Fred, the original guardian angel on “Drop Dead Diva,” was written out of the show after accidentally revealing himself to Stacy. He was replaced by a new guardian angel, Luke.
In the series, Fred is introduced as Jane Bingum’s guardian angel, who is tasked with watching over her after she inhabits the body of a recently deceased model. Fred is a lovable and earnest character who often provides comic relief. However, his time on the show comes to an end when he breaks one of the cardinal rules for angels: he reveals his true identity to Stacy, Jane’s best friend, with whom he has fallen in love.
As a consequence of his actions, Fred is forced to leave his post, and his memory is wiped clean. This means he forgets all about his time as a guardian angel and his relationship with Stacy. His departure is a bittersweet moment in the series, as he was a beloved character, but it also opens the door for a new guardian angel, Luke, to take his place. Luke brings a different dynamic to the show, and his character development and interactions with the cast create new storylines and opportunities for growth among the characters. Fred’s exit marks a significant turning point in the series, as it not only affects the celestial order of things but also the personal lives of the characters involved.
