to take him out it wasn't because of a rapid cycle of bi-polar if i said that right he didn't choose he followed his characters fate and in the interview eric millegan says that the writers still might eventually take him back i don't know how they will write that into the script but he will appear from time to time. Saphire1031 you are the PHSYCO for callin Zach a Phsyco i would be careful a lot of people loved Zach

tinquerbutt I actually found this page tonight in search of why they took Zack from the show. If it was the actor's desire to leave, then there is nothing more to say. But, if he just got the axe, it may have been due to his character's almost clone-like similarity with Dr. Brennan's character. To have a supporting character that mimics the title one so closely, the character may be construed (by the producers or stars) as detracting from the lead's uniqueness, thereby diminishing her character's claim as "the best" as well as making his character competition for the awe and admiration of the audience. They may also be afraid that his equally dry, literal demeanor and communication (just like Dr. Brennan's) may simply be too much for the average audience's palate. Personally, I miss him. He is adorable, as is his character, and if I was single, and he were a real man, I would pull out all of my charms to snag him up for myself.http://images.fanpop.com/images/emoticons/wink.jpg One thought, if the producers/writers are reading, he would make an awesome nemesis for the forensic team whether as a competing forensic anthropologist or as a bad guy altering remains in a diabolical way to further the Gormogon story.

luxury_danger It’s been a while since the season 4 with the Zach Gormagon incident but its fresh to me. Zach is part of the family and I don’t understand why Eric Millegan would ever want to leave or why the producers would want him to leave either. Zach being Gormagon’s apprentice does not make any sense in the years Bones has been airing. Firstly, Zach is way too smart to fall to prey of a nobody. The script happened way to fast and felt rushed. No one liked seeing Zach blown up and in shock and then they drop this bomb on all the fans that he’s also a bad guy. It’s just sad :( and I miss Zach.

ronnie15cc i have to admit..my heart broke a little when they took Zack off the show..i like the new interns but i would not be sad if they let them go in order to bring back Zack. I think the writing was on the wall anyway. Think about it. When Zack was asked to go to Iraq they started to replace him. Even went so far as to replace him with clark for him to suddenly return. long story short..I WANT ZACK BACK!!

addicted2bonez DITTO ronnie15cc The only reason Zack is gone is cause eric millegan wanted to leave

Emaleth I have to admit I was, and still am a fan of Eric Millegan, and loved how he portrayed Zack. I did a lot of research (unfortunately due to the distances involved, purely online research), and have found several sources with the same reasons. Eric Millegan suffers from Bipolar disorder, previously known as Manic Depressive, and this was the reason he gave for leaving. Since Bones he's done some theatre work, but very little.

xxSweedyxx It wasnt Eric who wanted off the show, and he actually never wanted off the show. He actually said he was just going along with the script, and he was shocked when they wrote him off (because apparently they couldn't think of another, more exciting season finale). Im on season 4, and I was so mad when he left, so I just had to research the reason why he left. This is the actual interview with him, and I hope I see him more in later seasons. Loved that guy sooo much!! http://www.tvguide.com/news/Eric-Millegan-Dishes-7680.aspx

i_h8_cats MachailaLaine Addicted2Tv is write it says that he never killed anyone in episode 5 season 4 "The Perfect Pieces In The Purple Pond".

hannahb3580 He is CRAZY!!!!!

BonesLover99 He didn't want to be on the show anymore. I was just watch the episode were he gets blown up and I wish he didn't go.

tecumseh Whatever he reason...I still miss him,and agree that he should come back occasionally

STCFan Hello people I think its goddman fucked up that he got kicked off the show. Anyways i'm talking to him right now on facebook and his exact words from my question= Why did you got kicked off the show He replied: "My Characters storyline was changed so i was pretty much written off the show." You can go in and check it by yourselves: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=256464781119474&id=235225763243376&ref=notif¬if_t=feed_comment

patrickspence I absolutely loved zackaroni, and yes he was like a cute little brennan. but i really like the squinterns, especially wendall bray and vincent nigel-murray. so yes, it was very sad that addy turned out to be gormagon's assistant, but it's not like he got permanently replaced by Daisy or something.

tiggybel Can someone help me. I am in the uk and have just watched season 3. In the finale, the explosion was used as a decoy for someone to take the skeleton. As Zach was injured, but subsequently found to be Gormagon's apprentice: who took the skeleton then?

BridgieB24 I LOVE Zac he's sooo cute. He can make me feel dumb any day!!!!!

anglelove098 i love zach he wanted to leave but, not like nigle, nigle the actor wanted to resume a normal life. erick(zach) wanted to do other things like movies they wrote him into a mental hospital so that at any time he could come back like in the writter ocd case! hope you guys luv my answer!

RoxyLuffer Zack didn't kill anyone, I've been watching Bones from start to finish, and i started Season 4 yesterday, I'm on episode 10 now and alisonfaith297 is correct. Yes, I know bringing up old topic. but i love Zack too, but I needed to know if he was coming back, and thus why i'm here now XD

Jeckel69 I know this is old but wanted to add something. I've seen the episode where Zack says he didn't kill anyone, but what about the end of Season 3 episode 8? It shows Zack jumping out of the closet at the lobbyist with a knife. It is open to interpretation, but he is coming at the guy pretty hard for not killing him. I doubt he could have overpowered the guy. For the people saying Eric wanted off the show, can you show where you are hearing this from? People have already posted an interview where he says he was written off and says nothing of it being his decision.

coolcat34 He was pulled off the show because he was got shone accomplice

coolcat34 I mean he was gormagon's assistant

anabananadog Zach wasn't a big fav of mine but he is a million times preferable to that annoying blabbering Daisy Wick.

Pattyduke I LOVED BONES & the character Zack was like "getting ice cream w your cake"!!!!!!! The way he would frustrate Booth & Hodgins, I looked 4ward 2 weekly. I am in the process of obtaining the entire series on DVD; this is 1 TV show I can watch over & over. Eric requested that Zack b removed due 2 personal reasons, but I APPLAUD the writers 4 bringing Zack back in the series finale; crazy or not Zack needed 2 apologize 2 Dr. Brennan; he felt he let her down.
