Numerous characters have come and gone from the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch over the popular Paramount series' five seasons and counting. While some left the “Train Station” after making enemies of the Dutton family, a handful of “Yellowstone” characters left the show for good reason. One of them is Cassidy Reed (Kelly Rohrbach), a blonde prosecutor who ran for state attorney general in Season 2 before disappearing after four episodes.
At the beginning of “Yellowstone” Season 2, Cassidy was introduced as a possible replacement for Jamie (Wes Bentley) on the AG ballot, and Jamie's adoptive father (and frequent enemy) John (Kevin Costner) supported Cassidy. Black sheep Jamie (who we think will surely die in Season 5) initially opened up to double-crossing the Dutton family in a bid for a powerful position, but eventually backed out of the election, so Cassidy won by default. In the sixth episode of Season 2, Cassidy disappears, and “Baywatch” and “Ocean's 8” actor Rohrbach disappears with her.
The Attorney General was promoted off-screen
The show eventually gave an explanation for Cassidy's absence, but it didn't come until the third episode of season 3, leaving fans wondering where she ended up for seven episodes. As noted by TVLine's reporter for future governor Lynelle Perry (Wendy Moniz-Grillo) Cassidy, Explaining to former AG Mike Stewart (Timothy Carhart), after a brief run as Montana's AG, Cassidy was elected US Attorney General overall. Once, a character in “Yellowstone” was promoted from the show, not killed off. The episode, “Acceptable Surrender,” aired in 2020, so despite the show's deliberately vague political landscape it seems Cassidy may have ended up working for Donald Trump (or his fictional equivalent).
In real life, Rohrbach married Walmart heir Stewart Walton in 2019. Financial Express has become part of “America's Richest Family” with a net worth of $274 billion as of early 2024. I'm sure anyone in Rohrbach's position would stop acting if they became a billionaire, but even Rohrbach might take time off because she's pregnant with the couple's first child in 2021, according to Page Six. According to the Financial Express, the couple owns homes in Arkansas and Malibu, and Rohrbaugh is taking flying lessons from Walton, who is also a pilot. Aside from his “Yellowstone” appearance, the actor was last credited in Woody Allen’s 2019 film “A Rainy Day in New York.”
After a nearly two-year hiatus, series star Kevin Costner has left “Yellowstone” to finally return to the Paramount Network on November 10, 2024. The second half of season 5 is being promoted as the final episodes of the show. According to some reports, this may not mean the last we'll see of either Kelly Reilly's Beth or Cole Houser's Rip.
