I'm sure the producers and writers would love to have Stana Katic around full time, but the choice was her's, not theirs. She almost didn't come back this season, and clearly having less episodes to do this year was part of the deal if she returned. It seems they are using the current storyline to write her off the show, and writing Toks/Hayley in as a replacement female lead.
