Is Diane Farr actually leaving 'Fire Country'?
Fire Country executive producer Tia Napolitano revealed to TV Insider that, "We have life-or-death stakes baked into the show and we’ve been gentle with the death side of that coin ... We are going to lose someone who we love a lot. It’ll come as a great shock."
That doesn't seem to match with Sharon's decision in the Fire Country universe to go peacefully after her kidney donation surgery doesn't take.
Sharon sticks by her decision to not have Bode donate a kidney to her. Sadly, her body rejected the kidney transplant with the donor that was a match (who wasn't Bode) and Sharon realized she didn't want to go through the stressful process again, choosing to live out her last days on her own terms.

So Diane is still a 'Fire Country' star then?
It definitely looks like it based on promotional images from Fire Country Season 1, Episode 16! Titled, "My Kinda Leader," and set to air on Friday, March 10th, Sharon is seen in uniform back at work, following through on her decision to live out the rest of her life on her own terms.
Now what would be tragic is if Sharon ends up dying in a different fashion as a result of her choice not to get a kidney! (Tia did say the major character death would be a shock!)

One could argue that the tragic death has already occurred, when Rebecca (Fiona Rene) perished saving Eve (Jules Latimer).
Diane herself hasn't revealed any information about her possibly exiting Fire Country on her Instagram page, simply sharing more images from Fire Country Season 1, Episode 16 with the straight-to-the-point caption, "Hey, ya busy Friday?"

It looks like Sharon is safe for now on Fire Country, but she is technically dying because of her failing kidney. What could possibly happen next?
