Brutal Exit for Matlock Character

Matlock just erased a main character in the darkest way possible after the actor was fired

for alleged sexual assault. CBS cut David Del Rio mid-production, so the writers scrambled

to explain his sudden absence. First, they claimed his character Billy

took a personal day. Then, via a one-sided phone call,

they revealed his girlfriend had a miscarriage. It was a brutal exit that ensures

he is never coming back to the firm.
