Eve Best will not be returning for Nurse
Jackie ‘s upcoming sixth season, TVLine has
learned exclusively.
“It was her choice,” executive producer Richie Jackson says. “She wanted to move back to London and devote time to theatre work there.”
Best — who played Dr. Eleanor O’Hara, the onscreen confidante and co- worker of Edie Falco’s title character, since the launch of the Showtime dramedy in 2009 — actually relocated to her native UK prior to the start of the show’s current fifth season. However, producers managed to keep O’Hara around via a handful of pre-taped cameos. (On the show, O’Hara also relocated to London.)

I thought this was going to happen but still upset about it.
ReplyDeleteSo sad, it was one of my favorite characters on the show and she had great chemistry with Edie.
ReplyDeleteThis breaks my heart. I'm happy for Eve Best that she gets to do what she wants, but I'm going to miss O'Hara so bloody much.
