[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 408718, member: 5079"] That's possible. Even mature, professional child actors come with complications that hinder production. Mostly though, I think she was just tied to Cloris; as Leachman appeared less often, so did Gerritsen. Of course, the writers could have done some stories with Mary & Bess -- I rather liked Mary in the "aunt"/"big sister" role -- but they didn't seem to think of it. Gerritsen only appeared in 24 out of 48 episodes of PHYLLIS, so that show isn't as focused on the mother-daughter dynamic as I'd hope. [/QUOTE]
