Seeing the recent actions, it seems both are open to new opportunities. However, you have to know that this is entertainment industry where shows get shelved even after pilot is shot because the channel doesn't approve it.
Even in normal world, if we're unhappy at work, for most, it's not practical/financially possible to just put 2 weeks notice. KD's seen highs and lows with his career. He's talked about the times he sat home after his previous show. The order of events were that he quit show in hope of doing something better and it either got shelved or delayed cause of his fracture and then covid hit. Learning from that experience, he's probably not quitting like last time (even if he wants to) because nothing else has been materialized with certainty. If things don't work out, and he has to sit again home for 2 years, then it's a lot for one to take financially in these times. It can also impact one mentally. So it is practical and wise to cruise along with whatever you get, pocket the money and do your own thing. Based on his live, he seems to have accepted this reality and is on his way for a new career move.
His comment on "understanding" SS issue with multi story/character, were just words. He knows the reality too. If it hurts us, as fans, to see his talent being wasted, for someone who loved/breathed Shiva, who was agitated to come to work during death track, don't you think it would hurt him a lot more with how this is going? He worked hard for this and only he truly knows how he feels. His statement was simply a diplomatic answer to avoid drama. Cause some are just waiting to twist his words in all weird ways. He has a rep to uphold. You can't expect him to voice against his employer- the reason for his bread and butter. Heck even in our non celeb jobs, if we don't like the work /culture, we don't voice our concerns publically and openly. We may do it anonymously over the internet or to our closed ones, but never openly. All while applying to other jobs.
The same applies here. While he's an actor, this is his job and until he finds something solid, he will be here. For all we know he could have been looking for something for 6 months and things just didn't work out for whatever reason. But we will never know until he gets something or speaks about it after the show ends.
At the end of the day, he's a 30 yo man and probably cares the most about his career- more than any fan/well wisher ever could. Trust him to make the right decision for himself. In the meantime, we can manifest something positive for him. A good character with a crisp story and great cast. I'll put it into the universe that if we can't get KDice again, I'd love to see him with Jen Winget, Sanaya, Riddhi D. on an amazing project! They are professional actresses, successful, and don't seem to have ego issues even now. they are not only good actors but good human beings too. And can you even imagine the power house performance these guys would bring to our screens?
