at the end of the series Gilbert's mother begged to not have her daughter do creepy scenes with an older man. The plot was 'child bride'
then Landon had the set burned down in the last episode to make sure that no further episodes of production would happen on that set (what evidence was also burned).
Sadly this stuff was typical to holywood of that era.
So many very bad productions can only be explained by 'casting couch'.
I remember hearing years and years ago that the 'refusnicks' who were living in Brookline for free would all get very very expensive orthopedic shoes paid for by the government because their doctors told them they needed them . . . imagine that.
Did I hear that they 'all' got it or that some of them would? Maybe they weren't all fraudsters.
so sick headed shills, there are.
