Oh, I understand perfectly.  I really have no problems at all with the
actors leaving the show as they are people trying to earn a living just
like everyone else.  I wish them the best of success, whether they 
remain with The Lost World or not.  I was just curious if they'd given
a reason for doing so.  I understand if they wish to keep their reasons
private.  Besides, it's pretty obvious that the near cancellation of the
series is the likely cause.

If anything, I'm saddened by how the character departures will effect the
show.  I'd already emotionally invested myself in the Summerlee character
and was disappointed when was written out of the show.  The loss of 
both Malone and Veronica is an even bigger blow because these characters
have been around longer and have even more story.

With the loss of so many characters, the show is seeming less and less 
like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's version, eh?

Maybe so, but I figure that since most actors in Hollywood *never* get a
successful series, they'd be grateful for the steady paycheck.  Still,
I'm
sure that spending more than half a year working in another country and
away from family and friends is a contributor too to the "emotional
rollercoaster" of which you speak.

I do understand and accept Orth and O'Dell's reasons for leaving the
show.  Best of luck to them.

Thanks, Michael, for your response.
