Jussie Smollett Makes <br />Television History on 'Empire' In what could possibly be his last appearance <br />on the series, Smollett participated in an <br />episode for the record books. Smollett's character, Jamal Lyon, <br />took part in the first-ever gay, <br />black wedding on television. Co-star Gabby Sidibe took to Twitter <br />to promote the episode. It is uncertain if Smollett will return <br />to the show, following accusations that <br />he staged a hate crime against himself. The charges against Smollett <br />have since been dropped, <br />and his co-stars are advocating <br />for his return to the series. According to Deadline, 'Empire' creator Lee Daniels <br />said the actor's fate is "in discussions" on Wednesday.
