Jonathan also answered a fan who was asking him about the cancelation of the show. Jonathan said, “We’re all finding out via the news story,” and this surprised him as well because they “were number #1 in so many global markets.” Although we don’t want to get into the middle of their relationship, the ending of this show just after one season made many Ian fans cry.
