The stars addressed their exits on Twitter. Drew wrote: “For now, I’d like to say: I love you, and I love April, and her story isn’t over yet,” while Capshaw praised her character for giving voice to the LGBTQ community. “Her impact on the world is permanent and forever.

They will always be a part of our Shondaland family.”
