She has simply disappeared. We are half way through season two and no sign of her.
Also- where can we watch after season 3? That's the last that's shown on Netflix and Amazon. I need more!!! ??
Dead.
I forget which episode, but it is confirmed through dialogue.

Netflix has season 3 now. I just started season 2. In the second episode Inspector Reid is forced to talk about her public break down, after he failed to find their daughter and confessed his adultery.
Seems a lot went one between the seasons, including the sergeant getting married. Which surprised me more than Mrs Reid being written out.
Reid spoke of being still married in Season 2, then in Season 3:2...while Flynn and Reid are investigating together...Flynn speaks of her death, and mentions he sent condolences. Reid acknowledges he received the message, and then it's back to the story at hand.
shareI don't know why they abandoned the character. It had so much potential.

Maybe the actress had other commitments?
shareFor that reason - the didn't write her as anything other than a mix of grieving mother and nagging wife. As is, she didn't add anything t the show beyond the first season.
I don't trust people who don't like pets and I don't trust people who pets don't like.
Mr. Reid was the one grieving, she said she believed their daughter to be dead and wanted to move on. She found new focus for her life in church and charity work. He is the one that wouldn't clear out her room and was so focused on her possible survival which could have been tied to his guilt over his role in her supposed death. never saw her nag. They argued but he was the one that would not deal with their issues and escaped to work and other women.
shareWho cares? I for one hated the character, and she was odd looking. All chin and no lips.
shareShe had a part in the White Queen. Maybe they had to start filming right away so they just quietly wrote her out. I watched the White Queen before this series and found her character very annoying(not sure if it was the character or actress.) Her role in this series was similar; however, to be fair no one can blame her for finding her way into charity work. There was no one at home for her anymore. Reid was never home and right up to the end always put his work first over everyone, including Miranda.
Critics are good when it is reasonable but it becomes absurd when people do it for fun or jealousy.

This show insisted on keeping its main characters miserable in their personal lives. From the pilot I felt like Mrs. Reid was not long for the show. This show survived off of pure desperation of the main characters. Even Captain Jackson, who had the longest relationship on the show, struggled constantly and ended up a tragic figure.
shareI am always interested when a member of the supporting cast of a series just doesn't appear in the next series, and is only mentioned briefly by the remaining characters afterwards.
Whatever the reason for Hale's leaving the show, we do get some continuing closure on and information as to what happened to Emily Reid over the years, especially in the episode Some Conscience Lost, which pretty much wraps it all up nicely. Good to see glimpses of his wife in photos throughout the rest of the series every so often too, as it makes the Reid family history seem more authentic as well as poignant. I really wished her character had remained and been allowed to progress despite the fact that the character was a bit of a third wheel throughout most of S1, (apart from the two episodes where she's more integral to the plot).
As for why Hale doesn't appear after S1, I do wonder if its because Emily Reid was too similar in temperament and personality to the character of Agnes Rackham in The Crimson Petal and the White. In this terrific mini-series Hale played a vunerable, broken yet stubborn and determined middle-class Vcitorian woman. Hale perhaps might have been worried about being type-cast in future work as delicate, broken women in moody period dramas. Happily doesn't look like it's happening though, as she's in quite a few popular contemporary dramas and comedies.
