Belinda Montgomerys absence ?


Any idea why she is missing from the 2 final epsisodes, including her title sequence credit ? Contract dispute ? Fired ?

Nope, she is missing from both "Siren" and "Deadly Carnival." Both episodes feature a re-edited opening credit sequence which removes Belinda's name and image altogether. I doubt the producers would have gone through that much trouble unless they clearly intended for her to never return to the show. It must have been a rather sudden departure because the "Jenny Reynolds" character (performed by Lisa Blake Richards) is obviously wedged into the "Siren" episode to deliver lines originally intended for Belinda. Hopefully someone can shed some light on what happened behind the scenes to cause Belinda's departure.

No, the "Jenny Reynolds" character does not appear in "Deadly Carnival." Matter of fact, none of the series regulars appear in that episode except Duffy as Mark Harris, and Alan Fudge as C.W. Crawford.
