More than one actress has played Victoria Newman throughout the soap's run, and Heinle has played the part since 2005. According to Inquisitr, in the midst of the rumors, it was discovered that Heinle took down her Twitter page, which fueled the speculation that she was leaving the show.

However, reports indicate that Heinle's sister in law, Jane Heinle, passed away on Dec. 31 after a difficult battle with cancer. It has been said that the actress was very close to Jane and that she often referred to her as her sister, and the actress may have been spending some time away from the show and social media to deal with this difficult time in her life.
