Emily VanCamp left The Resident mainly due to personal priorities shifting toward her family, especially after she announced and welcomed the birth of her first child. She described her exit as bittersweet and emphasized there was no ill will with the show’s team; the decision was about balancing work with growing family commitments. Additionally, around the time of her departure, Nic Nevin’s storyline was concluded on the show, with VanCamp’s character ultimately written off.
