Seth Gabel Will Not Return as FRINGE Series Regular

According to TVLine.com, Seth Gabel will not be returning as a series regular on the FOX drama series FRINGE. 

Last season, Gabel's alternative universe character Lincoln Lee died in the final episode. In a recent interview with TVLine, Fringe‘s Anna Torv, revealed “I don’t think [we'll see Lincoln again], Unless we go to the other side, no” — a prospect made less likely by the season-ending closing of the bridge between the two worlds.

According to the report, the show's executive producers have not ruled out the possiblity that the actor may reappear as his character in a guest-starring role. The series returns for Season 5 in the fall.
