Batula first appeared in Season 1 but officially joined in Season 2 as Cooke's girlfriend, and her relationship with Cooke was a central storyline throughout her tenure, Deadline reported. The couple married in 2021, but their separation earlier this year set the stage for the Season 10 drama.

Vulture reported that the departures mean the show loses two main story drivers, raising questions about the dynamics for Season 11. With both Batula and Wilson gone, the series will need to recalibrate its central conflicts as it moves forward.
