AJ Michalka, who plays Barry’s girlfriend and Erica’s best friend Lainey on The Goldbergs, will not return to the ABC comedy as a series regular for Season 5, TVLine has learned exclusively.

At the close of the Season 4 finale, Lainey told her beau that she was leaving early for college in Savannah, Georgia. But a long-distance romance is not in the cards for the blonde and Barry, who is still in high school back home.

However, that’s not to say that Michalka won’t make the occasional guest appearance. In fact, “she’s already been to some table reads,” Goldberg reveals. “But it’s not going to be like years past where she’s in [almost] every episode.”
