The Mystery Of Alara's Departure:
For fans, she's known for her amazing strength. An awesome security officer who makes sure that The Orville and its crew members stay safe, as well as Alara being an extremely capable and strong crew member!
But Alara Kitan's story had to come to a dramatic turn, that came out of nowhere in a surprising and emotionally engaging twist.
What Caused Alara To Leave The Orville?
In The Orville: New Horizons season 2 during an episode known as "Home," the fans learned about what caused this shocking departure for Alara! You'll notice The Orville is not only focused on sci-fi adventure but its plot has a lot of heart and deep, emotional character development.
She was forced to leave the ship. As viewers get a sense that this is all part of Alara's character growth as her journey is something many "Star Trek" fans will relate to!
- It's shown in a heartbreaking way how her character begins to become weaker!
- Her super strength, a very special element for the series, that helped her over come the tough challenges as security officer, seemed to be vanishing!
- Why did this happen? She lived in a different gravitational pull!
For this story, she came from "Xelaya", so what really had to happen, as Alara had to return to Xelaya, a very dramatic goodbye for this unforgettable, heroic character who was loved by fans!
Her story had so many twists and turns. It took on an incredible transformation! She was no longer a rookie, but one who found a purpose, and grew! Alara has a big moment for fans when she is confronted by the truth! The crew on "The Orville" even did everything they could to help Alara out and get back on track, offering a special treatment from the ship's Chief Medical Officer, Doctor Claire Finn.
For Alara Kitan, that was not what she really wanted. She loved being part of "The Orville's" crew but knew the call to come home to her family was one she couldn't resist. And for anyone who loved "The Orville" series, it gave this a dramatic and touching departure!
Why Did Halston Sage Leave The Orville in Real Life?
For fans, there's always more than meets the eye! Even when it comes to a series as amazing as "The Orville!" There have been tons of rumors! No one knows for sure what happened to the real Halston Sage!
It looks like those at Fox and even Seth MacFarlane, the show creator who's also in the show as "Ed Mercer!" have not released the truth. The show's producer David Goodman said that "Sage was still a friend" to the show's production and even said that they were ready to have Sage come back if possible! There is not a real reason out there that anyone can prove right now. But we are also unsure if there is anything that makes this look like the actors decided to leave!
While no one has said what's true, Sage went on record saying that the decision wasn't one she took by choice but a choice that the crew felt was important for "The Orville" series to succeed! Even with all these unknown answers it still doesn't seem like a negative event. No one is suggesting it was about making anyone angry!
Returning to The Orville
Even with an exit for this special character it's clear there were no big problems as well, as you might have seen, and what looks to have changed this whole story. Alara returned to the main crew in The Orville: New Horizons season 2's ending episode and, even though that is super intriguing, she even came back again, as fans wanted to see her, in Season 3.

"Alara was so much a part of the show. She really came out and made fans want her back, but how much has this had an impact on this big series?
Now we're in the season 4 realm of "The Orville," but even with an incredible return of Alara Kitan and the awesome success of the season 3 finale.

The big questions surrounding it have left so many fans wanting more, and who knows?
