Reggie left the show at the end of season 4, with the character deciding to travel and find herself.
Reggie Kostas, played by Terry Farrell, was the original owner of the diner where much of the show “Becker” takes place. She was a main character during the first four seasons of the show. At the end of season 4, the character of Reggie experiences a personal crisis, feeling that her life lacks direction and meaning compared to her high school classmates, who seem to have more successful lives.
In the season 4 finale, after a high school reunion, Reggie decides to leave her diner in the Bronx and go on a journey of self-discovery. This departure was also influenced by behind-the-scenes changes, as Terry Farrell decided to leave the show. The character’s sudden departure was written into the storyline, and the season ended with Reggie leaving a note for Becker and the others, explaining her decision to leave.
When season 5 began, the show introduced a new character, Chris Connor, played by Nancy Travis, who took over the diner and became the new female lead. The show continued for two more seasons without Reggie, and her character was occasionally referenced but never returned to the series.
