LEGENDS OF TOMORROW is saying goodbye to two key cast members with the Tuesday, March 17 hour, “Romeo V. Juliet: Dawn of Justness”: Courtney Ford and original series star Brandon Routh.

“It’s really intense,” executive producer Phil Klemmer told reporters in the video below, noting the decision to write them out was “the most terrifying thing you can do” and something it’s natural to second-guess.

The goodbye comes as the team must contend with William Shakespeare—while newlyweds Ray (Routh) and Nora (Ford) break it to their teammates they’ll be leaving.

“There’s never been more tears shed in editing bays than episode 7…the thing that is a marvel for me is when [the characters] realize [they’re leaving],” Klemmer admitted. “It’s as real on the screen as it is in real-life.”

“Me, Dom, and Brandon were the only three originals left,” Caity Lotz (who plays Sara) added. “Of course it’s sad. And we miss him. But, at the same time, no one’s ever fully gone. That’s the magic of these shows. It’s ever-evolving, ever-changing. I hope we get them back.”
