Sam's idealism and true goodness will be missed. He is a truly good guy and The West Wing will be lost without him. Sam is the kind of guy we all wish we knew.

your beauty
and above all you!
I will miss you and I love you

After seeing the stunning performance given by Rob Lowe in "The California 47th" I have sworn never to watch The West Wing again. How they could let a character so wonderful and refreshing slip away as well as an actor so talented is beyond me. Sam, I miss you already; his humour, class and charm made him stand out from the crowd. I wish politicians were as good-hearted and caring as Sam, and I wish men in general were too. Everyone should take a leaf out of Sam's book--be compassionate, be idealistic and be passionate enough to change the world.

All my love to Sam and Rob--for making a difference when it mattered.

Goodbye, Sam. You don't deserve to pushed out like this but we love you all the same. The West Wing will suffer in ratings now your gone and we will suffer now you're not on our TV.
Good Luck.

Thank-you Rob Lowe for being Sam Seaborn. It's been a great 4 years and Sam will be missed. After countless letters, emails, and various other attempts to Save Sam it's not to be. I've admired your grace through the past 6 months. It couldn't have been easy. I won't be watching The West Wing after Sam is gone. Too painful.

I am looking forward to your new projects especially a new series for NBC. Good luck to Lyon's Den!

All the best to you and your family. Thanks for Sam!

Sam Seaborn, you will be missed. Your idealism, your patriotism, your chivalry. I'll miss your ability to apologize when you feel you've done wrong. I'll miss how you gave the crackpots attention and respect. I'll miss how you felt the government should reach high. I'll miss everything, but mostly I'll miss you because you were one of the last truly good men on TV.

Rob Lowe, I won't say goodbye to you. I'll just say see you later, because I'm sure I will see you later. A man of your talent will be on our screens for a long time to come.

Thank you for not only bringing Sam to life and giving him his soul, but for behaving in such a classy and dignified way throughout all of this.

Sam, you will be missed by me. But you're like me, so much it's scary, so it won't be so different. And have fun with Ainsley in Miami!

Thank you, Rob, for making Sam such a wonderful character. You're an excellent actor. You gave Sam so much depth, even when there was little to work with. I will miss Sam, but I will follow you away from "TWW" to Lyon's Den. I look forward to falling in love with a new Rob Lowe character. Here's to the future and your continued success!

Sam Seaborn, one of a kind. Sam Seaborn, one of us. This only I say.

Sam, I miss you so much already. You were without doubt the best character on The West Wing and the show will always feel empty now you've gone. Rob, even when they shouted you down and your colleagues at The West Wing were less than civil about you, you were dignified and classy. I have so much respect for a man of your integrity and I wish you good luck on Lyon's Den.

Gostaria muito que Rob Lowe desistisse da idéia de sair, Sam Seaborn é ótimo, inteligente, bonito, é o máximo. Ainda tenho esperanças que por muito tempo vê-lo em West Wing. Sou fã dos trabalhos do Rob Lowe a muito tempo mais tenho de admitir ele se superou como Sam Seaborn. Eu o adoro.

How ironic that such a character as Sam, who left a $500/hr. job because he didn't believe in what he was doing anymore to go earn less money than any kid with a paper route doing what he loved, should end in dispute over wanting more money. I suppose I should look on the bright side: At least he got written off, unlike Mandy (and countless others) who just disappeared.

To Samuel Norman Seaborn, who fought the tough fights that needed fighting, lent words to the voiceless and the disenchanted, and knew how to wear a tux: may he have a long political career off-screen, full of happiness, success, and the ability to change the world; may he speak words of great wisdom in both English and Spanish with the power to change minds, hearts, and policy; and may he always remain true to the Sam we have all grown to know and love, so full of optimism and hope for a better world.

Vaya y cambia el mundo, Sam; Te echaró el menos mucho.

I will miss you. Please think of me. I will always be your fan.

Sam was the most inspirational character I have seen on TV. He was the man who lent voice to everyone who couldn't speak for themselves & he was the good guy 100% of the time. I guess he started out in Aaron Sorkin's imagination as the George Stephanopoulos character in The West Wing -- the young ambitious & attractive one the girls could love, but Rob Lowe made him so much more. A true fighter with the best of hearts and the guy we all wanna know or be. Sam has left a void in The West Wing that cannot be filled & I'm sad to say I'm not the avid viewer I once was. The show is still good, but it's not great and it won't be without Sam. He was the Heart in the show, the compassion and the one who never took the easy route out for political gain. He was honourable until the end. May Sam have an amazing career in California and guest star in our favorite show sometimes! And may Rob have the lifelong successes he so deserves. I will be first in the queue for his new movie A View From the Top and I am waiting excitedly for Lyon's Den to start! Goodbye sweet Sam and Good look Rob.

Bye Sam... I'll Miss you.

Sam was the best thing about The West Wing, the hope of the future. We need to still hear Sam's echo in the writing. Sam Seaborn Lives!

Goodbye, Sam, you were an inspiration. I wish everyone had your goodness in reality. All the very best of luck to Rob Lowe in his future projects. He is a very talented actor and a good guy who is an easy target of ridicule and has suffered cruel comments for way too long. Many people love & appreciate your talent, Rob, and we look forward to Lyon's Den. God Bless.

Thank you, Rob, for your dedication to your character. I will miss the idealistic reminder of the goodness of America that Sam Seaborn emanated. May he (and you) find success in further endeavors.

I will miss you sooooooo much!!!!! The White House will never have a speech writer like you again! We love you!!

Good Bye, Sam, you were the best character on TWW. Your honesty, caring, thoughtfulness and intelligence will be sorely missed. How they could have let you go is beyond me! Good Bye, Rob, you have an amazing talent and you brought Sam to life. I will miss you both. Looking forward to seeing you on my TV again.

There are certain characters that a viewer loves from the beginning. Sam Seaborn is one of those actors. He brings a chivalrous and yet vulnerability to the White House. I will miss Sam Seaborn and hope that he returns to the West Wing if not for his sake for his best friend Josh.

This show is just not the same without you, Rob! The soul has gone now Sam has gone! Good Luck with Lyon's Den. May it be the huge success we all know it can be.

Goodbye, old friend. I will miss you.

Sam, you were my favorite member of the White House senior staff, and it has not been the same without you. No one has as much heart as you. You put great effort into everything that you do, and you are always trying to change the world. And yes, you did accidentally sleep with a prostitute, but then you tried to change her, and that was heroic. I love you Sam! And thank you Rob Lowe for portraying Sam! You are so beautiful and an awesome actor. You definitely should have been the highest paid cast member!

Miss you, Sam.
