When the kids moved to college the non-negotiable Sunday dinner was obviously not going to happen for them when they weren't in town so fans can look at it that way. Danny's character after 6 yrs was stilling grieving Linda, both boys are in college, he needs a fresh start. I personally am looking forward to the new series, I'm sad BB has ended, but I'm hopeful that there will be cameo's from family especially Little Joe and Henry, would love to see Frank, but I hear Tom Sellek's knees haven't been the best as late and he needs to work less....
