The Originals - Claire Holt Exits Series

At the end of Episode 16 "Farewell To Storyville" Claire Holt's character, Rebekah was seen leaving New Orleans in her red convertible after bidding emotional farewells to the important people there. This was in fact Claire Holt's last moments as a series regular on the show. According to sources close to production, it was entirely Claire's decision to leave The Originals. The show have left the option for her to return as a guest star periodically in the future if she may so wish.
Let's hope we see Rebekah again in the future! OR maybe she should just return to Mystic Falls and make Matt Donovan happy?
