on TV.com. Lovato appeared as a guest star
in an episode of the medical drama series Grey's Anatomy as a teenage patient named Hayley
May, whose parents brought her in for schizophrenia. In a review of the episode, EW.compraised her
performance, stating, "I still believe that even an unbiased observer
would conclude that the Disney princess did a fine job acting it up as a
suicidal 16-year-old who was admitted after trying to claw her own eyes
out." On April 19, 2011, People.com reported that Demi Lovato would not be
returning for the third season of Sonny With a Chance due to
her health issues. As a result, the show will be renamed So
Random! and focus only on the sketches rather than the
behind-the-scenes antics. As a result of Lovato's departure from Sonny
with a Chance, the series is the second Disney Channel original series to
have its lead actor/actress leave during the series' run (after So Weird), and the fourth Disney Channel series to
have a main cast member leave the series during its run (withThat's
So Raven and Jonas L.A. also included). The third
season was then turned into its own new
series based
on its new format. On leaving the show, Lovato satated "...it's kind of
sad for me that a chapter of my life has ended but there couldn't be a better
time for me to move on...I don't think going back toSonny would be
healthy for my recovery...Being in front of a camera would make me
nervous."
Lovato said in an
April 2012 interview with KOKO POP UK that music is currently her "top
priority", but that she is "kind of getting the itch to get back into
acting, so we'll see what comes next." In an interview with Fabulous
Magazine UK, Lovato will not come back to acting until she is fully confident.
"I need to be secure in my body before I go back in front of the camera.
Anyone in recovery from an eating disorder would find that triggering, and I'm
not ready," she says.
