(TV) Vanessa Marcil leaving "Las Vegas". grade: F

Just finished watching the season finale to NBC's "Las Vegas", in which Vanessa Marcil's character, Sam, quit because her ex was buying the casino. She was the only reason I watched the show. I hope she doesn't disappear again (could she be returning to "Genereal Hospital"? Hmmm, that'd be great but highly unlikely).
On a side note: she's on the Maxim cover for the Hot 100 list. awesome, i need to pick up that issue.
