Justin Hartley‘s Tracker has gone through several shocking cast exits — and there could be more reconfiguration in the future.

During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, executive producer Elwood Reid defended the decision to shake up season 3 with Velma (Abby McEnany) and Bobby’s (Eric Graise) surprise departures.

“Justin has to carry so much of the show. So I don’t want the other characters that are in the show to just be phone-a-friend where whenever he’s in trouble, he just picks up the phone. The challenge in season 3 has been how do we build actual good story out of [it],” Reid teased ahead of the Sunday, October 19, premiere.

Reid pointed out that Reenie (Fiona Rene) and Randy (Chris Lee) are still in the picture.
