Final appearance in the series of Jean Hagen. It was officially stated that Hagen left to further her movie career, but it was actually due to friction between her and Thomas, who had never wanted her to be cast in the first place. He felt Hagen had a bad attitude and a slovenly appearance. When the series returned for Season 4, it was explained that Thomas was now a widower.
Jean left because she wanted to. Danny begged her to stay. She fulfilled her contract and left. Sherry Jackson begged to leave also, but Danny would not let her. He made her finish out her contract, which was for five years.
