I was glad when Marcus left the show. He was so awful and annoying. That guy was a horrible actor.

I sorta liked Leroy. He could have stayed.

Do you know why Alan #1 left. He was so much better than Alan #2 who could be pretty damn annoying. Still, he wasn't as bad as Marcus. Marcus was the worst, then Alan #2.

Carmen got a job offer and that's why Florence was able to come back

Reading the Jeffersons Book now and I am closing in on why Alan left the show as I am completing season 4. I just found out the real reason Damon Evans left and it was because he was fired for being late for the taping of Lionel Gets the Business"

So that's why we never see him after that episode again. lol

Read all through season 5 and 6 and they never mentions why Jay Hammer was no longer on the show. Just how Mike Evans ended up back on the show and that Jay Hammer was a soap opera star who took the role as Alan Willis but not why he left. And it wasnt because of another show because after the Jeffersons, he wasnt acting for 2 years, 1979 to 1981

I did not like Jay Hammer's acting at all. I liked the first Alan much better. He was actually pretty cool. Alan #2 (Jay) was incredibly annoying IMO.
