Sharing a photo of the cast, she wrote: "There is more than one way to make a family. Love the family in the picture and the family not pictured here. We put our hearts, talent, and time into #station19. Being on social media also means we expose ourselves to a reasonable amount of criticism, but this ain’t fun anymore."

In a separate tweet, she revealed that she would be taking a break before adding: "I love the passion that this show brings out in the fans of it - I'm a fan too. But I love kindness, positivity, and my own mental health more. So for the moment - love to those who need it."
