Left a lot to be desired

I've never commented on the show before, as it's consistently well-written, that is until this episode. The actress playing the lawyer whose husband is missing, was less than believable. Since I have seen her resume and she is a very accomplished actress, I just have to put it on the writing. I don't know why Ross now has a larger part than John some weeks, is he preparing to leave the show? That's the only reason I can conceive of why they would dilute his character. Her charisma cannot hold a candle to his, he essentially made the show what it is. Why create a duplicitous character? Please, please don't become another tired watered-down network TV show. This show was so different-for so long.
