Why did Morven Christie leave the Bay

Morven Christie left the Bay in 2020 after her character was killed off.

Morven Christie’s character Cassie Reynolds died in a car crash on the penultimate episode of The Bay, but the actress says she’s proud of her time on the show.

The star, who played police officer Cassie Reynolds on the ITV drama, said she was “incredibly lucky” to have been part of such a successful show. She told Radio Times: “I feel incredibly lucky to have been part of something that has been so well received and that has had such an impact. I’m really proud of it.”

Cassie died in a car crash at the end of series five, which aired in 2020. It came after she discovered her husband Max Branning (Jake Wood) had killed his ex-wife Tanya Branning (Jo Joyner).
