Emily VanCamp Leaving ‘The Resident’ After 4 Seasons

deadline.com:

Emily VanCamp has departed Fox’s popular medical drama The Resident after four seasons as a series regular and the female lead.I hear the actress asked to be released from the show at the end of last season.

There was an effort at the time to bring her back in Season 5  — which she was opened to — but it did not work out. I hear there is still hope that she may return as a guest star in the future.

But the Revenge alumna has stepped down as a series regular and the storyline of her character, Nicolette ‘Nic’ Nevin, is expected to be wrapped up in the upcoming Season 5 finale.Fans already are bracing for the worst as Fox is hinting heavily about Nic’s fate in an ominous first promo for the premiere.
