New Threats In Season 3 Of Orphan Black Will Force The Girls To Do More Than Just Survive
Vic was a regular on season one and then a reoccurring character on season two. He will not be coming back for season three at all however. The actor was cast on new show Better Call Saul and unfortunately, the conflict in schedule means he was not available for shooting reported The Star
His character was fairly integral during season one. He played Sarah's drug dealing ex-boyfriend and some of the plot simply revolved around keeping him the dark. This added to the storyline that Sarah had to hide the fact that she was a clone while still half dealing with the mess of her life from the time before she knew she was a clone.

As the series went on, his importance in the storyline lessened. He went from a major issue for the girls to a sort of comic relief in a way. He was a very real representation of the reality of the problems that Sarah was dealing with as the series progressed.
Now he won't be there at all. This is because of real life conflicts, nothing on the show but it can still be read that his drop off the show in a way signals Sarah's full departure from her old life.
Orphan Black returns, sans Vic the drug dealer, on April 18.
