Generally speaking the better actors want to do a variety of work and if someone is not on television every week doesn't mean their career is over. It appears Alison King has made a considered decision and good luck to her. Carla as a character has really run her course, what more can she go through!

That's why so many are taking sabbaticals. Few actors enter the profession to play the same rôle for ten years (or a lifetime!) Acting, for most, is about stretching yourself and playing beyond your comfort zone.
