I love the new characters of S7, and I get why they thought it was time to retire Snowing, but I wish they hadn't removed Zelena and Belle (but I loved Belle's closing story). Ginny & Josh (along with Jen) decided to leave, not Adam & Eddy. I heard that they A&E retired their characters. Loads of articles distinguish JMo chose to leave, but the other 5 cast members were the decision of the writers. No, that's definitely not what happened. Ginny and Josh always made it pretty clear that Season Six was going to be their last. Jen exited by her own choice in the eleventh hour. Emilie, Jared and Bex are the only ones who didn't chose to leave. Ginny and Josh exited the show because of their children's education in LA. If i remember, they were the first to be announced to exit.
