Spoilers: Is Rudi Dharmalingam Leaving The Split?
Rudi Dharmalingam could leave the BBC One legal drama The Split. In the recent episode, he suffered an accident while riding his bike.
After receiving the news, Cutler’s family rushes to the hospital. Unfortunately, the doctor informs us that James Cutler has died.
Following the news, Rose (Fiona Button), Cutler’s wife is seen supported by Nina (Annabel Scholey), Hannah (Nicola Walker), and her mother Ruth (Deborah Findlay).
The show’s shock-death twist has definitely revealed that Dharmalingam’s character will no longer continue on the show.
However, the BBC show has not confirmed anything whether Dharmalingam will leave or not.
Why Did They Kill Off James Cutler In Season 3 Finale?
In the final minutes of The Split’s recent episode, viewers have learned that James Cutler has died following a bike accident.
Over the course of the show, we have seen Cutler’s character suffering many ups and downs.
Season 3 had begun with Rose and James discussing their desire to have children. The couple was unsure about adopting a child after they were left incapable of conceiving by themselves.
Two soon started to argue over Rose’s reluctance to adopt. On the other hand, James angrily cycles off.
The New season had mostly focused on Hannah and Nathan’s (Stephen Mangan) divorce, perhaps, the show wants more from them in the coming episodes.
As far as we know, killing off Dharmalingam will surely make his fans furious.
One furious fan tweeted: “There was just one very brief, subtle hint in one scene in #TheSplit, but nothing to justify the #bbc giving away such a major spoiler at the end. Huge mistake, shame on them.”
Another says: “@bbc did the announcer just spoil The Split by telling us that Doctor has motor neuron disease even though it wasn’t talked about.”
What Will Rudi Dharmalingam Be Doing Next?
Rudi Dharmalingam has so many big projects ahead of him. He is set to appear as Shinv in the TV series, Extinction.
Moreover, we can also expect a Wakefield season 2 renewal to happen in the coming days.
