Hawaii is saying aloha to one of its ladies.

Michelle Borth is not returning to Hawaii Five-0 next season, E! News has confirmed. Borth, who has played McGarrett's (Alex O'Loughlin) love interest, Catherine, since season one, will make her final appearance towards the end of the CBS drama's current fourth season. H50's finale is set to air on Friday, May 9, and the show was recently picked up for a fifth season.

While she was introduced in season one, Borth wasn't made a series regular until season three, and she addressed concerned fans at the time, telling E! News, "I don't want to come in and be disruptive either. I want it to be a gradual easing in for sure."

TVLine first reported the news of Borth's exit from the CBS series.

CBS recently announced Hawaii Five-0's pickup, along with 17 other series. Included in the renewals? The Good Wife, Person of Interest and NCIS, as well as comedies such as The Big Bang Theory, Mike & Molly and Two and a Half Men.

Series that have yet to learn their fate for the 2014-15 season include Intelligence and Hostages, along with three shows, Bad Teacher, Reckless and Friends With Better Lives, which have yet to premiere.

Hawaii Five-0 airs Fridays at 9 p.m. on CBS.
