During the show's third season in 1977, Phillips was arrested for disorderly conduct. Because of her drug and alcohol abuse, Phillips began arriving late and was even incoherent for rehearsals. The producers ordered her to take a six-week break to overcome her addiction but were ultimately forced to fire her in 1980. After two near-fatal overdoses, Phillips entered Fair Oaks Hospital voluntarily for treatment. In 1981, the producers of One Day at a Time invited her back to the show. However, in 1982, Phillips relapsed into cocaine use and the following year, she collapsed on the show's set. After refusing to take a drug test, she was fired permanently, and her character written out of the series. In 1992, Philips entered a drug rehab program for nine months.

Sorry, but I agree with Barbara. That show tended to make everything about Julie, and seldom on her. She had been the good girl, and here her sister who caused nothing but trouble has a great husband and child, and leaves them. My daughter was diagnosed with Bipolarism and never left her kids. Their father left all of them she had to stay and take care of them. This is simply what the writers thought sounded reasonable, so we wouldn't hate the character. But the story was the actress messed up, and they had to let her go. I am glad she got hold of it later on, but that is how it was.

The writers gave her far too harsh an exit. Trying to stick it to the actress by making her character seems heartless. This isn't the Julie that loved her baby so much that she wanted to give her the most peaceful birth possible. Also, her mother as written was an enabler, she should have been tougher with her and gotten her some therapy. Instead she just let her run off without giving Max a heads up. Lazy, shock writing designed to punish the actress. She still could have left him but arranged for visitation with her child off screen. A mess all around but the acting was first rate.

@millenniumman755 жыл бұрын
The random drug test was part of her fall 1981 return to the show. If they suspected at any time, they could force a test. She was clean until the 1982-1983 season, but it became apparent by the fifth episode of the final season (1983-1984). He last show was "Bedtime Story" when she wrote a bedtime story for Annie. It would have been really interesting to see what would have happened if Bonnie and Valerie had decided to continue the show for two more years like CBS wanted. This episode was filmed in early 1984, so they were down to the last 10 shows of the season at that point. You can tell it was hardest on Bonnie and Pat - They, along with Mackenzie, go all the way back to the April 1975 unaired pilot:"Three to Get Ready" that was retooled to "One Day at a Time". kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKTUqKmcgJ2nZ6s

They had a stipulation upon her 1981 return that she could be drug tested at any time. By September 1983, she had collapsed on the set (sleeping during rehearsals) and the producers approached her about a drug test. She said "don't bother" and walked out. She knew it was over. You are right in that CBS was actually willing to keep the show going another two years - until 1986, but Bonnie and Valerie jointly said that it was time to end it. Bonnie had encouraged Glenn Scarpelli to leave the show for NBC's "Jennifer Slept Here", a supporting role, because she knew it was coming to an end.

@ny giants fan raider fan They actually would have been or maybe Nick only. The issue was with Ann's bosses - Charles Siebert (Jerry Davenport) left to go to Trapper John, M.D. in Fall 1979....then they had to do something about John Hillerman (Claude Connors), as he left to do Magnum, P.I. in late 1980. They would either have had Connors & Davenport sold, or Ann promoted - not as likely given she was only there five years. Glenn did get additional roles on the Love Boat after Jennifer Slept Here was cancelled. He fell off the way many child stars did. When he left One Day in spring 1983, he was about to turn 17 playing a 15 year old.

Barbara / Valerie- NOW we see why Val was SO beloved at the time; earnest, lightly funny, concerned, but not experienced enough to 'get' why Julie pulled her stunt, believable, and might I add....she was just STUNNINGLY beautiful!! ....her hair texture, complexion, height, body type, just STUNNING! could've given Brooke Shields a run for her money at the time!! Mr Lembeck was in a ill-timed period in this show's history (new husband to a popular character, who instantly becomes 'unpopular', due to her questionable tactics), but he shows here why he wasn't removed....he's moved on QUITE professionally....we ALL know his directorial history....but MAN, he grew one HELL of a beard, then!! 🧔

@@gretchennelson9965 Unfortunately, she brought a lot of it on herself, but didn't completely understand herself either. She was facing a lot of issues - but the inability to define it and the fame made it all worse. That fifth season (1979-1980) was in total upheaval due to her issues. It had my favorite opening credit version with the Indianapolis backgrounds, but had to be redone in episode 5 without them to work through the Julie character (adding Max). After episode 12, she was suspended for six episodes (13-18) missing the New Year's Eve performance. She was ordered to go to rehab - but she admitted that she ended up going on vacation and getting her haircut instead. Episodes 19-20 "Retrospective" had her returning still with the drug problems. She would last two more episodes before being fired (Perils of Plastic was her last episode). The last five episodes had the opening credits redone again with her credit removed and ending with a lobby scene when Max slips and spill groceries. He would be written out at the end of the season. They brought Nanette Fabray in to help with some of the storylines. Season 6 (1980-1981) was down to three characters until the fifth episode when Ron Rifkin and Glenn Scarpelli join the cast.
