I don't think Scott is leaving and that is not the impression I get from Lenkov. He did a radio interview that some of the guys on some fan boards listened to. He said that no way is Danny running off to Jersey to be happily married again to Rachel. That is NOT where they're going with this and that a 'happy Danny doesn't make for good drama'. Whatever that means! (Please don't spend weeks though having Dannyfamilyissues show, I'll stop loving you).
I've also done my own take on Monday on my own journal because it is quite different from what a lot of people seem to be feeling about the finale and the show. The main point is that I think we're not meant to see Danny as a douche who would just cut and run. He's ALWAYS said he would go where Grace went. She's ALWAYS been the most important thing in his life. And I've always thought he'd take Rachel back if he could, ever since the ep with the carjacking. More because he wants his family back than because it will work (cause it won't). But I don't see him as acting all OOC.
Re the pregnancy thing. I actually think the writers wanted to show us that Danny had LOTS OF REASONS to leave. That he really needed to be on that plane. Re-connection with his ex-wife, getting Gracie back full time, back to Jersey AND if all that wasn't enough - oooh there's even possibly a baby.
But.....HE DOESN'T GO. Yes he is going to go but once Steve is in trouble he stays. Danny's love for Steve and TEAM is so great he turns away from everything he's ever wanted and he STAYS.
It's explained in more depth in my journal. But that's kind of how I see it. It might be lazy writing and timelining a bit but I really don't think they've 'ruined' Danny. I really don't. They've just tried to set it up to show what Steve means to him by showing what Danny can't have by staying and clearing Steve.
