Why Bailee Madison Disappeared From Hallmark’s Good Witch

Bailee Madison first appeared in season one of “Good Witch,” suddenly a teenager after Grace had been seen as a child in multiple “Good Witch” films. Her relationship with her mom Cassie and learning how to control her magical powers is a big part of the show, as both mother and daughter deal with ups and downs surrounding their magical intuition. The duo quickly became fan favorites as viewers watched Grace grow up into a young woman, but they were shocked when Madison exited after season five. In her last episode, Grace graduates from high school and leaves Middleton to attend college. In an Instagram post, Madison opened up about what the series meant to her and why she felt it was time to leave.

“So grateful for five amazing seasons with Good Witch, the amazing cast and crew which have become like family and Hallmark Channel, who I’ve worked with since I was 11 years old … I couldn’t be more grateful for the new adventures ahead, and to have you all along with me on the ride as my story continues to be written, it’s a thrilling one. With love, respect and gratitude, Bailee.”
