Despite the ironic fact that, offstage Miss Harper and Miss Leachman were besties, it would have been a tough sell to have had either Rhoda or Phyllis journey across the country to interact with the someone each only had tolerated for their mutual pal Mary's sake. Remember Phyllis's stunt re forgetting to bring Rhoda to her OWN wedding even got Ida to finally dislike Phyllis so there was no real reason for Phyllis to venture back to NYC.
