‘Fire Country’ Shocker: Two Original Cast Members Leaving CBS Drama After 3 Seasons
Stephanie Arcila, who plays Gabriela Perez, and Billy Burke, who plays Vince Leone, are leaving CBS' Fire Country after three seasons.
In fact, unlike the recent exit of Peter Krause from another firefighter drama, ABC’s 9-1-1, neither Arcila not Burke’s departures were revealed in Fire Country ‘s two-hour Season 3 finale, which ended in a cliffhanger Friday with three characters’ lives in the balance at the Buena Vista memory care facility where Vince’s father Walter (Jeff Fahey) was being treated. In an exclusive interview with Deadline, which you can read in full here, Fire Country co-creators/executive producers Joan Rater and Tony Phelan and executive producer/showrunner Tia Napolitano confirmed Arcila’s exit as a series regular but would not comment on Burke’s departure as they want to keep fans guessing who exactly would be leaving the show alongside her. Elsewhere in the Season 3 finale, Eve (Jules Latimer) and her crew fought hard but could not save Three Rock from the raging wildfire, while Sharon and Renée (Constance Zimmer) scored a major victory against chemical company Oxalta.
