When did Zara Cully begin to have health problems? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

JulieSomoski · 09-08-2007, 01:32 PM

I don't know much on what happened with Zara Cully, so I thought I'd ask now. I've been watching season 3 a lately on my DVD's, and I noticed she was absent from the first 15 episodes, so was that because her health began getting bad, and what exactly went on then? Then, from a different source I heard her health began going bad around the last couple tapings of the second season. Does anyone know exactly what happened?

I haven't seen one episode of season 3 yet with Zara Cully in it. Do you know which episode it was that we first saw her for the season?

Ok just checked, after season 2, she didn't appear again until early season 4. Didn't appear in season 3 at all

Ok since it was only 2 eps toward the end of season 3 that's why I thought she didn't appear at all in that season. I knew it was very little or none

JulieSomoski · 09-08-2007, 02:35 PM

God,she only appeared in 2 episodes of season 3. They really should have thought about making her a recurring character by season 3 and 4 instead of having her starring when she wasn't in most episodes. Was she still starring in season 4, and when exactly did she pass away (wasn't it middle of season 4?.

it's too bad they never even took the time to mention it on the show. We all knew she had died, so the least tehy could have done was show an episode or 2 on her death, instead of pretending like nothing happened.

The Last ep she appeared in before her death was November 12, 1977-"The Last Leaf"

They did in Season 5 when Alan Willis returned. When Tom's father died, George made some sort of smart comment about it, and Louise said that was wrong, especially given the respect Tom gave George when Mother Jefferson passed away.

They also had another episode later on about Mother Jefferson when they thought she had cheated on her husband.

Right...it was a Christmas episode and George found out that his father's best friend had an affair with Mother Jefferson after his father died. This was also during Season 5.

I think they might have mentioned it briefly in a later season 4 episode or an early season 5 episode. What I do know for sure is that it was mentioned in the episode, "George Finds a Father" where George finds out that his mama was fooling around with his guardian after his dad died.

It was then brought up again in the episode "Where's Papa," where a trunk of his mother's stuff was sent to the apartment and he ends up searching for his papa's body so that he can have it dug up and moved in the posh cemetary where is Mom was buried.
