It’s unclear whether Veronica chose to leave the series on her own or if the writers decided to keep her out of Season 4, but either way, Camila’s exile would allow the 53-year-old to return to the show.

Based on a recent Instagram post, it sounds like Veronica was ready to move on. "Becoming different characters is one of my favorite things about being an actor," she wrote on August 14. "[Sometimes] I start inside out, others outside in. It depends... (the important thing is that you guys believe and enjoy the show)." She then added, "New [hair] color for my new gig."
Though she may have said goodbye to Camila, Veronica is forever grateful for the opportunity to have starred on a U.S. series. "I always wanted to try this market and to work with some of the actors that work here [in America]," she previously shared. "You do great television. You have great movies."
She also explained how she tapped into her and Camila’s similarities in order to humanize the character.

"I am a mother as well. I understand drive," she stated. "I understand wanting to prove yourself in a man’s world. I understand commitment. I understand hard work and I understand love and I understand loyalty. Those were points that were easy for me to access."
In an interview with The Wrap, Veronica added, "Camila is a complicated character. She’s not a character that is moved by only one thing. A lot of things move her, a lot of things inspire her."
