the enviable amount of authority John Finch developed at Granada, I ask the
following question:
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When actors depart a series (e.g., Ray Smith or Mona Bruce in Sam or
Shelagh Delaney in AFAW), is it because the writer (with unusual influence, in
Mr. Finch’s case) decides it is dramatically appropriate OR did the actors
decide it was time to move on, and Mr. Finch accommodated them. Of course, it’s
routinely a combination of both. As John’s production families seemed (and I do
emphasize “seemed”) to be happy campers, I wonder which factor tended to be
operative—“You go because your usefulness will increase by your absence!” or
“Damn, Shelagh wants to go be in Star Wars! I need to kill her
character!”<BR><BR><BR></DIV>
