Emily Swallow left The Mentalist because her role was cut short as per the demands of the storyline. Emily confirmed the news on her tweet.
She made her first appearance on the show in the My Blue Heaven episode as a disguise who presented herself to Patrick Jane as a different woman.
Swallow was one of the main characters of the show, along with Abbott, who also made an appearance in a similar fashion as hers.
It was thought she could be in a love triangle with Jane and Lisbon, but the plot never ultimately materialized.
The plot of her character ended when Bruno Heller changed his mind about cutting her role out.
She was initially on the show to form a love triangle with FIsher, Jane, and Lisbon but the idea was dropped by Heller.
She was in season 6 with Lisbon, Jane, and others when they were in the FBI.
Fans were quick to react when they found out that she won’t be in the next season of the show and started questioning her about it.
In one tweet she replied to her fan saying “Don’t be sad! I’ll still be popping up on your tv screen 🙂 ” on her Twitter.
As per Reddit discussion by her fans, they were shocked to see her leaving the show abruptly.
