Ive watched every season with relish.

I just love it, Hamilton toldUs Weeklyin a new interview.

She continued, When you really buy into something, you dont see yourself in it.

So I think, in a way, it kind of ruined the show for me.

I never watch [a project] once Im in something.

It would just completely take me out of the reality of it to see myself in there.

So I wont be watching [season 5].

The actress says creatorsMattandRoss Dufferinitially gave her “the shape of the character, but not of the story.

They have to be very careful with their story,” she said.

“So I still dont know how it ends.

And it takes a lot of discipline to not know where its going to go.

But thats to protect it from all of the people that want to know.

Unfortunately for her, Hamilton has picked a nail-biting moment to step back from watching the series.
