It must be mentioned here that the exit of Zoe McLellan has the fans as well as the team is upset. As stated in previous reports, the speculated reasons for McLellan's exit from the show suggest that her dating life and her son, Sebastian is keeping her busy.  It was also heard that she left the show as she was being underpaid and the producers had turned down her request for a raise.  

In other reports, it is being said that Vanessa Fertilo, who plays the new FBI special agent Tammy Gregorio, is having a tough time filling in the shoes of McLellan, who played the fan favorite character, Meredith Brody. Though the actress has blended well with the cast, her character is far from making a mark in the heart of the audience, Morning Ledger claims.

Moreover, Gregorio has her own secrets and her tough character is preventing her to blend in the team. However, she will win the trust of the team soon only to break it sooner.
