Erinn Hayes

Project: Kevin Can Wait

Getting fired from any job can be a pretty big blow for anyone, but there’s extra pressure when it’s something as public as a television show. For actress Erinn Hayes, she had to confirm via social media that she had been removed from the cast of the show Kevin Can Wait after just a season of being onboard. While she was gracious about her exit, even thanking the support she had received from fans of the series, many were actually shocked by her sudden departure. Particularly, how things ended for her character.

The show’s executive producer did explain why Hayes’ character had to be deceased, saying that it was necessary for the storyline. According to them, the show was simply moving toward a different direction and the fact that she had been fired does not reflect Hayes’ performance. To the actress’ credit, she really gave the character so much life, which is why it’s understandable why so many were saddened and disappointed by her exit.
