As I recall, the scene plays out that Richie was hoping that somehow
everything would be okay, and until wasn't until Duncan said something like,
"You have to leave," and Richie responded, "It's time then?" that Richie's
leaving was certain. I agree that Richie had acted like a juvenile nitwit
being led around by his dick, and had acted contrary to every piece of
advice Duncan gave him, and two people died as a result. I don't blame
Duncan for feeling that Richie wasn't listening anymore, and it was time for
him to deal with life and learn its lessons on his own. However
well-justified Duncan was, it seemed clear to me that he had decided it was
time for Richie to leave, and told him that in no uncertain terms.

Still a rather attractive 50 something gentleman who gives great
hugs though <g>. Does mostly stage work in southern Scotland,
with occasional TV appearances.
Having a character named "Michael Mackenzie" (or McKenzie) in a
new
HL show would be just too weird for me! (I'd have to tell
Michael <g>) <<
Do you know this is exactly what I thought of when I read the name. Of
course made me think of you too.<G>

Hey I didn't realise that.

Ooooo yes not a bad idea.
