it's a shame how stupid he is, had it all, now he's in ruins and the people of a number one show are all out of work due to him. i think the show should carry on, there's enough of a story line to do so, just put him in rehab on the show, or have him go on the lamb coz he's being sued by 10 baby momas. alan still has alot of life left in him, what about rose and of course berta, my fav,they still can do it, they did it with valerie harper when she got to big for her britches 20 yrs ago.
