Smash Season 2 Spoilers- 4 Characters get the boot!
Best Smash news ever? Dev and Ellis are out!
Raza Jaffrey and Jaime Cepero will not return for the second season of NBC's musical series, TVGuide.com has confirmed. Additionally, Brian d'Arcy and Will Chase have also been axed from Season 2, though all four actors could possibly return for an episode or two to wrap up their story lines.
The news is probably something of a relief to some Smash fans. Both Dev and Ellis quickly became polarizing characters during the freshman season. The insufferable Ellis was a backstabbing, devious assistant-turned-producer who tried to take credit for Bombshell simply because he mentioned to Julia (Debra Messing) and Tom (Christian Borle) that they should do a Broadway show about Marilyn Monroe. Dev, the eventual fiancé of Karen (Katharine McPhee), never really clicked with audiences, which made it all the worse when he cheated on Karen with her nemesis Ivy (Megan Hilty).
As for the ousters of both of Julia's love interests — her husband Frank (d'Arcy) and former fling Michael Swift (Chase) — it seems to indicate the show will nix delving further into Julia's home life, which was often slow and arduous during the first season. If only they could get rid of Leo (Emory Cohen)!
As previously announced, Smash will return midseason with a new showrunner. Gossip Girl's Josh Safran will take over for creator Theresa Rebeck, who announced in March that she would step down at the end of the first season. Rebeck will retain her executive producer credit.

Dev was okay, I could take him or leave him. But Ellis............ugh!!! He was SO annoying. Seems like it will be very different next season with so many people gone. Hope it's good!

Didn't they play up that julia might be pregnant with the whole "I have thrown up since I was pregnant with Leo" thing? I think that might be one way they get the husband out of the picture. Especially if its the other guys baby!

I thought she threw up because she was so anxious over the "opening" night. 
Either way, I am glad to see Michael go--I hated him. And they should have given Leo the boot over his father--that kid is the worst actor!!

I think with the throwing up thing, they were just putting it out there, so it could go either way, but if they are not going to focus on Julia's home life, maybe they will drop any potential pregnancy storyline.
