Luke Grimes played James in season 6 but subsequently exited the show before season 7. In an article on TVLine in December 2013, an HBO spokesperson said that the role was being recast "due to the creative direction of the character" and an unnamed insider claimed that Grimes quit after reading the season 7 scripts due to disappointment with the changes made to the character. In an article in Buzzfeed in June 2014, it was claimed that Grimes left the show because he objected to James and Lafayette becoming a couple. In an e-mail to Buzzfeed Grimes's publicist Craig Schneider denied this, claiming that Grimes exit from the show was to do with scheduling with film roles and not with the storylines for season 7. Schneider also claimed that Grimes had not been privy to the storylines for season 7 at the time of his exiting the show. Nathan Parsons took over the role of James for season 7.
