According to an interview with Veronica Cartwright, she left the series because the producers wanted her character involved in more mature situations, such as budding romantic relationships.
Patricia Blair, who played the role of Jemima’s mother, didn’t like this idea because it made her feel too old, so she threatened to leave the series if Cartwright wasn’t removed.
