Another series not returning to ABC is “Forever.”

Star Ioan Gruffud addressed the fans of his show in an Instagram post.

“Tonight, as you all now know, I received a phone call that I was hoping not to receive, and to be honest I really wasn’t expecting it. I knew the numbers hadn’t been great, but I also knew the studio and the network both loved the show, and of course that it had an incredible fan base…so I thought we were in with a pretty good chance. But sadly no, this time the cards weren’t dealt in our favor,” Ioan wrote. “Show business is like that. Hell, life is like that. You ride to the top of the wave and then you come crashing down again. “

Ioan said fans’ Tweets about the cancellation were heartwarming.

“And the more I read, the more I couldn’t believe it. The love, the sense of solidarity, the hope, the kindness, the support. Not just for the show, but for each other. And slowly I began to focus on what we had gained in the past year, rather than what we had lost in the last five minutes. I was overcome by a sense of gratitude. To have met you all and to have you all rooting for me and the show. At having a chance to play the role of my dreams, even if it was only for a year. To have been given the chance to bring Henry to life,” he wrote.
