Now, actress Diane Farr<\/strong> (Sharon)<\/a> is shedding light on what it was like for her to learn that her on-screen partner in crime was exiting the CBS show.<\/p>\n Farr revealed to Us Weekly<\/a> that the cast didn\u2019t know after filming the Season 3 finale who would make it out of the fire at Walter\u2019s (Jeff Fahey<\/strong>) memory care facility alive.<\/p>\n \u201cI found out over the summer,\u201d she stated. \u201cNone of us knew what was happening. Billy, Jeff [Fahey] and I went into the fire and we didn\u2019t have any more information.\u201d<\/p>\n Farr explained there was a chance multiple characters would be leaving the show, given the fire, and also that Jake (Jordan Calloway<\/strong>) <\/a>was slated to transfer to a different fire station. In the end, the powers that be decided that Vince was going to die and Gabriela (Stephanie Arcila<\/strong>) would leave Edgewater.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cIt was very clear that the producers or writers were going to make some kind of change. It was Billy who told us all. He told the cast in a group note saying that he wasn\u2019t coming back \u2014 it was pretty devastating. Everyone was sad and I felt like I was coming back in with only half my character because they\u2019re so tied,\u201d Farr expressed.<\/p>\n Related: Why Did Billy Burke Leave \u2018Fire Country\u2019?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Following the outrage over Vince\u2019s death, Farr shared a very powerful message<\/a> to fans about grief and respecting the fire community realistically on the CBS drama. It was a challenge for her to return to the show without Burke, but as the saying goes, the show must go on.<\/p>\n Sharon\u2019s grief over losing Vince has been a focal point this season, and that will continue, especially when her estranged mother comes to town<\/a>. There\u2019s also the hunt to find out who started the Zabel Ridge fire that killed Vince.<\/p>\n Fire Country airs Fridays at 9\/8c on CBS.<\/em><\/p>\n Next: \u2018Fire Country\u2019 Star Sends \u2018Beautiful\u2019 and Raw Message to Fans Amid \u2018Hard\u2019 Season 4 Cast Shake Up\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Nov 21, 2025, where it first appeared in the TV<\/a> section.
