TV shows were a single cast member is persona non grata in real life - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TMC · 07-02-2020, 03:15 AM

Or is hated by a majority of the cast in real life?

The most obvious examples that come to my mind are:
*Tina Louise on Gilligan's Island

*Dustin Diamond on Saved by the Bell

*Suzanne Somers on Three's Company

*Chevy Chase on Saturday Night Live and Community

*Shannen Doherty on Beverly Hills, 90210 and Charmed. Although I would like to assume that Shannen has since reconciled with Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling, given that she took part in the BH 90210 pseudo sequel series last year.

*Delta Burke on Designing Women. Although she eventually reconciled with her castmates and the producers, considering that she would play Suzanne Sugarbaker again in the short-lived Women of the House spin-off.

*Janet Hubert on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

*Amanda Bearse on Married...with Children (at least according to Ed O'Neill)

William Shatner of Star Trek probably fits. Supposedly from all I have read and heard over the years, none of the cast members like him at all, and George Tekai (Sulu) basically hates him. Even James Doohan who played Mr Scott (my favorite TOS character) who by all accounts a very nice and kind person, also couldn’t stand Shatner and refused to speak with him for years but supposedly made up before his death.

I dare say Chevy Chase and the original cast of SNL.

Joyce Dewitt & Suzanne Somers & Richard Kline are friends now.

I don’t understand what’s going on with the cast of Saved By The Bell with also not including Lark Voorhies.

Roseanne & The Connors. It sounds like John Goodman & Laurie Metcalf & Lecy Goranson are friends with Roseanne

I've heard that just about everyone who's worked with Chevy Chase doesn't have very nice things to say about him. My cousin who worked on the show COMMUNITY call him "a really nasty s-o-b".

TMC · 07-03-2020, 05:39 AM

*Lisa Bonet on The Cosby Show (at least prior to Bill Cosby's own fall from grace). Lisa was usually the one who was conspicuously absent from cast reunions and retrospectives. And of course, everybody knows that she infamously had a falling out with Cosby and the producers towards the end of The Cosby Show's run (which is why Denise is absent from the final season).

*Valerie Harper on Valerie (later The Hogan Family) - This is the first really predominate example that I can think of in my lifetime, where the actual star of a show was fired and the show continued onward. This was long before Charlie Sheen (Two and a Half Men) and Roseanne Barr (the revival of Roseanne, which was turned into The Conners).

*Andy Dick on Newsradio - There's that infamous story concerning Jon Lovitz blaming Dick for indirectly being partially responsible for Phil Hartman's murder, because he gave Brynn Hartman, a recovering addict, drugs shortly before she shot and killed Phil.

*Teri Hatcher on Desperate Housewives - Nicollette Sheridan once refereed to Hatcher as the "meanest woman in the world".

*Lea Michele is currently shaping up to be this for Glee.

*Diana Muldaur on Star Trek: The Next Generation - I don't know for sure if she didn't get along with her castmembers, but do know that Dr. Katherine Pulaski was a very unpopular character among Trek fans. And the rectified it by bringing Gates McFadden's Dr. Beverly Crusher back the following year. Muldaur herself admited that she didn't have a fun time working on TNG.

topher grace by most accounts is/was not very well liked by most of his that 70s show castmates

stevea · 07-04-2020, 08:53 PM

I'd bet working with Charlie Sheen was no picnic.

Suzanne Somers reconciled with both John Ritter and Joyce DeWitt years ago.

TMC · 07-09-2020, 04:56 AM

*Frances Beaver on The Andy Griffith Show

*The Olsen Twins on Full House. They seem to be amongst everybody else, the most ashamed from their association with that show.

*Max Baer Jr. on The Beverly Hillbillies. He's kind of like the male version of Tina Louise in that he blames his role as Jethro Bodine for typecasting him and undermining his acting career. He declined to reprise his role in the 1981 made for TV movie that reunited the surviving cast members.

*Kirk Cameron on Growing Pains, at least during the latter portion of the show's production when Cameron became extremely difficult to work with after he became a born again Christian.

Yong Fang · 07-09-2020, 10:07 PM

Max Baer became wealthy by making some low budget movies called Macon County Line and did some other stuff in Hollywood. So much so he tries to bankroll opening a casino in Las Vegas that fell through.

factsoflife · 07-09-2020, 10:12 PM

Katherine Heigl and "Grey's Anatomy"--- I don't think anybody from the cast still speaks to her and Shonda Rhimes is certainly never going to cast her again.

TV Guy · 07-10-2020, 05:22 AM

Teri Hatcher of Desperate Housewives.

RetroGuy2000 · 07-10-2020, 07:51 AM

Shelley Long on Cheers; I remember there were many disputes between her and the rest of the cast, although I think they mostly mended fences years ago. Many people have mentioned it over the years.

There was this recent "blind item" that alluded to Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson sharing a mutual dislike to a "snooty" actress. And said "snooty" actress wasn't Rhea Perlman, Kirstie Alley, nor Bebe Neuwirth.
