On the Steven Spielberg-produced musical, which chronicles the backstage machinations behind a play about Marilyn Monroe, Jaffrey played Dev Sundaram, the unfaithful fiance to actress Karen Cartwright (Katharine McPhee). Jaime Cepero, meanwhile, played scheming personal assistant and aspiring show producer Ellis Boyd.
Though they will no longer be part of the cast, Jaffrey and Cepero could possibly return for an episode or two next season.
The departures come on the heels of a major shakeup for the show, which found series creator Theresa Rebeck stepping down as showrunner. She will be replaced on season two by former "Gossip Girl" showrunner Josh Safran.
