Alexis won't be returning. In fact, she herself said she was expecting it.

"I can't say it came as a shock, it did not come as a shock," said Alexis, adding, "It was a hard conversation. ... I guess I wasn't really prepared [because] I didn't think contracts were coming out like, I thought we had more time. ... So it was a shock when the call came, but I was never shocked about that information," reported People.

"It was a little bit of a relief," she added. "I mean nobody wants the rejection, and no one wants to [hear] you're not asked back. But it already happened to me. It happened to me in season 8. I've been there, done that!"
