The funny thing is that during the last season or so, they literally hated each other. I heard that Gary Coleman actually slapped Todd Bridges, and Todd had to be held back from seriously hurting Gary. You notice that in the last season, Todd was there less and less. He said that Gary Coleman was behind them cutting his screen time, because of their altercation. He said that they never spoke to each other again, until a few months before Gary died.
@@harrypotter_clips Yeah...I was very surprised to hear that there was that kind of animosity between the two of them, but at least they had a chance to make amends shortly before Gary's death.
@@Perfectpearl Yeah, but after John Amos left that show, the ratings fell significantly, and they fell even more after Esther Rolle walked away, and was begged to return in order to save the show, so everyone had a part to play there. I don't know if John was jealous, or if he just didn't like how they had Jimmy Walker acting. I know that's why Esther left, because she said that's why she did.
Whoa Gary Coleman looked thin and really unwell in season 5. Maybe that’s when he had the kidney transplant that went bad and was getting dialysis multiple times a day.
