Well, looks like there is a bit of trouble in paradise. Last we saw Marnie (Allison Williams), she was arm-in-arm with her weirdly-successful-albeit-pushover boyfriend Charlie.

The leave was incredibly fast, and — it appears — tension-filled, with the source quoted as saying, "He didn’t like the direction things are going in, which seems a bit odd since the show put him on the map.” Yeesh. The move does seem to be official, with Chris' rep confirming the departure.
