Bones
“Brennan will pick a grad student when we’re tired of our rotating interns,” says Bones boss Hart Hanson. “These people all bring in different facets that we can use. Right now, this works for us. And I don’t know that anybody in the world really wants us to replace Zack. And I feel sorry for anybody in [that position] because they’re going to get yelled at. Poor Tamara. It took a LONG time for fans to accept her on our show after Cam slept with Booth. And John Francis Daily was erroneously seen as Zack’s replacement, because he came in and Zack went. That was, of course, never the intention. He was vilified for that. It takes a very long time for people to get into our family.
