‘The Good Wife’ Season 7: Makenzie Vega’s Grace Not a Series Regular | TVLine 

 may be lacking a little Grace when it returns this fall.

TVLine has confirmed that Makenzie Vega — who plays the onscreen daughter of Julianna Margulies’ Alicia — is no longer a series regular.

The CBS drama is now down three series regulars as it heads into Season 7. In addition to Vega, Archie Panjabi and Matthew Goode also lost their full-time status at the end of Season 6. However,

Panjabi and Goode, Vega will maintain a presence on the show (much the same way her

 sibling Graham Phillips has in recent seasons). According to an insider, the status change ties into the show’s continuing efforts to work around its cast’s schedules while also sustaining storylines.

To help fill the voids left by Goode and Panjabi,

‘s seventh season bows Sunday, Oct. 4 at 9/8c.

Well, there’s only so long that a 22-year-old can pretend to be 16, even on TV.

So she’ll have three scenes in the season just like Graham Phillis last year…I’m beyond dissapointed

I liked how Grace and Alicia were bonding this season!

Last season and the 2nd half of season 5 were virtually unwatchable. I think the producers bowed too much to Marguiles’ egotistical and insecure demands. I don’t know if the show can recover from the stupidity of the election, the disintegration of ALL of Alicia’s relationships, the implosion of the firm, and the exit of Kalinda. Saving grace: Christine Baranski. She is so good, I don’t know how Juliana has allowed her to stick around for so long.

Last season really was a disaster. I think CBS and the Kings are well aware of this and are making some big changes. Vega’s reduction of airtime is no loss to the show at all. I read somehere that they’ve built a new set for Peter’s Presidential bid. That sounds interesting.

Boy, I’m with you. I might tune in to gaze longingly at JDM, but that would be my only reason to return.

Christine hung in there through Cybil Shepards old show so I hope she can handle JM also. Her departure would end the show.

I’m not sure why there is surprise over this. Shouldn’t Grace be off to college? Or is she younger than I thought?

I’m not happy they demoted her status! Zach Griener appears in probably the same amount of episodes as a series regular and I care less for his storyline while I enjoy Makenzie’s more! I look forward to her episodes. CBS is making a big mistake!

Oh No!! The show is really going downhill. They really needed all the familiar faces to keep the spirit going. Bye Grace, look forward to your visits.
