Claire Holt's Co-Stars React to Her Leaving 'The Originals'

We’re still reeling from the shocking news that Claire Holt has exited The Originals as a series regular.

The 25-year-old actress’ on-screen brother Joseph Morgan immediately tweeted after the episode, “Really wonderful work by @MissClaireHolt in tonight’s #TheOriginals Very proud.”

“@MissClaireHolt amazing episode beautiful girl :)” their fellow co-star Leah Pipes added.

Meanwhile, executive producer Julie Plec has yet to comment on the departure, but teased something big before last night’s showing. “Just half an hour until the Tribunal of Rebekah Mikaelson. #TheOriginals. You will definitely, positively, not be able to guess how it ends,” she wrote.

She was right. We did not see that coming. We’ll miss you, Bex!
