After reading about the allegations that Nicole Eggert and Alexander Polinsky made about Scott Baio recently about his supposed misconduct on set, I started to wonder what or how much Sandra Kerns knows about the matter?
I know that I'm clearly speculating without any real evidence, but one has to wonder if Sandra was in reality, pushed out because she got on Scott Baio's bad side to so speak. I believe that Scott did wield a lot of creative influence on Charles in Charge, at least in the syndication run, given that he frequently directed as well as being the star.
Charlie Sheen many years later, got Selma Blair fired from Anger Management for reportedly calling out his work ethic, so it can be to want to believe that Sandra saw or said something about Scott's own on-set antics that led to her role on the series being severely diminished in the last two years.
So the whole, "She wants to spend time with her family" excuse could naturally be some sort of cover. Pardon my ignorance, but is a multi-camera half hour sitcom really that "time-consuming" (unless it's in more unique cases like ALF, but that's another story) compared to say, a single camera sitcom or a one-hour drama? Especially since Sandra Kerns wasn't exactly the main "focal point" and in theory, had to be in very single scene per episode.
But on the same token, Mrs. Powell, was still very important to the series considering that she was essentially, Charles' boss. I wonder if anybody has ever asked Nicole Eggert, Josie Davis, and Alexander Polinsky about why their "mom" was virtually absent (save for roughly three to four guest appearances) for the final two seasons of their show.
