Dedmon's Pointe (season 5)

On October 31, 2013, the same day as the fifth-season finale, ABC commissioned a fifth season of Dedmon's Pointe, consisting of 13 episodes. Production resumed on October 31, 2013, and wrapped on November 30, 2013. Production took nearly a month due to its numerous breaks. It was announced that three main cast members were to exit the series in the season due to expired contracts and the producers not wanting to renew them. Two new main cast members, Alejandro Martinez and Ruby Kane will debut. Ruby debuts in the season premiere, while Alejandro Martinez will debut in Episode 2. Alejandro will take a severe interest in Carol, but he is ashamed of both his past and present, and Ruby is the younger, fair-minded sister of Chad and aunt to Cecilia. It was announced that the character of Dr. Jeanne Klein would be written off the canvass in the eighth episode, but her returning stint was extended to the tenth episode. Initially, the character of Jackson Matthews was to exit in the fourth episode, but the writers decided to keep him on the canvass until Episode 9, where he is released from rehab. His character will not appear in Season 6 or the first half of Season 7, as the actor is filming a big movie. Peter Andrews and Natasha Lane both exited in the eleventh episode, due to Peter enlisting in the army and Natasha going on the run. The actors both were let go due to budgetary cuts. In the season finale, former main character Anthony McGowall is brought back from the dead, leaving the season at a cliffhanger.
