But Ive decided that its time for me to move on to explore other creative opportunities.
We had so many wonderful times together during the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.
We really do have the best fans ever.
I am looking forward to the next chapter and am excited about the future.
But with a show so full of twists and turns, a character might never really be gone.
