I Think If John Ritter Was Still Alive That He Would Have Got Joyce Dewitt And Suzanne Somers To Make Up And Forgive.
Dose Anybody Agree?

I totally agree, it's odd they still aren't speaking after Suzanne leaving, I guess time will come & they will mend whatever split them up. I thought John's passing would bring them back together. Look @ some interview where someone asked Joyce about reuniting but she had to get up. I wish they would settle their differences, I mean it's been too long!

Maybe, maybe not...but if John Ritter had come close to death but hadn't died I bet for sure they would all three be on speaking terms again.

I'm not so sure. The fued was over 20 years old at the time of John's death.

I'm not sure that anyone except the insiders really knows either what happened back then, or what exactly the relations between DeWitt and Somers are now. In any case, I suspect any so-called feud is by now mostly a matter of two very different people, who were it not for the show would likely not have been close, choosing not to associate with each other, since their world-views have nothing in common in any case.

I don't know but I wish they would get together and talk about how they feel. John Ritter and Suzanne Somers did and John said that he is glad that
he reconciled with her. John's exact quote was: "It was emotional but it was very cleansing. It's harder to keep your fist clenched tight than it is to open it." He also said: "We all grown a little older and a little wiser hopefully."

I was really surprised that they didn't get together and do something special in memory of John's death. Couldn't they put their feelings aside and do something for John Ritter? They both agree that they enjoyed working with him. Why couldn't they get together and talk about him and Joyce let Suzanne know how she feels about Suzanne's leaving and Suzanne let Joyce know how she feels about her. It will mentally healthy for both of them to do so. :)

I would have loved to see Joyce and Suzanne come out on stage at the emmys the year after John died to do some sort of tribute but it never happened. I honestly think their's probably something to this feud that the public doesn't even know because it just seems silly after all these years. I doubt they'll ever really make up and it's too bad because they made comedy history.

Not Being Rude, But One Of These Days When One Of Them Passes Away The Other One Is Going To Be Sorry That They Never made Up In Time,Suzanne Was Lucky To Make Up With John Before It Was To Late.

I don't think so. It's been 25+ years and they still haven't made up and sadly, I don't think they ever will. You'd think they would have made up when John passed away or even when Suzanne was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago, but it never happened. Joyce seems to harbor a lot of hard feelings towards Suzanne and IMO she's the one who isn't willing to forgive and forget cause I've seen Suzanne on talk shows over the years and people will ask her about the feud between her and Joyce and Suzanne doesn't seem to know why Joyce won't speak to her and said she doesn't have a problem with her.

I thought they made up at the funeral:confused:

If I were Joyce I would feel the same way. Suzanne is an selfish bitch! She was asked to do a tribute to John on the Three's Company DVD Set and she asked if she was going to get paid for it, so when they said no she said she wouldn't do it. I can honestly say I totally and completely HATE Suzanne Somers with a passion!! :angryfire If it weren't for Three's Company her ass wouldn't have a carreer. She was a nobody before that!

Yea i think so to I would've thought when John died it would've been a wake up call to both of them that they need to put all this nonsense behind them.

I don't think they would have made up if John Ritter were still alive. Its been so long, and they didn't make up after his death, so I really don't think it would have happened if he were still with us.

I used to be very angry with Suzanne, and I'm sure my old rants about her can be found on this board, lol. I've since forgiven her, and think that she was actually a trailblazer for women. Male actors were demanding and getting more money back in those days. I think she went overboard in her demands. I've read that she regrets it, and would have done things differently.

These days, I think Joyce is wrong. To carry a grudge this long is more painful for her. It's often said that you should forgive a person for yourself, not for the other person. It takes emotional energy to stay angry, and when you forgive, you release yourself from bitterness and negativity.

I have a feeling that there's more to Joyce's hard feelings towards Suzanne than what happened on Three's Company 28 years ago. I think Joyce may be jealous of Suzanne, because she went on to have a nice career. Suzanne also has a long marriage, a son and a big family.

I decided a while back that my being angry at Suzanne was senseless. It was over and done with, and I didn't want to be like Joyce, nursing a grudge. Then again, she didn't hurt me. Remaining angry and bitter doesn't do anyone any good. This concludes our lesson on forgiveness, lol.

I agree with you that holding a grudge is bad, but I really don't think Joyce is jealous of Suzanne. Maybe of her marriage, but not of her career. Joyce didn't want to be in the spotlight the way Suzanne has been which is why she disappeared for a while after Three's Company. She's more of a private person. I've actually been lucky enough to exchange a few letters with Joyce and she's a very wonderful lady, Suzanne on the other hand is still quite selfish and greedy. I can never forgive her for the way she acted when asked to pay her respects to John.

I'm sure Suzanne paid her respects to John in her own way. People do things on their own terms. As far as her not doing the DVD over money, unless I hear that out of her mouth, I don't believe it. So much crap is made up these days. I think Joyce seems very nice, but bitter.

IMDB attributes the quote below to Joyce. If this is true, then it didn't pan out for Joyce. Her career went nowhere or she gave up acting. I see she has a few credits to her name. I'm guessing that she invested her TC money wisely.

Talking about her stardom, "'Shirley Maclaine' once said that she didn't want to be a big star, just a long star. That's what I want too".

Oh no, you're right about that. Joyce did plan for a better career than what she has, but at the same time fame scared her.

As for Suzanne, I've always had a bad feeling about her. Something just doesn't add up there for me, I think in the beginning she let fame go to her head, and I give her props for admitting that she was wrong, but she'll never be tops in my book.

Heck, we can't all agree on everything though, that would make the world boring! ;) :D

Everyone knows I've defended Suzanne on this board plenty of times. I just think it's stupid to continue a feud this long and Janice is right...all it does is cause the people involved unhappiness. I've seen both of them on tv and Suzanne seems sad over the feud while Joyce just seems angry. I like Joyce a lot...I've never held anything against her. I was angry with Suzanne a lot when this all started and through most of the 80's. Their comes a point though when you just say that enough is enough. Suzanne made up with John. Their's no doubt in my mind that she loved him and misses him. I don't know why she didn't participate in the DVDs...maybe it was over money...who knows. It makes no difference to me. Priscilla didn't participate in them either and she doesn't get no flack. I don't blame her either. It's just too bad that this show made so many people laugh over the years but the stars still have issues with something that happened almost 28 years ago. If something does happen to one of them, the other will have to live with it for the rest of their life. I just think it's sad.

Walking Tall you are right 27 years is too long to keep up a silly fued. We forgave Suzanne why can't Joyce? Sooner or later one of them is going to die
and the surviving one is going to regret for the rest of her life that she didn't reconcile and put this behind her.

Sometimes it just won't happen, it's sad but that's life. My Mom's Sister was mad at her eldest brother and he passed away almost a year ago and she never made up with any of the family. It's something that happened over 30 or 40 years ago and she refused to put it behind her, she didn't even attend my Mom's memorial service last year. I was mad at my Aunt cause my Mom wanted a reconciliation but her stubborn sister refused. Sadly toward the end of My Mom's life she received a bday card from her brother, but she thought it was from her sister and she got so happy we didn't have the heart to tell her any different. When I attended the Hollywood Collector's show back in October I got to meet Joyce and Pricsilla bother were very gracious. I told Joyce how much I liked her even more than Suzanne and she kind of just smiled but didn't really acknowledge the comment although she thanked me.

I'm just wondering... It is such a well-known fact that DeWitt has NOT "forgiven" Somers, while Somers HAS "forgiven" DeWitt? Have they really not "MADE UP", whatever that means? If not, why exactly MUST they "make up"?

They worked really, really well together for 4 seasons of Three's Company. Or maybe not, as some of us may think. But as fans, that's all we need to know. To be honest, I think everything else is their private business. The mosquito celebrity media will bring it up every so often, but that's the usual media garbage.

They had a conflict at work. They stopped working together. End of story. A very common story, I think.

When put together in simple terms, as you just did here, it makes perfect sense. Former co-workers who had an issue, and never resolved it. I don't think they would have remained friends anyway, even without the issues. They don't seem like each other's type, friendship-wise, but I could be wrong there. Yes, you make a very good point here.

Thanks, Janice! And BTW, rereading the post, I guess I made my point pretty harshly. So in case anyone was put off by my tone, here's a few smileys I forgot to include the first time: :):):wave:

I'm sorry things didn't work out between your mother and your Aunt. Thanks for sharing your story with us. In reference to Joyce and Suzanne you are right. They probably won't reconcile and it is sad but it is life. I just wanted them to have closure like John Ritter and Suzanne Somers did. :)

I'm not so sure. The fued was over 20 years old at the time of John's death.
I agree. Between the time John and Suzanne made up and his death, the ladies still weren't speaking. I don't see them making up at any time in the forseeable future, sadly.

Well said. That's the way I view the whole thing. They are two very different people who choose to not be involved in each other's lives, and I don't think that leaves either of them bitter.

It's a shame Joyce is always made out to be the bitter one. What has Suzanne done to make herself any better? If anything I've seen Suzanne bring it up once in awhile to the media, while Joyce seemingly has moved on and chooses not to talk about something in the past. For all we know they've exchanged nice words and choose not to make it public. It doesn't need to be because it's not the public's business. But either way, they're obviously not best friends and there's nothing wrong with that. They're not Janet and Chrissy.

^ Yes, you bring up some valid points, Ashlee. Was Joyce still in touch with John before he passed?

I believe so, but they were also very good friends. I recall reading she had talked to him not long before he died.

I don't know why people are so concerned with whether or not Joyce makes up with Suzanne. I don't imagine it is something Joyce really cares about doing and isn't in regular contact with Suzanne anyway. Just because she doesn't make up with her doesn't make her bitter or a bad person. I have worked with people in the past that I had issues with and today don't really care about talking with them or making up with them or having anything to do with them at all. I think Joyce probably feels the same way with Suzanne.
