KEY POINTS:
TV3's award-winning drama/comedy series Outrageous Fortune has lost one of its stars, Brian Sergent, in a row over a knee injury.
The Dominion Post reports today that Sergent, who plays Eric, claims he injured his knee in June while filming and was unfit to continue his role.
He is in America having a knee joint replacement.
However, the show's makers, South Pacific Pictures, dispute that the injury happened on location, and say he is in breach of his contract.
