* WrittenInAbsence: Thomas Hayes, who plays William, quit the show after the second season to focus on other projects. This is explained in the third season as him and Noora moving to London together, with Noora eventually coming back when William starts neglecting her. She waits for him to follow and apologize if he "really loves" her, but as his actor's quit, one might he assume he never will - unless it's done off-screen, that is.
