Default Wonder why Gary Coleman was missing in the season 7 ep."The Gymnasts"

I know why he was missing in the beginning of season 4 but was wondering why he is missing the Gymnasts ep

You see Willis and Sam but no Arnold.

Not necessarily because he was missing in season 4 due to contract issues. So we don't know for sure

In November of 84 Gary underwent a kidney transplant and he didn't resume taping until January of 85 so that is probably why he wasn't in those episodes.

I know he was like the main star of the show and the biggest person on there but arent they allowed to write an episode or two without him being in it without there being a reason. there other episodes where he only in it in the very begging and not the rest of the episode like the one where this asian guy thinks he mr drummond son and there a few others where he only in it partly
