I don't think the producers wanted to lose the character.
Apparently, before leaving for the final time the Sydney based actress had already quit the serial on a no. of occasions because she did not like having to live in a motel during filming at Nunawading although she was eventually persuaded to reprise the role after some time off.
That's the real reason why in the storyline Pixie was released from Wentworth at least once and also why the writers had her inadvertantly escaping from Wentworth (albeit that Pixie did not realise this) with one of her former husbands.
