Since premiering in 2019, Sistas has remained one of BET’s biggest scripted hits. While the series kept much of its original ensemble together for years, several major characters have exited the show or are no longer part of the current cast.
Here’s every major departure from Sistas.
Karen Mott (Ebony Obsidian)
Karen was one of the four original women at the heart of Sistas. After nine seasons of relationship drama involving Zac and Aaron, as well as one of the show’s biggest baby storylines, BET confirmed that Ebony Obsidian would not return as a series regular for Season 10.
Her departure marked one of the biggest cast shakeups in the show’s history. No official reason has been announced for her exit. (Deadline)
Sabrina Hollins (Novi Brown)
Sabrina’s friendship with Andi, Karen and Danni helped define the series from the very beginning.
Ahead of Season 10, BET also announced that Novi Brown would not return as a series regular. Her exit ended the original foursome that fans had followed since the series premiered. Like Obsidian’s departure, no official explanation has been released publicly. (Deadline)
Aaron Carter (Kevin Walton)
Aaron evolved from a recurring character into a series regular and became one of the show’s central figures through his relationship with Karen.
His biggest storyline came when it was revealed he was the father of Karen’s baby. Although Kevin Walton was promoted to the main cast, Aaron is no longer part of the current series following Karen’s departure, bringing his chapter of the story to a close. (Wikipedia)
Calvin Rodney (Anthony Dalton)
Calvin spent six seasons as one of the show’s main characters and remained at the center of Sabrina’s complicated love life.
Following Season 6, Anthony Dalton was no longer listed among the series regulars. Although Calvin has not returned to the show, fans continue to hope Tyler Perry revisits the character in the future. (Wikipedia)
Preston Horace (Trinity Whiteside)
Preston’s romance with Danni made him a fan favorite.
After serving as a main cast member through Season 6, Trinity Whiteside’s role shifted as Preston later appeared in Zatima, allowing the character’s story to continue within Tyler Perry’s shared television universe rather than ending altogether. (Wikipedia)
Robin (Austin Scott)
Robin became one of Andi’s most promising love interests and was eventually promoted to the main cast.
Although he played an important role in Andi’s story, Robin is no longer part of the current cast, making him another notable departure from the series. (Wikipedia)
