"Mindy Project" Exclusive: Amanda Setton to Depart, Anna Camp Bumped to Recurring
by Michael Ausiello

A little midseason tinkering is underway at "The Mindy Project".

TVLine has learned exclusively that Amanda Setton, who plays office sexpot Shauna on Fox’s rookie comedy, is departing the series.

Additionally, Anna Camp, aka Gwen, the longtime BFF of Mindy Kaling’s titular OB/GYN, has been bumped from series regular to recurring.

I’m told Setton is exiting for creative reasons, while Camp asked to be taken off contract — a move that will allow the in-demand actress to pursue other opportunities while continuing to appear on "Mindy Project" (and a source insists she will continue to appear).

The mini shake-up comes as the show, which has already been picked up for a full season, is getting ready to introduce a new female character. Earlier this week, a casting call went out for the recurring and potentially series regular role of Maggie, a tomboyish college friend of Mindy’s.

I just don't understand why they bring back that old cranky nurse to replace Gwen and Shauna for no reason at all? These two young women are nicer and better than that old cranky nurse and this show is more importantly focused on young adult, not old adults! That is a bad mistake in that part!

I hate that cranky old nurse Beverley. She not only slacked at her job, but she also ASSUALTED Dr. Mindy Lahiri. Why in the world would they hire her back? This woman actually belongs in jail on assault charges.

I don't know why they bring back that old nurse for no reason at all either! But if they keep her as permanent, then they should add a cranky old man doctor to be paired with than old nurse, in the next season, to make it better!

But in the meantime, they are going to add another young female character, in the next season, who is going to be more like a Mindy and Betsy type.

The next season of this show should have eight characters. 2 of them are going to be old people, 6 others are young adults. One half is going to be four men and the other is four women. That's my opinion!

I need to request for this episode "Hooked On You" to get re-aired and analyze the truth about both departures of Gwen and Shauna. They both need to return to this show as guests.

I have a feeling the departure of the Shauna character was considered private, she may have been transferred.

The riddance of both Gwen and Shauna was wrong and accepting Beverly as permanent was also wrong. Those two wrong moves by the strict TV old critics cannot be tolerated and that's the reason why this show failed to get nominated for the Emmys 2013!

The only solution is to get a cranky old man doctor, so Beverly can gain more relief and this show can get nominated for the Emmys 2014!
