Is Lina Esco Really Leaving SWAT?

Thanks to Chris' Season 4 arc and the fact that the show has recently introduced a new female team member, Nora Fowler (Norma Kuhling), some fans have expressed concern that Lina Esco's character might follow Stephanie Sigman's Captain Cortez through the exit door. "Wait a minute is Lina Esco leaving #SWAT?" Twitter account @Thembileeh asked. "Why?" The rumors have been going on since the March 3 episode, "Buried," in which Kuhling's character joined the team. "Ahhhhhh Please tell me that Chris isn't leaving SWAT?" @SNOWQUEEN305 tweeted after the episode. 

Now, it's worth noting that at the time of writing, neither Esco nor the powers that be have spoken of a possibility that Chris' time in the show might be coming to an end, so until you hear anything official, there's no reason to assume otherwise. Here's hoping the character survives her hurdles and finds herself in a better place, and that said place is still on the show.
