Alex in rehab
Alex O'Loughlin taking time out from Hawaii Five-0
I know that Alex hurt his shoulder back during Season 1, so I'm guessing this dates from then. And we've all seen how, despite all the guff we were fed about added characters taking some of the load off the original cast, Alex seemed to be doing as much if not more than last season on the show.
With what we know about Alex, his work ethic, how he pushes himself and how he doesn't like to disappoint his fans, I'm willing to bet that he's been soldiering on and trying to deal with this himself (hence the weight loss etc). I know how hard it is for someone who values self-discipline (and not making a fuss!) as much as he does to admit that they need help, so good for him.
He's a strong guy and I know he can beat this. I wish him all that's good. I just hope for his sake, for the show's sake and for our sake that he doesn't have to miss too much filming.

I know he can beat this, but f--- !
It's not anything I'd wish on anyone- and to have to go public with it -
f--- again...
Back to the facts- he'll beat this and come out stronger.
No question.
So now H50 just has to man up and weather the storm as well.

I feel so sorry for Alex - I know how hard he works, how much this show means to him and what high standards he sets himself. And I've been there, gone on pushing myself well past the point where I should have asked for help because you don't give in, make a fuss or admit you're not coping, you don't admit to weakness. I know how much nerve it takes to acknowledge that you need help. So good for him. And, like you, I know he can beat this.
