“Amanda has been the character who has protected Will for as long as she has known him. So this gives us the opportunity for a completely new dynamic in the GBI, because her replacement will not have that same relationship with Will. Her death had the most impact on the most amount of characters. It really sets everybody reeling from this enormous loss. So it’s such a reset for our characters in a way that is painful but exciting for Season 5,” showrunner Karine Rosenthal told Variety.

“Nobody gets to always exit their shows — even on the writing side — on their own terms all the time,” showrunner Daniel T. Thomsen added. “It’s hard to do that with grace. So it was just very impressive. She is a total pro.”
