On episode 5×11, we saw Peggy accept a job offer from a competing ad company, and now it appears we may not see her on Mad Men again.
Jared Harris let slip the news during an interview where he discussed the departure of his own character in 5×12 (spoiler warning). From The Daily (via TV Line):
How did the cast send you off — was there a big going-away party?
They didn’t. You know, we’re always ending things. Actors are always ending jobs. It isn’t a big deal in that sense. Also other people had left the show that had been there since the beginning. Elisabeth [Moss] left the episode before and she’d been there since the beginning. Michael Gladis (Paul Kinsey) left in season three [though reappeared for one episode this season]… Bryan Batt. People leave and it’s just part of it. They didn’t make a giant fuss.
Oh, is Peggy dead from the show like Lane is?
Um… I have no idea what Matthew Weiner intends to do and even then I couldn’t tell you.
It’s hard to believe that 5×11 may’ve been Peggy’s final episode, as there’s obviously much more to see from her character. Do you think it’s true? Hopefully Weiner will comment soon.
