Erinn Hayes’ Kevin Can Wait character is actually being killed off
In June, CBS announced that Leah Remini would be joining the cast of Kevin Can Wait and replacing the character played by Erinn Hayes, but at the time it wasn’t clear just how the show would manage replacing one TV wife with star Kevin James’ previous TV wife. During the CBS Executive Panel during the Television Critics Association press tour today, though, the network confirmed that Hayes’ character is being killed off when the show returns for its second season.
