[QUOTE="Carrie Fairchild, post: 350218, member: 673"] There’s a few other tidbits floating around online from either interviews or press coverage, as to why she joined the series in the first place and why she left. Paul Huson or William Bast mention in one of the interviews that they thought she’d only planned to do one season anyway as she needed the money. This ties in with another story that she only did the show because she needed the money after her house was damaged in a fire. The fire happened in June 1985 and her signing to the show was announced in July. There was also talk that she’d only agreed to do 13 episodes in the first season but then agreed to do more as she was enjoying the work. In hindsight, this may have been a cover to explain her sporadic appearances as the season wore on. Around March 1986, she’s quoted as saying she didn’t enjoy getting up at 4am every day, so had asked to only be included in 7 episodes of season two. However, by the summer, it was announced that she wouldn’t be back for season two as she didn’t like how her character had been developed and wanted producers to kill Connie off, so that there’d be no pressure on her to return. I’m sure we’ve discussed all of this before but that’s it in a nutshell. A lot of the above info, I’ve gleaned from here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://carringtondynasty.fandom.com/wiki/Category:The_Colbys[/URL] Interestingly, one of the stipulations of her contract was that she apparently didn’t have to do any press for the show.
