As the fairytale goes, once upon a time there was a miller (Mark Cook) who married his daughter Evalina (Hannah Baxter-Eve) off to the King (Colin Malone) with a promise that Evalina could spin straw into gold, thus providing the financial means for the kingdom to secure protection against its enemies. Of course, Evalina does not possesses that particular skill but an imp in the shadows of her prison does. Enter Rumpelstiltskin (Joss Carter), who will continue to produce the gold and allow Evalina to pass his magical talents off as her work, but the imp has a deal with a demonic overlord to settle and those services come at an increasingly hefty price…

Why did the showrunners kill off Carter, the Taraji P. Henson Person of Interest character, in season 3? Carter, a main character since season 1, played an integral role in the first three seasons of the series, which focused on the efforts of Reese (Jim Caviezel) and Finch (Michael Emerson) to save people who were in danger. This mission relied on Finch's mysterious "machine," which provided them with "numbers" that told them who they had to investigate. Early in Person of Interest season 1, their vigilante activities attracted the attention of the NYPD.

This brought Detective Joss Carter to Person of Interest, a person determined to catch and arrest Reese, the person she called "the man in the suit." After meeting Reese and developing a better understanding of what they did, she became a reluctant ally to them. Carter's position at the NYPD provided them with valuable information and connections that they were...

Henson as Joss Carter, Kevin Chapman as Lionel Fusco, Amy Acker as Root, and Sarah Shahi as Sameen Shaw.

Five-and-a-half years after NYPD Detective Joss Carter was fatally shot by an Hr stooge, Taraji P. Henson appears to finally be opening up about her shocking exit from CBS’ Person of Interest.

In one of sister site Variety‘s annual Actor on Actor conversations (opposite Grey’s Anatomy‘s Ellen Pompeo), Empire‘s leading lady said, “I had to leave a show before, and it was the most money I’d ever seen in my life, and I was so miserable. It was stealing my joy. I just remember praying to God: ‘God, I’m not happy creatively.’
