Explanation of why Kim Fields appeared in place of Gary Coleman in season 4
The reason why Gary Coleman was missing in a couple of eps in season 4 was because of contract differences with Tandem Productions which was started by his parents who felt he deserved more money
So the eps that Kim Fields appeared in for Gary Coleman below was due to him not showing up for production First Day Blues.........Kim Fields appears The Team..................Kim Field appears It's stated in the article he was missing in 4 eps during season 4 but I cannot discover the other 2 eps he was missing in. http://news.google.com/newspapers?ni...g=3780,1480935 |

I watched "First Day Blues" a couple of weeks ago and I'm pretty sure that's what's going on - is the producers brought in Kim Fields and gave her all of Gary Coleman's lines (for the most part) but personally i don't think it worked well. That was second episode of season 4.
Gary was back in episode three "The Model" and everything was good. I think he only ended up missing two episodes (#2 and #4 - the team). I would guess the producers had to cave in to his demands - he was NOT replaceable on that show. |
