Madeleine and producers announced her exit just days before the season three finale, where her character Macy was killed off, after the Big Bad/Whispering Evil took over her body. After she died, her sisters Mel and Maggie, as well as Harry watched as her spirit became one with the tree in the command center.

Why did Madeleine Mantock leave the show? Based on statements from her and the producers, it appears as they she wanted to leave to pursue other creative endeavors.

“Playing Macy on Charmed for the last three seasons has been an immense privilege and I have so enjoyed working with our fantastic producers, creatives, cast and crew,” Madeleine told TV Line. “I’m incredibly grateful to The CW and CBS Studios for my time on the show and for being a brilliant support in my difficult decision to leave. Huge thanks to our fans who can look forward to, what I know will be, a spectacular fourth season.”

“We can’t thank Madeleine enough for her incredible and inspiring work on Charmed,” added showrunners Liz Kruger and Craig Shapiro. “We will miss her as much as the fans will, but we also respect her decision to move on. This is a difficult time in the world, and everyone has to follow their heart. We wish her well, and the door is always open for a return visit from Macy…one way or another!”

Interestingly enough, on the original Charmed, Shannen Doherty, who played the eldest Charmed one Prue, also left the show after three seasons. Her character was killed off, and a long lost sister, played by Rose McGowan came in to the mix.
