Ultimately though, not acknowledging the absence of the two characters might be a good thing because it could make Christa or Neal's return possible in future episodes or seasons of 'Code Black.' The writers of 'Code Black' agonized over how they would address their characters in Season 2, since they know that there will be an unhappy fan no matter what. He defended that not talking about Christa & Neal would be the most realistic.
He said that it made the most sense to not mention the characters in 'Code Black' Season 2 anymore. 'Code Black' executive producer Michael Seitzman confirmed in a TV Line interview that the show won't be addressing why Christy & Neal are no longer working at Angel's Memorial Hospital. While it was earlier announced that Christa (Bonnie Sommerville) and Neal (Raza Jaffrey) will no longer be part of the show, fans of the characters might be disappointed to know that their absence will also not be explained in the series. 'Code Black' is scheduled to premiere its second season on CBS on Wednesday, Sept.
