Power Ranger's Writers

There has always been that type of thing in Power rangers. Sicne most of the time they don;t get all the Dentai footage until after filming has started. That has become more of a problem for the past 15 years.

In the ealry years they did have to be pretty creative. Since Austin ST John, , Thuy Trang, and Walter Jones walked out . They were pretty creative in how they bought time until they could get the replacements in. They uses a lot of clever editing to make it appear like Jason, Trini, and Zack we're still around.

They had another problem during Zeo when David Yost walked out of the set. Luckly, they just did the Billy aging plot to write him out.

Another quick write off happened during Lost Galaxy. where Valerie Vernon, discovered she had leukemia during filming. They had to write Kendrix out for Karone. Until Varone could come back. Luckly she ended up being ok.

If Saban had been able to pay its actors better during MMPR season 2, perhaps the cast would have stayed together longer. But no one was really the bad guy. The original actors signed contracts ahead of time. The problem was no one expected the show to become so big. The original actors had an unbelievable schedule for lower the usual pay . Since the show was non union at that point ( didn't go union until Space and was no longer union after Wild Force).. Thuy, Austin, and Walter just got bad advice from their agent to walk out. I think it was pretty inevitable that the orginals would have broken up sooner or later. I don't see them lasting more then a few seasons without cast changes.
