Where were we...
It's time for the new season to begin -- and that means time to recall where we last left these characters. So, with the help of the official voice of CBS the answer is:
AMY
  MUST FACE THE REPERCUSSIONS OF MOVING OUT, IN
  THE THIRD-SEASON FINALE OF "JUDGING AMY," (being
  rebroadcast TUESDAY, SEPT. 17)
"Come Back Soon" -- After moving out, Amy must face the
  consequences of her actions, on a rebroadcast of the third-season finale of
  JUDGING AMY, Tuesday, Sept. 17 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television
  Network.  (Originally broadcast on
  5/21/02)
Now that Amy's living situation has changed, her ex-husband Michael has a good case to challenge Lauren's current custody arrangements. Meanwhile, Amy and Bruce's professional future together is in jeopardy when the ruling on his case comes in. Also, Jared (Richard Crenna) and Maxine reconnect now that he's back in Hartford, which results in Maxine making two very important decisions about her life.
Amy
  Gray Amy Brenneman                       
  Maxine Gray....... Tyne Daly
  Kyle McCarty.... Kevin Rahm                     
  Lauren Cassidy.. Karle Warren
  Bruce Van Exel Richard T.
  Jones             
  Peter Gray........... Marcus
  Giamatti
  Gillian Gray.... Jessica
  Tuck                      
  Donna Kozlowski...............
  Jillian Armenante
  Ian Jankowski..... Christopher
  Liam Moore
  Jared Duff Richard Crenna                        
  Louise Rodericks........... Carolyn
  Hennesy
  Sean Potter........... Timothy
  Omundson     Stan Wharton.....
  Christopher Allport
  Denise Wharton. Amanda Wyss               
  Colleen Wharton Rachel Wilson
So, what's my take on all this???
It seems that this show is fond of ending each season with a story line that means any and all actors can leave the show if they like. We have no promises that Bruce Van Exel will return this season -- which is a crying shame because he is one of the highlights of the show! He can convey more with a simple look than many actors can convey with 20 pages of dialogue! He knows his character inside and out -- and knows his relationship with all the other characters so well that when he looks at Amy we know exactly what he wants to tell her because his eyes are speaking volumes for him.
So many actors are rumored to count lines and worry they don't have enough dialogue, this is a man who can steal the show with one sentence -- heck, two words from him can steal the show! So I hope that these season enders that gives every actor the choice to return or not are being done because the production company wants to keep their actors happy -- but not because they are willing to let Richard T. Jones and his equally talented cast mates drift away from us!
