Mandy left the show because it was so emotionally draining and after a few years, he wasn't able to shake the dark subject matter when he left the set. Mandy did not let any of the cast know he was struggling with it because he didn't want them to worry about him. He was very supportive and kept the mood light on the set, so it was a surprise when they came back from hiatus and he was gone.
