“It was really shocking, but it was also really beautiful…It was a great death — that’s an honor in and of itself. I’m really happy to got a fun, twisted death, which is just such a great rite of passage for characters on this show. So I was really happy about it, which sounds like such an insane thing to say about being split in half.”

While filming her final scenes, she just felt “like another day at work,” she only realized about her exit when she went back to her trailer as she added that “there was no next scene” for her. That realization left her feeling, “And it was this beautiful, bittersweet moment.”

Since Season 5 of the well-liked series will be its last, the show still has major events to unfold.
