    <p>Talking about cast members leaving and having to amend the script
      accordingly, I seem to remember when Margaret Porter became
      pregnant it was reported that it was because she was pregnant in
      real life.  I may have this wrong since I was 13 years old at the
      time.  If it was the case, it worked well, because it was typical
      of the time and situation.</p>

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

        Varies. Mostly dramatically appropriate. Ray Smith asked to
        leave as he was afraid of becoming typecast. We would gladly
        have kept him.Shelagh Fraser's departure was dramatically
        appropriate, as were most of the departures. There were casting
        errors, but they were few. JF
