Laurel Castillo may have figured out how to actually get away with murder.

Or at least just get away.

With the sixth and final season of How to Get Away with Murder having premiered last week, it appears as though Laurel won’t really be a part of it…

According to TVLine, Karla Souza, who portrays the new mom, is no longer a regular on the ABC series.

At the end of season 5, Laurel disappeared with her new baby Christopher, with it expected that season 6 will delve into what happened to the pair.

“Frank still holds a torch for Laurel, whether that’s healthy or not, as do the other characters. So we’ll be getting answers about her whereabouts along the way, and hopefully, we’ll eventually get the final answer of where she is,” said showrunner Pete Nowalk. “And I think Laurel has obviously done some sketchy things in the past. I think now that she has a child, they all probably understand why she would need to run away sooner.”

Despite having left the show, Souza is likely to make a few guest appearances to wrap up some loose ends.
