Actors Who Came Crawling Back To The TV Shows They Left 

How could you miss Patrick Duffy of Dallas? Bobby Ewinng dies, they have a whole season without him, only to have him return and explain his absence as his wife's dream!

Don't forget Lauren Cohan from The Walking Dead. Left to do a spy show on ABC then went back to TWD after it was cancelled.

Both Lecy Goranson and Sarah Chalke returned for the reboot of Roseanne/the Conners. Lecy came back as Becky and Sarah came back as a woman who wanted Becky to be a surrogate for her. There were lots of great one liners about them both being back.

David Duchovny and Chris Melonie were asked to come back to their characters.

that’s a crazy title😂

Terrible, misleading click bait of a title. Gates McFadden never voluntarily left Star Trek and she was persuaded by Patrick Stewart and producers to rejoin the cast.

You do know that to "come crawling back" is supposed to mean "begged to be back", right? Most of these aren´t that. 😒

Michael Shanks left Stargate SG-1 for 1 season in the middle of its 10 year run and they took in Corin Nemec to replace him but when Shanks wanted back after 1 season away Nemec got the boot!

Michael Shanks as Daniel in Stargate SG1. Left the show during Season 6

John Schneider (Jonathan Kent from Smallville) was killed off in Season 5 due to leaving the show. However the creators kept bringing him back any chance they got.

Crawling? Not so much

Crawling back?? Damn harsh words for a fckn RU-vidr

Where is the crawling back part. It seems like some left on good terms and came back. Please stop this click bait

Some leave because they think they can do better. Some do and some don't make it big, so those that don't come back crawling.

How many of these were because they rarely got any more roles?

Next to Deanne, Beverly was my next favorite actor on 'next-generation'.

No Lisa Bonet

I read that Mike Evans actually left the show the Jefferson’s for good times. He based it off his life and ran it for the first couple of season as writer/creator.

What about Lauren Cohan? She left In season 9 of the walking dead because of a pay issue to do her own show but came back at the end of the next season when her show flopped

thank you 👍❤👍

Meloni left LO:SVU to be a big star- and couldn't find an acting role where his character didn't get Sodomized. LOL. Not he's "Back" on LO- and still getting Sodomized by the female actors in both series.

Lauren cohan walking dead ?

Wrong title, many wasn't leaving and 'crawling' back. Gates McFadden, Paget Brewster was fired and asked to come back

I still wish they had made more the x files . here in Brazil the ER only broadcasted in cable TV . and thanks for tellimg us all that . i didnt knew many of this things .im so sad that Saturday night live it has never been broadcasted at all here NEVER ... Thats the problem with Brazil they don't give us many opportunity to see many things ... Only by what we can see online

Ridiculous Title!!!! Shameful!!! None of them came "crawling" back... They just returned...

Denise Crosby quir ST:TNG as Yar, came back as her sister.

How can you have this sort of segment and NOT include probably the most famous return ever in Bo and Luke Duke from The Dukes of Hazzard? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Maggie Roswell call like Maggie simpson. 4:25

Did they "come crawling back?" Kind of a degrading characterization. No?

Well I heard a different story, he left because his wife didn't like the rain living in Vancouver B.C. Canada😢😂😭⚡☔💧🌧️⛈️🌦️

no stargate

X Files wasn't a damn comedy. 🤣

A complete and utter lie to say that David Duchovny came crawling back to The X-Files. This is either ignorance or deliberate lies.

A mi me gustó las escenas de desnudo de christopher meloni

I'm not a fan of Gates McFadden's acting. I don't think she's very good.
