Julie Bowen's character also poses a high risk of leaving the show as her chances of making partner have pretty much evaporated (or at least as I am to understand). Julie Bowen out, The Squid in? I'll miss her if she's out.

Mark Valley's character is somewhat likely to leave but I feel his character is strong enough and versatile enough to be kept on the show. But who knows, he may run for office (his interest was implied).

So much for Michelle Bathe and the other young guy that we saw less and less of and eventually none of as season 2 progressed. haha.

I do hope Alan Shore's current secretary is there to stay.

Shatner may be wearing something to hide his ;)

I certainly will stop watching if the writers don't stop interjecting their political views.

Check out the red states, guys. We don't like some of the stuff you try to force feed us.

I personally prefer the moral debates (like Picket Fences) rather than the political debates that Boston Legal has.

Of course, the show is fairly balanced with Alan and Denny, liberal & conservative.
