Balthazar Getty will reportedly exit 'Brothers and Sisters' in an explosive storyline.
Studio sources have revealed episode 19 of series three will be the actor's last after he was written out of the hit US TV show.
E! have claimed Getty's character Tommy Walker won't go quietly, serving time in jail and even going on the run in upcoming episodes.
The news comes after weeks of rumours that everyone on the set of the popular drama series finds it "difficult" to work with Getty.
A source said: "No one on set is a fan."
Getty also allegedly behaves unprofessionally during shoots by forgetting his lines and has even made one cast member cry.
The source continued: "They often have to move shooting schedules around to accommodate him.
"He is very impatient and once shouted, 'When are we going to shoot this?' "
The 33-year-old star - whose wealthy family owns the Getty Oil Company - apparently made enemies among cast and crew after leaving his wife of eight years Rosetta, with whom he has had four children, for 'Factory Girl' star Sienna Miller.
The source added: "It's bad. It's just so sad."
A show spokesman claims there have been no reports of Getty's difficult behaviour.

It's about time they got rid of him, nasty piece of work all round anybody who treats his wife with so little respect and puts his children through all that trauma has no character no class and no morals.
