A partner is departing "The Good Fight‘s" law firm. Erica Tazel is leaving the CBS All Access legal drama as a series regular, according to The Hollywood Reporter, ahead of "The Good Wife" spin-off’s second season, set to debut next year.

In Season 1, Tazel played attorney Barbara Kolstad, a name partner at law firm Reddick, Boseman, & Kolstad, which Christine Baranski’s Diane Lockhart joined to start the series. She could possibly return as a guest star.

In a way, I'm glad she's leaving. In the beginning of the season it lookes like there would be tension between her and the two new hires, but then that fizzled out for the most part (which was good). Then there was nothing left for her to do, as she didn't have her own real story lines. It seemed she was just hanging on the coat-tails of the other characters. Smart move to reduce her status to guest star.
