Reply To: Season 7 – [Spoiler] Departing if show is renewed

Some more quotes from both JMo and Colin:

“I mean, what I’ve always said is that I would never completely abandon the show, but also my contract is up and I have been on network television for 13 years,” she explained. “But I’m definitely in a head space where I definitely feel like I need to find some balance in my life. I need to find a way to be able to be a a part of it if it continues, but also have that balance in my life.”

As for O’Donoghue’s future on the show, he replied, “We’ll just have to wait and see what happens and if there’s a season seven and all that. Then it’ll be interesting to see where we can go with the stories and with the show.”
