Courtney Throne Smith leaving (Questions)


I read that she left due to feeling pressure to be thin. Is this true? I am currently watching season 4, and she just disappeared. I knew that Smith had left the show, so I was expecting some sort of goodbye episode. I thought that Georgia might move away or something. But nope. She just isn't there anymore. Are we to assume that she is still working alongside Rene and Whipper? Or did they explain her leaving, and I just missed it?

Georgia pops up again in the series finale and she and Ally are basically just like "we never see each anymore", so yea I think we're just to assume she was still around.

I think her main reason she left the show was to star in According to Jim.

She appears twice after season 3:

She's in season4 episode2 the one where all the girls have a slumber party

And season5 episode22 the series finale

I think you forgot about the episode in which she sues the Cage and Fish law firm for creating an environment that broke up her marriage or something along those lines.

That's in season 3, where she sued the firm.

There wasn't a huge farewell episode, but there WAS an explanation for her departure. She alongside Renee and Jennifer "Whipper" Cone started their own law firm.
