I have been watching Rob's scenes this season and am a little confused about the opinion that he's a douche. If anything, I think the writing for him has been overly effusive, making him practically flawless! In the last episode, I love how Nora tells Kitty she's "nothing BUT guts" and yet from just this season alone she's withheld the truth from Robert at least three times: Diagnosis; bad MRI results; running for office.
Kitty doesn't score very highly in the Has Character or Guts department, IMO, while Robert has been written as not just princely, but principled beyond reality.
I do wish that the statement about Rob leaving had been worded differently as we have the same old naysayers and accusations being levelled at Rob leaving. How about if ABC and Rob said "they'd agreed there was no further to go with McCallister." Still, I suppose that wouldn't have stopped them either.
I agree with you on that. If he did say it (or feel it) he's an ass, because the show is not the Robert McCallister Political Hour. Granted, I only FF through everyone else's scenes, (though do catch bits here and there, i.e. the Nora/Kitty conversation I mentioned above), but it seems to me that he's getting a hell of a lot more screen time than he should reasonably expect. If Kevin wasn't working for him he'd be getting even less, so shut up and be thankful, Rob! *g*
My worst fear is that all his detractors will cling to that one comment of his and repeat it endlessly to make their case against him.

We've been through all this before. *sigh*
He is a few years older an hopefully wiser, and will keep his mouth shut from now on. LOL He did on that talk show, last month, that was wise, although he had very little to say about B%S. LOL
But from the start he DID say McCallister was a real person with flaws and struggles and all,and he loved that about McCallister . Well, there is not much left of that guy, so i do understand what he means. Eventually it will be a sorry guy to play as an actor. i think it is a wise decision although i will miss him every monday on my computer LOL
