Why did Gina Ferrall abruptly leave MAMMA-MIA?

When Beth & the new cast were announced it also said that Judy McLane & Gina Ferrall were going to continue on as Tanya & Rosie. Gina was absent from Carolee's last (as was Judy) & Beth's first. She has been replaced with Alison Briner.

If she decided to leave I would expect that she would have left with Carolee. I think she must have an issue that forced her to leave.

But to leave before Carolee did?

"Gina's been with Mamma Mia! for years now, I highly doubt something abruptly happened. She probably thought she'd stay, and then realized it was a very different experience with the whole new cast? Could be as easy as that..."

So because she's been with Mamma Mia for years, you doubt something abrupt could happen? Like I said, she could have had a health issue we don't know about (and that is none of our business). Or a family emergency that requires her extended absence.

I wish Gina all the best. She is a joy to watch.

I hope that Gina & Judy stay forever. They are the glue that holds the show together.

I know that I'm going to be let down when I see the tour Rosie & Tanya in December.
