[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 417781, member: 5079"] Execution can make just about any plot work, so I'm glad it didn't sour the character for you. In concept, I still hate it. Martin was shown as a solid guy and loving family man; I find it hard to believe that man would abandon his family even due to a mid-life crisis. I have no idea why Gould appeared so infrequently. He was a busy actor in the 70s, but didn't seem to have any ongoing conflicts that would have prevented regular appearances on RHODA. In this case, I agree that it may have been easy to just not refer to the character since it was well established already that he didn't often appear; no convoluted excuse was needed. So maybe it was an intentional plot choice and not driven by working around Gould's availability. Interesting to see Gould turned up on LOU GRANT, although obviously not as Mr. Morgenstern. MTM Productions really loved to recycle actors. [/QUOTE]
