Cast change


Does anyone know why the cast went throught the changes it did. Two of the character were gone replaced by another.

The upper level producers and network people thought the show would get higher ratings without the "supernatural-mystic" aspects and without the sensitive interractions between Marcase and Shiroma. Clearly they were wrong.
Coleman Luck was not happy about any of it but he was philosphical as nonsense like that happens in Hollywood all the time.

Thank you,figures the uppers would do that.

I watch burning zone due to Marcase and Kimberly, that is why I stopped watching when they left Burning Zone after episode 13.

Here's my 2 cents about why they left the show.

I remember reading that both Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Tamlyn Tomita were promised and expected a significant pay raise if The Burning Zone was picked-up for the 2nd season. They agreed to work at a lower salary than what they wanted for the first season.

They left the show when the producers couldn't get the network to give them more money as they promised. Typical Hollywood BS that actors have to deal with.

I don't remember the source of my info (circa 1997), but I was really curious why they left and found an article that mentioned Tamlyn's reason for leaving.

Actually JDM was asked and he said TPTB fired Tomita. I don't remember why. He went to bat for her to get TPTB to rehire her and they fired him for it.
