Five months is really not that long of a break for a relationship, military couples do that and more often. Given that the Dark Winds actress is already in a recurring role, it wouldn\u2019t be unheard of for her to come and go. <\/p>\n

Earlier this year, she told Us Weekly<\/a> that she \u201cloves doing scenes with Tim,\u201d and in general enjoys working on the show, so it\u2019d be a surprise if she decided to leave it after just two seasons.<\/p>\n
