Sounds like creative and budgetary reasons are opening a door (to the exit) for PRIVILEGED’s Michael Cassidy. The perennial second-banana is heading out of Palm Beach for school out west, and by the 15th episode, Megan’s (soulmate in my opinion) and best friend is headed for the door.

Rina Mimoun promises plenty of kisses for our boy before he leaves, and says that if Season 2 is a go, she hopes Michael heads back to the show!
