There's been several reason noted. One was that Rachelle was working in a role for another film. However, Rachelle says that she was surprised and disappointed that she didn't get to play the character again. She would have gladly worked things out so that she could continue to play the character....but I don't think the producers of ECLIPSE thought that Rachelle was all that important, so they replaced her with another well-known actress, Bryce Dallas Howard, who I thought was fine in the role. However, I think Rachelle would have been better in the role.
