margie probably disappeared in the show because the actress had either got a offer in another t.v show or she couldn't do the role anymore, either way they wanted to make her departure special but clearly it made people question the show and what it stands for.
I very much agree with Emily and Hunter, they were my favorite couple, they deserved much more, they could have gotten more out of him like they did with Jiley. I never understood why they didn't get them together again. 💔😭
