Actress Stephanie Arcila, who portrayed Gabriela Perez in the hit series Fire Country, has become a hot topic after rumors surfaced suggesting she might be pregnant. Her unexpected departure following Season 3 left fans wondering: did a pregnancy prompt her to leave the show?
However, according to official sources and statements from the production team, Arcila’s exit was purely a creative decision and not related to any personal circumstances like pregnancy. In the Season 3 finale, Gabriela’s character faced a series of intense events—her wedding was interrupted, she broke up with Bode, her father was arrested and hospitalized, and she found herself being stalked. These dramatic turns were used to wrap up Gabriela’s storyline in Edgewater—at least for now.
Executive producer Tony Phelan explained, “We felt that both Gabriela and Bode needed a reset to grow as individuals before anything else.” He also emphasized that the door is still open for Arcila to return in the future and that Gabriela and Bode’s story is far from over.
Arcila herself admitted in a recent interview that she was surprised to learn about her character’s departure while filming the Season 3 finale. Nonetheless, she expressed deep gratitude for the role, the production team, her co-stars, and especially the fans who supported her throughout the series.
As for the pregnancy rumors, Arcila has not made any public statements confirming that she is expecting. So far, there is no verified information to support the speculation, which seems to have originated from fans’ assumptions.
In short, Stephanie Arcila’s departure from Fire Country was a storytelling choice and is not tied to any pregnancy rumors. Fans can still hold out hope that Gabriela might make a comeback—stronger than ever, with a refreshed storyline in future seasons.
