Leah Lewis Returns to Matlock Set After Controversy

Leah Lewis has returned to the Matlock set following David Del Rio’s exit.

Happy Return to Set

There’s some relief for Matlock fans! Leah Lewis has confirmed that she’s back on the show’s set and has resumed work.

On Monday, December 1, the 28-year-old actress updated everyone by sharing a photo on her Instagram Stories. In the photo, she was smiling outside the trailer in her character, lawyer Sarah Franklin’s outfit.

She wrote in the caption, “And we’re back up and running,” clearly indicating she’s back with renewed energy.

New beginning after a difficult time

This return is also special because the past few months have been quite turbulent for the show and cast.

In October, Leah’s co-star, David Del Rio, was fired from the show. He was accused of sexual assault on set.

The production team and CBS immediately investigated the matter, and Del Rio was removed from the show that same day. Cameras have started rolling again for the first time since the Thanksgiving break.

Message of Courage and Positivity

Leah has shown great courage after this incident. When the news broke, she said that she was with her mother and was moving forward with “love and strength.”

She thanked fans for their support and said that the most important thing is “strength.”

Her return to the set shows how committed she is to her work and her belief in moving forward in life.

What will happen next in the story?

Now everyone is wondering how the show’s story will change. According to reports, David Del Rio’s character, Billy Martinez, will be completely removed (written out) from the upcoming episodes.

Matlock, a new take on the classic ’80s show, stars Kathy Bates in the lead role.

Now, without Billy’s character, the show’s dynamics will change a bit, but Leah Lewis and the rest of the team seem fully prepared for this new chapter.
