All American Season 7’s recent episodes witnessed complications in the relationship between Patience and Cooper. Now, fans have begun speculating about Chelsea Tavares permanently leaving the show. But is there any truth to these rumors?
Here is everything you need to know about the exit rumors of the popular character from the sports drama series.
Has Chelsea Tavares’ Patience left All American permanently?
As of now, it is not confirmed whether Chelsea Tavares’ Patience is permanently leaving All American.
Tavares joined the show in the first season as a recurring character and continued her stint for the next season. However, from Season 3, Patience became a permanent character with fans hooked to her sizzling chemistry with Tamia “Coop” Cooper, played by Bre-Z. Things took a surprising turn in September 2024 when CW announced the exit of Tavares as a series-regular after Season 6 (via Variety).
Aside from Tavares, the other actors who exited All American as series regulars were Cody Christian, Samantha Logan, Monét Mazur, and Karimah Westbrook. On the other hand, the network confirmed Daniel Ezra Spencer’s exit from the cast as a regular back in June 2024.
Following her exit from the main cast, Chelsea Tavares made guest appearances in Season 7. Patience was shown fulfilling her dreams by working in a Broadway production in New York City. She also maintained an on-and-off relationship with Coop.
However, things ended up taking an awkward turn between the couple in the recent episodes. Patience told Coop about getting a chance to perform in a brand-new stage production in London’s West End.
On the other hand, Coop realized that she is very determined in her law school studies. As such, the couple realized that things weren’t working out between them and decided to part ways for good.
Patience and Coop’s separation has led to fans speculating about the former’s permanent exit from the show. The only thing that tied to her guest appearances was her romance with Cooper which has now come to an end. As a result, it is possible Patience might not appear in the show again.
Nevertheless, there’s no official confirmation at this point and the upcoming episodes can give a clearer picture of Patience’s future in All American.
