"Jessie" revolved around a small-town Texas girl, Jessie (portrayed by Debby Ryan), who moved to New York City to become a nanny for a wealthy family. Peyton List's Emma was the Ross family's only biological child, and she had three younger siblings who had been adopted: Luke, (late Cameron Boyce), Ravi (Karan Barr), and Zuri (Skai Jackson).
After four seasons, "Jessie" ended. And according to a Twitter post from Ryan, there was no drama involved in Disney's decision to end the show. "We did four seasons, the most any Disney Show did. Hit a hundred episodes and it ran its course," Ryan noted. In addition to playing Emma on "Jessie," List portrayed the character on other Disney shows, like "Austin and Ally," as well.
Still, Disney wasn't ready to let go of the Ross family entirely. Before "Jessie" even ended, "Bunk'd" was coming together. As Yahoo! Finance shared, the spin-off sent Emma, Zuri, and Ravi to Camp Kikiwaka, the summer camp in Maine where their parents first met. Emma, who'd been something of a teen fashionista and diva throughout "Jessie," was out of her element as "Bunk'd" began. By the end of Season 3, however, she'd grown immensely thanks to her camp counselor work and she became the Camp Kikiwaka manager (per HITC). In a Season 3 finale twist, Emma had decided to leave camp to model in Italy.
But why did List herself leave the series?
