didnt know they were leaving.when and why whats up please let me know

I'm sorry to say their last scenes have already aired (Tuesday 2/17). Here is the quote from Corday in SOD about them leaving:
QUOTE
"They are not leaving Salem. They are not dying. They're just not going to be on the air." He also says "Look for them to slip off the canvas later this month, there is only so much airtime, if the show was cash richer we would have kept them."
I think the best guess about the "why" is a combination of budget reasons and the show wanting to go in a younger direction in general, since they are going out the door with so many other vets as well. But Corday couldn't admit something like that.
