(LogOut/ But it does feel like a different show.". Bring him BACK! How ironic. Totally agree. Omega: The Gift and the Curse (WE tv, March 2, Thursdays, and ALLBLK, March 6). Your certainly not doing yourself any fsvours with the viewing public! Actor Craig McLachlan has reportedly been dropped from his starring role in The Doctor Blake Mysteries, with reports that a new TV movie is about to go into production . When an unconventional physician, haunted by his experiences as a POW, returns to his home town to take over his deceased father's medical practice in 1959, he also becomes the police medical examiner and finds that he is particularly adept at solving murders. Who will solve the murders Mrs Beasley thats laughable. Frankly, I thought it was better without him. Craig is in a world of trying to put his life together. It would only seem to reason that if no evidence was found & facts dont substantiate the allegations that is by definition innocent. Or the media should have done a real investigation. The Doctor Blake Mysteries. An investigation by the show's production company, December Media, cleared the actor of any misconduct. Credit: Jessica Dale The next instalment, like the the season five finale that went to air in November 2017 . Dr Blake was ALWAYS fighting that battle in every show!! The writers can figure out how. What is going on in this world ? will dr blake mysteries return in 2021. by. He goes.the show goes. What a crazy mixed up world we live in. The world is filled with enough cowards, dont be among them. Totally agree with all comments. Or, are they like the Democrats here in the US lets believe the accusations of some women and ruin some mens careers and lives without actual proof. Is there proof to any of the accusations? Playing the Lead Role! I worked for many years in an atmosphere where the accusers were always seemed right and thise accused having to defend themselves. It would be nice if the other stars of the show would just stage a joint walk out on the show and refuse to return unless Craig returns. I think it is a shame that Craig has been judged guilt by the press without a hearing. Equality is something woman have a right to as do men. This show is missed so very much!! We, the public, have been become unwilling participants in this tragedy. The show can not & never would be the same without him, but big corporations like TV channels are only interested in profits. I think that all the people (not your good self, of course), threatening to boycott the show because of Mr McLachlans absence will do the Australian actors and crew a great disservice. I will not watch it until he is returned. A source at the Seven Network - the new home of Doctor Blake after it was axed by the ABC - confirmed the series will return without its title character. Three years after the ABC telemovie, the story is told in the late 1960s with a new cast and a new script. I am so sick of needing such movements. Joel was written out of the series because of personal issues back in NZ. If Benny Hill type jokes were okay for the adult actors to let off steam and stress while shooting Dr. Blake well why then is it not for the sexually charged Rocky Horror Show? Please hear the man out! Honestly, I know what I am talking about. At the same time happy that the show will continue and has not been cancelled!! It makes me wonder about us. Totally agree with the majority of the decisions the total maniacal saying about sexual harassment and guilty-until-proven-innocent his just gone overboard I too will not watch this series Without doctor Blake in it more Stupid Decisions by the entertainment world and jump to conclusions before any proof is available totally despicable and deplorable, Dr Blake Mysteries is Craig McLachlan What happened to innocent till proven guilty- As a UK Fan I shall not be watching any further episodes till he comes back. It will not be the same without him It seems that doing an investigation of the charges is unnessesary. Will you do the same? But it needs Craig a!also live in England. The Doctor Blake Mysteries was a huge hit in Australia and around the world. I love the show. You said ! He had developed a strong attachment to her as she was gentle and understanding, while his father proved oppressive and demanding, urging his son to master the piano from an early age. Also in the defence document, Tim Maddren, a former star of the children's musical group Hi-5, alleges Mr McLachlan bullied and threatened him after he refused to play along with an on-stage joke involving Mr McLachlan simulating masturbation and oral sex on Mr Maddren's finger. He should be allowed to come back to the show. Do not follow the spoiled American stupid women. Its not the Dr Blake set accusations that are Craigs main problem. You are heartless. Is Dr Blake Mysteries coming back in 2021? Blake is a member of the Colonists Club, which is located on Lydiard Street. BTW, Dr Blake touches male characters almost as often as females.

The series stars Craig McLachlan in the lead role of Dr. Lucien Blake, who returns home to Ballarat, northwest of Melbourne, in the late 1950s to take over his late father's general medical practice and role as police surgeon after an absence of 30 years. Agree. Now the Blake Army has been left devastated by the decision to remove Craig McLachlan as Lucien Blake in this beloved series. In a permissive environment, going beyond another persons comfort zone is always a possibility. I love this show but I like many women have also been harassed by men at work because they could and I find many of the comments regarding women objecting to being harassed at work very offensive.

Shame on you ABC in Australia (Seven Network) and PBS here in the US (PBS should support Mr.McLachlans return); you both dont have the courage to do the right thing and bring back Mr. It follows the titular character, Doctor Lucien Blake, who after an absence of nearly 30 years, comes back to his hometown Ballarat, located in the north-west corner of Melbourne, during the 1950s. Great story lines and actors. Wishing you all the very best! Unfortunately, we again have lost an excellent Australian actor because the company have not got the gumption to stand by their actor. I love Dr Blake.. Craig is the main reason.. A distressed Sam Cohen says her father was taken aback by his behavior when she was a child.

This sums him up perfectly and by his own hand. A historical city with a rich history dating back to the gold rush, this city is beautiful and historic. 2and a half men was good a decent cast and charlie sheen at the heart of it all as good as the others was in that show it was Charlie that was the man without Charlie it went downhill and so to will this show im afraid no disrespect to the other cast members like head policeman and Charlie and the other tough police dude plue blakes wife and the reporter but no proper dr Blake uve then got half a show im afraid ?

ABC in Australia, the Blake Mysteries without Craig McLauchlan is not a competitive program and it is predicted to fail. Its a good show and the cast is great big unnecessary changes like that are seriously not needed. Karen Williamsm. Hes the heart of it, and there is no way it can carry on without him and be anywhere near as good. Well I hope Craig is reading all the lovely comments as it should let him know how much he is loved & missed as Lucien Blake. Follow this three-part true crime drama on Scotland's first serial killer and the media circus that surrounded him. I agree that there are men who act disgracefully out there, I really do think things have changed immensely over the past 20 years. I loved all the characters. Back in the days when I worked as a reporter for a big newspaper in the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area, I did my sharing of drinking and joking around with the guys and the other women journalists. No trial just guilty. 9/17/17. The mysteries are intriguing but they need Lucien to solve them otherwise they would become dull and boring! Why is Craig no longer in the series after being found completely innocent. The [owers that be can no be so as to take such a great show of the air because of some -. I hate to see this show ruined. I have never had to suck up to a man to get ahead and nor should I if you have to do that then maybe your just not fit for the job or maybe its the man in the wrong for expecting you too! And McLachlan, if guilty, can go straight to hell. sexual harassment charges have gone overboard for all the wrong reasons. Bring him back. What kind of world do we live now? I am really sorry you cannot come to some sort of truce..there are worse places to work and worse sets to work onso suck it up and get back to the creative writing and great story lines and plots. McLachlan's character said scripted words to the effect of'she was beautiful'. Obviously that did not happen.

If the man is innocent why is he being treated as if hes guilty? The Blake Mysteries introduces us to the titular character, Doctor Lucien Blake, who leaves for Scotland in his early 20s to earn his medical degree. A small, golf-ball like object gives Harry an . And unfair to him, since it sounds like he was wrongly accused. Maybe the shows producers should get the cast together and simply say that these these allegations and whatever reasons for them, will be let go and not repeated. We waited for our beloved main characters to finally get together and this is what happens? She screamed blue murder McLachlan consistently denied such behaviour,calling the allegations baseless and all made up, suggesting the women could be motivated by money. She finds it challenging to cope up with Luciens eccentric and sometimes unconcerned behavior. I guess it takes $300 million, which few people have. If the purpose of #MeToo movement is to address & bright to light truth and in this case that has been done with no fruit to bear than it would behoove the program to stand equally in support of Mr. McLachlan. I love dr Blake mystery I really want Lucian back what a great actor, I love the wholesome and caring theme of the show. Retaliation? About as high-profile as you can get in the US entertainment industry. Garner! The producers should be fired and bring back Blake. Craig is counter-suing. We need a show for Craig to come back to.

If someone has been clear of allegations then they are cleared what would cause someone to lose their job if they are cleared of any wrongdoing.
