I mean, the Ropers (Norman Fell and Audra Lindley) left for their own series, Don Knotts was already a name performer, and John Ritter was the star of the program. So don't you think that none of them had to worry about Suzanne stealing their scenes? I don't know about Richard Kline, but was Joyce DeWitt's very public grudge for more than 30 years against Suzanne an indication of her lack of character? I mean with all due respect, to Joyce, her career essentially dissolved following the end of Three's Company in 1984. Couldn't she instead, better spent her time and effort shoring up her flagging acting prospects?

Suzanne just wasn't honest, and she's contradicted herself in so many interviews. I don't blame John, Joyce, or the producers for distancing themselves from her for so many years.

Chris Mann basically says the same thing in his fifth podcast (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byuZUefiMK0): that she was so smart, funny, and talented, but her reality is very different from anyone else's... or what's been recorded on tape and film.

HELL YES they did!

Suzanne chose MONEY over her castmates PERIOD! John told Suzanne you don't renegotiate in the middle of the season but she did it anyway. She got dumb ideas from her dopey husband!

Yes if they had to rehearse with two extra scripts. Why wouldnt they if they had to do more work with her being out???

It's one thing if Suzanne just demanded a raise, then people would've merely seen her as just being greedy when it was without reason. But Suzanne was also being unprofessional. Who in their right mind, refuses to show up for work in early into a season? This naturally caused the producers to scramble and redo the scripts.

Why couldn't Suzanne do what Farrah Fawcett did when she bailed on Charlie's Angels after the first season? Farrah waited until filming wrapped for the season to leave. Of course, Suzanne herself, has reframed her shenanigans as a feminist standing up to the patriarchy to demand equal pay.

Old news.

I don't know if this is true but allegedly, the producers did not keep Jenilee Harrison's Cindy Snow because they were so ticked at Suzanne that they wanted to completely and totally remove all remnants of the Chrissy character from the show. This meant writing off Cindy after Priscilla Barnes was hired to play Terri Alden because she was related to Chrissy (and therefore putting Harrison out of a job).

Wow, that is really ******. I never liked how the producers wrote off Cindy Snow.

I think when she didn't get her way, she chose to go on the talk shows and trash the show.
She thought she would get the show canceled. To me, that's thinking about yourself and nobody else. So I'd say at that point , they did have a justifiable reason. It was their livelihood too.

The thing is this for me, Suzanne claims in interviews that she only wanted what John was making because she felt she was his equal on the show. Okay, but John was making $50k not $150k. Even today she neglects to say that it was her greed that cost her job. She wanted $150k plus 10% of the show profits plus merchandise. Even to this day, she leaves this part out.

No one is going to have a good relationship with a coworker who stops coming to work and still employed

And maybe John and Joyce were particularly angry with Suzanne because she was messing with their livelihoods and job security. I mean, I would imagine that they as actors were worried that Suzanne would get show cancelled or without her it would tank. And Suzanne was basically, hijacking the show at the beginning of the fifth season (https://jacksonupperco.com/2015/07/07/the-ten-best-threes-company-episodes-of-season-five/) (1980-81) and they never knew if she was going show up or not.

Plus they had to do more work while Suzaane was out until Jenilee Harrison came on board

It was Suzanne's behavior that people had issue with. The People magazine shoot started trouble with Suzanne on the cover and John and Joyce cut and paste smaller above Suzanne. Her ego started to grow. No doubt ALL of them were underpaid based on other networks and the success of the show. But when she started not showing up, faking illness, and demanding more money was a major factor. A bridge too far for ABC was that Suzanne had a tentative deal with CBS to do a show with them based on the Chrissy Snow character.
So yes, her behavior caused major disruption on the set.

I remember in one interview she claimed she asked for a higher price than she really wanted as a negotiation tactic and she was willing to go down some until it was a fair price.

She refuses to say that she F'd up. :)

She was able to ask for more since she already had a signed contract from another network

The amount of years they held a grudge against her was immature. John and Suzanne finally made up in the mid to late 90s I think. Suzanne and Joyce reunited about 5 years ago. finally acting like adults.

It wasnt immature, how would your relationship be with coworkers who never come to work and you have to work harder because of it?????

Most adults wouldn't hold a grudge that long. Lol

I like SS, but she has contradicted herself many times.

At the end of the day, SS had a better agent/publicist as she continued to have work and side projects. Unfortunately. JD's career withered away after TC.

I think DeWitt’s heart always belonged to the theater and not really television.
