For many, this comes as a surprise, as "Nell" was expected toto take over "Hetty's" job. "Hetty" was rarely seen in season twelve but luckily we'll see more of the character played by Linda Hunt in season 13 according to screenwriter R. Scott Gemmill.
The adorable "Eric" and "Nell" have been a part of the team since the very beginning of the season! Actor Barrett Foa called his departure from the show "bittersweet" but the showrunners made sure fans know they could come back at any time. Gemmill told TVLine, "We'll see what happens."
