[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 438434, member: 5079"] While I don't doubt Somers and DeWitt did not welcome another woman cutting into their screen time, it was apparently Ritter who complained about Lana. He was said to find it implausible that horny Jack would turn down the advances of horny Lana, even if she was "older". Of course that whole cast was a mess of pathologies and rivalries, so who knows the real reason? I find it interesting that Ritter seemingly escaped without taking any reputational damage. At minimum, he was content to be cast as the golden boy while his female co-stars were sidelined and discarded. And that's kindly assuming he wasn't actively conspiring with the network and producers to focus the spotlight on himself. Considering that he at least passively treated DeWitt quite shabbily at the end of the series run, I don't know that I give him that benefit of doubt. [/QUOTE]
