[QUOTE="MenaceTheDennis, post: 210157, member: 148"] No big mystery here. Donna’s husband confirmed on the E True Hollywood Story Donna wanted to change the character. Miss Ellie had nothing more to do than raise a coffee mug (his words and untrue imo). Larry confirmed Barbara wanted more money and a reduced schedule. I’m unsure why this wasn’t doable, considering Miss Ellie had less to do in the 1984-1985 season. I thought Donna brought her own take on the role and was a better recast than Emma Samms on Dynasty replacing Pamela Sue Martin (huge disaster that was). With Patrick Duffy leaving, they wanted to bring back Barbara. Barbara owned the role. Obviously they made the right decision. But it was horrible the way they treated Donna. I think it probably all started with Larry and funneled down to some of the cast and a lot of the crew. Susan Howard was the only one who attended Donnas funeral from the show. Speaks volumes.
