I hate when actors do this and leaves fans and shows hanging. She could have at least stayed long enough to play out her character’s exit.

I’ll miss her. This show was basically built around her character. -How they manage w/o her remains to be seen.

This is very surprising to hear, especially given the storyline that had built up during the previous season.

This will definitely be the last season, which makes me sad. Thank you Anna, for 7 wonderful seasons of Christy Plunkett.
😭 She is the reason I watched! I was so sad they didn’t give her more of a storyline the last few seasons… I don’t think I’ll keep watching… This sucks so bad.

I am sure she has good reasons though.
