[TV Line] The leading lady on a recently-wrapped series was (virtually) MIA for the show’s entire final season and TPTB maintained at the time that her absence was creatively driven.
Come to find out it had zilch to do with the storyline.
BG Note: MIA = Missing In Action, TPTB = The Powers That Be

[Optional] Why do you think she was missing for most/all of the final season?
Kerzep says
Megan Markle. Suits. Because she was with Prince Harry
KatarinaJ says
Megan Markle? I didn’t know if recently-wrapped simply meant done for the season or a show that ended. I am sure she was MIA because of distancing herself from the series, Hollywood, etc in prepping to become a royal.
gilmourh says
January Jones on Mad Men?
kimmukwest says
I want to say Nina Dobrev from Vampire Diaries, but she was MIA for the last 2 seasons.

Meghan Markle
Suits
Sharper_Teeth says
Maybe Vampire Diaries/Nina Dobrev
In my heart of hearts, this is about Twin Peaks and Audrey’s character being mostly left out.

Pauley Perrette
NCIS

pnwpersonkim says
shoshana character from girls
nevwr watched the show, but know the character was a fave!
interviews said it was bc of the characters storyline, but was probably typical girl bs behind the scenes. disappointing.
soozieq says
Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Veep
aaamika2 says
if 2016 still counts as recent this has to be archie panjabi from good wife
badgerette85 says
Scandal/Kerry Washington
ProfessorJay says
Someone from L&O:SVU or NCIS?
INeedAVacation says
Melissa McCarthy, Gilmore Girls (Year in the Life)?
Kind of a stretch but nothing else is coming to my mind.
luna lee says
Eva Green Penny Dreadful. She bailed which caused the show’s cancellation.
pscheck2 says
