amy jo johnson wanted to leave the show as early as season 2
she didnt want to be typecast as the pink ranger as she wanted to be a serious actor and she felt the show would keep her from that.
during season 3 they talked her out of leaving right off the bad and managed to keep her for most of season 3 and give her a 9 episode long arc building up to her leaving the show.

then she stopped talking about power rangers in interviews and treated it like an embarrassing old shame even though it made her famous.
then much later on she got cast as jules in the canadian made show flashpoint which had 3 seasons and was the number 1 show in canada finally achieving her dream of being a serious actress.
then she fell in love with canada. applied for duel citizenship and now lives full time in toronto.

and she is much more willing to talk about her power rangers days now though she still doesnt go to power ranger conventions but thats due to her having a bad experience with a stalkerish fan
