Is Darcy leaving 'A Million Little Things?'
Darcy and Gary officially became a couple at the end of Season 2 and were still going strong at the onset of Season 3. As Darcy parented her son, Liam, Gary was taking care of Delilah Dixon's (Stephanie Szostak) kids while she was stuck in France.
The two played house together until the last episode of Season 3 before the two-part finale, "No One Is to Blame," when Darcy learned that her ex-husband, Steven, got a new job that's located a few hours away.
Per her agreement with Steven that they would remain in the same area for the benefit of their son, she's forced to leave town. In the end, Gary decided to uproot his life and move with her, and it seemed that they would finally get their happily ever after. That is until Gary got caught engaging in criminal behavior.
Gary previously kidnapped Sophie's (Lizzy Greene) sexually-abusive music teacher, and in the fall premiere of Season 4, he had blood on his hands — literally. Although he tried to continue business as usual, Darcy sensed that Gary was hiding something. Gary tried his hardest to cover his tracks, but the police were still on his heels when his victim finally regained consciousness.
Ultimately, it was Gary's beef with Peter Benoit (Andrew Leeds) that forced Darcy to end their relationship for good. After she revealed that she knew the truth about Gary's whereabouts on the night of Peter's assault, she declared that she no longer wanted to move in together.
Darcy and Liam moved away without Gary, leading fans to wonder if she's ever coming back. So is Floriana leaving A Million Little Things?
