- On May 15, 2024, it was announced that Midori Francis is leaving the series as well, with negotiations taking place for her to return for a few episodes in season 21 to wrap up Mika's storyline.[4]
- Furthermore, it was announced that as part of a cost-cutting move, several of the veteran series regular would face a reduction of their episodic guarantee (the number of episodic fees per season each series regular is entitled to per their contract), likely resulting in less appearances by said regulars throughout the season.[3]
