Most of the actors who have departed have made confirmations that they are indeed leaving the series, unless when your character's death is very very explicitly shown like Ben, or Connie, or Colin, and others. Then I think confirmation is redundant but even then they say the actor is not coming back.

At least the main cast seems to make a mention of something in an article after their character is gone, or they make an announcement before their character exits. I mean, we had confirmation from Hermione Norris that she was leaving, same with Miranda Raison and Rupert Penry-Jones and Matthew MacFayden, and others as well.

I just would have thought that since the finale is finally over, there would be articles on the web saying that Richard Armitage is officially leaving the series. I mean, they implied he is dead, so either they are doing it like with Ros where we weren't sure for a whole hiatus that she would be back or not, OR Richard may be back to shoot some scenes for Series 10 if they go into investigating Harry's past?

I'm just curious, 'cause usually when a character leaves in a big dramatic ending like this, and especially one fate that was closely guarded as Lucas's, that when it's done, there would be official confirmation from either the BBC or from RA that he is not returning to the show.

I mean, when Rupert left, we knew he was leaving before Adam even went boom. Same thing with Matthew as Tom. I'm just curious at the surprising amount of the lack of news......
