Poor Cheno! Kristin Chenoweth has dropped out of her recurring role on The Good Wife due to an injury she sustained on set last month. Via

“It is with deep regret to inform everyone that due to my injuries, I am unable to return to The Good Wife at this time,” Chenoweth tells PEOPLE in a statement Monday. “[I'm] getting better slowly, and thank you everyone for your concern.” The actress will, however, appear on the season 4 premiere on Sept. 30 (9 p.m. ET).

Kristin was injured by a piece of falling lighting equipment while on the Brooklyn set of the show on July 11. She spent a night in the hospital, but it looks like she’s been recovering slowly. On August 8 she tweeted, “Today not best “pain” day. Remaining positive. (I think).”

But she may return to the show, as she assured a fan on twitter today, ” I love The Good Wife and will be back when i can. :)”

Kristin was a guest judge on American Idol during Season 9 and made several guest appearances on Glee season 1 and 2 as the boozy April Rhodes.

    Maybe she can be an idol judge. She is a fan of the show and I liked her during her stint as a guest judge.

    Oh no, she’s got one of those disorders that make her dizzy as it is, so a head injury would just add to everything.  Hoping for a full recovery!

    I wish I could get the suspicion out of my mind that a lot of this is to add weight to any suit/settlement for KC getting injured on the set.

    Wow, she was injured worse than I thought. Hope she recovers well.

    Yes, this was a bad injury.  Wishing KC a speedy recovering!  She seems like such a delightful person chock full of TALENT!  Take care!
