Her affair with Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) devastated her husband, Eric Forrester (John McCook), and despite the best efforts from all parties, the marriage become unsalvageable (via Celebrity Dirty Laundry). The end of Quinn's marriage opened a door for a genuine relationship with Carter, which in its infant stages in recent episodes. However, the news that Sofer is leaving "The Bold and the Beautiful" puts a monkey wrench in any plans for the couple's future.
Sofer elected not to renew her contract with "Bold," and this is the end of the road for Quinn. However, the news comes as a major surprise considering she finally got her happy ending with Carter. After everything the fledgling couple went through, it's a jarring revelation that it's ending. Carter gave up a future with Paris Buckingham (Diamond White) to be with Quinn (via Showbiz CheatSheet), but the announcement of her exit changes everything.

Quinn isn't a core character but what made her special and must-watch was Rena Sofer's powerhouse performance." The praise for Quinn continued, with one fan saying, "This show has no replacement for Rena Sofer. She is uniquely talented and one of the few who has chemistry with everyone. It's just hitting me what a big blow this is."
