Claire Holt Shockingly Exits 'The Originals' as Series Regular!

Tonight’s episode of The CW’s The Originals was Claire Holt‘s last as a series regular, JustJared.com can confirm.

According to our sources, the 25-year-old Aussie actress will not be returning to the show in the near future, but the door remains open for her to reprise her role in guest appearances if everything lines up. Though, nothing is in the works as of right now.

In tonight’s (March 11) episode, titled “Farewell to Storyville,” her character
Rebekah drives off into the unknown after she was “forgiven” by her brother
Klaus (Joseph Morgan). She also said goodbye to her love Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) and told Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) to take care of her niece.

Rebekah was first introduced in the third season of The Vampire Diaries before
heading to the French Quarter with her brothers for the spin-off series.
