His priorities bring him head-to-head with Ingrid as her client courts his family's energy company." And Sunny will portray Victoria St. Clair, "a British hotelier, who's as rich as she is glamorous.

WALKER (The CW) - Co-star Lindsey Morgan is bowing out of the series after two seasons: "After much thoughtful consideration and introspection, I have made the incredibly difficult decision to step away from my role as Micki Ramirez on Walker for personal reasons, and I am eternally grateful to have the support of the producers, CBS Studios and The CW in allowing me to do so," Morgan said in a statement the publication. "The opportunity to play Micki has truly been a blessing as has working alongside the incredible cast and crew of this terrific series. Please know that I will continue to root for my TV family and wish them all the best." (Deadline.com)
