She wrote on Instagram after the cancellation was announced: ‘Getting to be part of MOM these past 8 years…showing the laughter, love and hope that can come with recovery, has been one of the great honors of my life.’ 

It was previously announced that the show is bowing out with season eight, after co-star Anna Faris exited the series last year.   

Allison has also appeared in such titles as The West Wing, Drop Dead Gorgeous and most recently Breaking News In Yuba County.
