I was told that the show had too many characters and that they needed to downsize because they couldn’t service all of the characters effectively.
They didn’t want any of us to be left in the background and not getting much of a story.
Because there were so many series regulars, they needed to downsize and to find some characters that they felt like they could tie up their stories well.
But Krista had a lot of very complimentary things to say about the work that I had done — especially this past season — and that April was going to have her happy ending.
