Dear Damm Fam.

First, I would like to say a very big thank you for your endless, dedicated and fierce support! I feel so lucky to have called so many of you, while rolling in the skin of Mrs. Helen Sharp, watching every tide of your emotional investment in her. What a ride! Thank you for being with me. It meant a lot to me, but it’s time for me to hang up her white coat, as I officially share the news that I won’t be back for the final season of New Amsterdam. While I’m heartbroken, I’m also incredibly excited to see how the story ends as a fan of the series. I’ve had the pleasure of playing Dr. Helen Sharp for 4 seasons – these great writers have built a badass! Beyond gratitude for the opportunity to tell some of her stories!

Fanfic – It’s up to you to say the rest!!

Lots of love Fam!
