Spring TV Preview: Where we left off with returning shows

Executive producer Jan Nash explained via Twitter on Tuesday that the cast would not live-tweet the finale out of respect for Young, 29, who committed suicide in August.

Young's character, Det. Barry Frost, has been seen in recent episodes but was absent from the finale. The show paid tribute to the actor with an "In Loving Memory Of" placard in the first episode that aired after his death.

Rizzoli & Isles returns for Season 5 on June 17.
