I believe JP isn’t affiliated with Discovery, so he doesn’t have those kind of limitations.

Edgar was my favorite character; talented, a bit witty. THEN it all collapsed and I couldn't look at him. ICK

I know. I tried to watch some old seasons but between skipping scenes with Edgar and Josh Harris there was almost nothing left.

Lol I thought you were going to say you couldn't watch without tearing up! Would I want Edgar on my vessel? Absofuckinglutely without a doubt! Would I want Edgar anywhere within site of my daughter? Hell2theno! Now Josh Harris...... I wouldn't piss on if his head was on fire!

Which reminds me— Whatever happened to his co-captain, Casey McManus, who seemed quite competent?

I always wondered what happened to him so what happened?

Some kind of sexual assault. Discovery found out and removed/blurred him out of the show. He was almost always there. Blurred and reffered to as a "deckhand"

90% of the deckhands have probably done or would do exactly what edgar did... the thing about edgar is that he never said he was some saint... he said when he drank he was a bad person etc.... I believe they could have handled the situation better then just nuking him off the show .. like he never existed.

She was sixteen, I read tat they were at a party.. He was drunk and she was passing herself off to be older.. He leaned over... kissed & touched her boob.. That's why he didn't do anytime...$1600 fine plus.. Some kind of classes!! He had a drinking problem in the past to my understanding!!

What he did was messed up but everyone’s acting like he’s a rapist like Josh Harris and he definitely isn’t. Like I’ve said before. He’s an idiot, but I don’t think he’s a bad person

He engaged in sexual contact on a 16 year old girl. He pleaded guilty, but blamed sex addiction and substance abuse. Eta correct age.

What’s so weird about age of consent is that here in Pennsylvania that’s legal.
But wherever he was it’s not.
To be fair anything below 18 in my opinion should be illegal. I cannot fathom hooking up with a 16 year old regardless of its legal or not.

Ty for the details. He was one of my favorites. Can't believe he'd do that.

This has been discussed in countless other posts. Please use the search icon before you post. Constantly discussing negatives that happened years ago of someone's personal life issues brings the content quality and enjoyment of the sub down for all of us. Thx.

Read the post mate not slating him am I, fully aware of what happened

u/Lock_In_Maxxing 2d ago
Yes. It was more towards the responses. Edgar posts will continuously spiral to negativity w/ his legal issues, unfortunately. Same with the other ex cast member. Not blaming you at all, it's just frustrating to constantly read responses about the subject.

My understanding is he still captains the Northwestern for salmon tendering and pretty much everything the boat does that doesn't involve The Deadliest Catch. Sig hasn't captained anything but the crab seasons since the early '00s.
