A devastating news was received by the shippers of "Grebecca" with regard to the dysfunctional couple Santino Fontana and Rachel Bloom on tonight's episode of "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend". Santino Fontana who played Greg packed up and left for his dreams to attend Emory University. However, he did not reveal his love yet for Rachel Bloom who played as Rebecca until the time before he rode an escalator.
Tonight's episode shows Greg singing "It was a Shit Show" and finally told Rebecca how much she loved her. But, he explained that he cannot undo things or make amendments. "We can't unscrew each other's friends, we're Jerry Springer, not Casablanca," he added further. After which, he rode into an escalator and the story shifted into his new life at Emory University.
Greg appeared in the episode later as a memory spirit in the apartment of Rebecca. Sadly, he was written off the show because of his life changing, cross-country move. Fontana was caught up to talk about the thoughtful farewell episode of Greg as well as the legacy that he may leave "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend". He was also questioned whether or not he will be back in West Covina.
According to TV Line, Fortana will leave the show midway through the second season despite of being the sarcastic love interest of Rebecca on the "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend". It was confirmed that his last episode in the series will be aired on Friday.
Last Friday, the actor confirmed the news in Vulture and said that he only entered into a one year contract with the "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend". He said that it is hard for him to choose most especially for Season 2. He furthermore added that his decisions have something to do with his base in New York and also his family.
However, it is not that surprising because the fourth episode of Season 2 removed the love triangle among Rachel-Josh-Greg when he pursued his degree at Emory University in Georgia.
Showrunner Aline Brosh McKenna and Rachel Bloom said that they already knew that their love triangle will end at the beginning of Season 2. Even if he left the show, he still said that Greg will never disappear down the line because he was till part of the "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend".
