“Vanessa Lachey bids farewell to her role as Sweet Jane in a poignant Instagram post. Sharing a tearful video by the ocean, she reminisces about filming episode 1 of ‘NCIS: Hawai’i’ in the same spot back in June 2021. Expressing gratitude for the show’s journey, Lachey reflects on the transient nature of life and the importance of leaving a legacy for future dreamers.
Despite the disappointment of the cancellation, she urges the cast and crew to cherish the beauty of their experience and spread aloha wherever they go. Lachey apologizes for the lack of a proper goodbye and emphasizes the deep connections formed through the show.
Choosing to bid ‘A Hui Hou’ (until we meet again) instead of goodbye, Lachey extends her love and gratitude to the fans and her colleagues.
Earlier reactions to the cancellation included feelings of being ‘gutted, confused, and blindsided,’ but Lachey expressed gratitude and love for her family amidst processing the news.
Her daughter’s sweet gesture of making Mickey Mouse ears to make her smile highlights the impact of the decision beyond just a TV show.
Lachey’s heartfelt connection to Hawai’i shines through, emphasizing how the island has become a true home for her and her family.”
