Why did Dania Ramirez leave Alert on Fox, and where is Nikki?
Why did Dania Ramirez leave Alert: Missing Persons Unit on Fox? Tonight’s installment is the first since Nikki’s shocking death — and based on everything we have heard so far, there is almost zero evidence that she is magically going to be revived.
Based on what producers have said so far, the character has been killed off and they are not trying to jerk anyone around with some last-second twist. So why is this happening?

Well, losing major characters can be a hard situation to figure out, especially when there are so many factors that go into a decision to remove someone from a cast. Yet, based on everything that has been said so far, it feels like killing off Nikki was a creative choice to shake up the series and surprise viewers. Ramirez has yet to come out and say anything to the contrary and until she says otherwise (if she ever does), we tend to think that this was the case here. We do recognize that a series like Alert may be looking to do something to generate conversation, mostly because so much of its existence so far has been very-much under the radar.
For the time being, the struggle for this show is simply whether or not it can really move forward after such a divisive twist. We’ve seen the fanbase’s largely-negative response to it and at this point, the biggest thing that the producers can do (if they are really committing to this) is doing whatever they can in order to ensure that Nikki’s death has weight. You cannot just do something where it is mentioned once or twice and from there, you simply move on to a number of other cases.
