Fire Country<\/em>\u2018s\u00a0Diane Farr<\/strong>\u00a0was just as caught off guard about her onscreen husband\u00a0Billy Burke<\/strong>\u2018s exit as the rest of\u00a0Us<\/em>.\u201cI found out over the summer. None of us knew what was happening,\u201d Farr, 56, exclusively told\u00a0<\/p>\n The hardest exit for Farr to deal with was Burke, 58,\u00a0who played her onscreen\u00a0husband.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was very clear that the producers or writers were going to make some kind of change. It was Billy who told us all. He told the cast in a group note saying that he wasn\u2019t coming back \u2014 it was pretty devastating,\u201d she recalled. \u201cEveryone was sad and I felt like I was coming back in with only half my character because they\u2019re so tied.\u201d<\/p>\n Farr was \u201cvery nervous\u201d to return without Burke by her side, adding, \u201cI definitely had time to wrap my head around it. We get to have one meeting a year with our showrunner to suggest what we would like to see our character do. There was one year where I asked to show menopause on TV because it was truly happening in my own life. I thought it would be good for America to address that.\u201d<\/p>\n After season 3, Farr asked to properly highlight \u201cwhat happens if someone dies\u201d in the line of duty.<\/p>\n \u201c[I wanted us to show] how big that is for the community and to please allow me to grieve for a really long time,\u201d she added. \u201cIt\u2019s hard on TV. It\u2019s such a common journey for all of us but you can\u2019t do grief week after week after week. It\u2019s too hard. So I was like, we have to find a balance and our showrunner and I spent a lot of time going over the five stages of grief so that it could look different.\u201d<\/p>\n She continued: \u201cAnger is really active. There\u2019s a lot of anger coming for Sharon and the other the most moving one is Sharon is always bartering with God because it\u2019s a little bit of madness. You\u2019re negotiating with something you can\u2019t see about things that only matter to you. So we have a bit of both of those.\u201d<\/p>\n Earlier this year,\u00a0Fire Country\u2019<\/em>s\u00a0third season ended on a cliffhanger with Vince, Sharon and Walter\u2019s (Fahey) lives left in the balance. News broke hours after the finale aired in April that Burke and Arcila were departing the show.<\/p>\n Fans have since held out hope that\u00a0Fire Country<\/em>\u00a0would wait a beat before teasing\u00a0any more possible exits \u2014 or onscreen deaths.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m still worried. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s PTSD from last season or just looking at the finances of all of TV but I\u2019m nervous,\u201d Farr admitted to Us. \u201cI\u2019m very happy that [our spinoff] Sheriff Country is doing so well. It feels like the entire night is really going somewhere so that there\u2019s fluidity. But we\u2019re on a fire show. Any of us can die at any time and maybe that keeps us a little more honest.\u201d<\/p>\n Fire Country<\/em> airs on CBS Fridays at 9 p.m. ET. New episodes will be streaming the next day on Paramount+.<\/p>\n Earlier this year,\u00a0<\/p>\n Todd and Patricia are the reality feud I never saw coming.\u00a0Their tiny tit for tat\u00a0started after Todd\u2019s release from prison. \u201cDuring the [post-prison] press conference, I had stated that we are doing a hotel and it\u2019s going to be near Charleston, South Carolina,\u201d Todd explained. In response, Patricia said, \u201cWell, there goes the neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n Well, Todd did not like that. So, he made several jests about Patricia, which mainly focused on her older age and her finances. Overall, it was gross.<\/p>\n So, recently clapping back via\u00a0Decider, Pat quipped, \u201cHe\u2019s very irrelevant. I said four words\u2014there goes the neighborhood \u2014 and he went on, and he did a whole program about me. It was just a comment in passing.\u201d Nevertheless, Patricia stands by her original stance, saying, \u201cWe just don\u2019t need any more\u00a0felons in Charleston.\u201d<\/p>\n Todd and his wife,\u00a0Julie Chrisley, were indicted on charges of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud, and conspiracy to defraud the United States back in 2019. They swore they were innocent. Yet, they were still found guilty. In all,\u00a0The Chrisleys: Back to Reality\u00a0stars received a combined 19 years in federal prison, but thanks to their pardons, they walked out of their prison cells for good in May of this year.<\/p>\n And now, Ms. Pat wants them to heed her words and not walk toward\u00a0her in Charleston.<\/p>\n Southern Charm Season 11 premieres on November 19, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET\/PT on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock, or Hayu in Canada, the UK, and Ireland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fire Country\u2018s\u00a0Diane Farr\u00a0was just as caught off guard about her onscreen husband\u00a0Billy Burke\u2018s exit as the rest of\u00a0Us.\u201cI found out over the summer.
