Billy going to Aquitar the first time
 

Anyone find it wierd that they did the whole Aquitar Storyline with Billy in the same season that Yost quit abruptly. Billy was only really gone for a few episodes the first time. And there was no way they knew David Yost was going to walk off the set.

It was a pretty strange conciedence. I am not sure what they were thinking.

Re: Billy going to Aquitar the first time
 

It was almost like they were telling him he wasn't in the long term plans! But by all accounts we know it was his decision to walk out later on.

Re: Billy going to Aquitar the first time
 

Perhaps Yost needed some time off from filming?

Re: Billy going to Aquitar the first time
 

I always thought this was wkerd to. Of course at the time I thoughr they were really writing him off. Once he came bacm I fjgured I was wrong and was surprised when he left during the team up. Not knowing that David Yost quit the series abruptly.

Re: Billy going to Aquitar the first time
 

I thought it was a cool storyline. And it led to the Red Battlezord being invented. I ended up liking the second time he goes to Aquitar and the Alien Ranger team up.

Re: Billy going to Aquitar the first time
 

Perhaps Yost just took some time off or wasn't avaliable for the episodes in between?

Re: Billy going to Aquitar the first time
 

There had to be a time off issue. But it likely had nothing to do with the walk out. They were lucky they were able to go back and use this storyline to come up with a way to write Billy out. Not to mention had access to the Kukuranger/Ohranger team up.

Re: Billy going to Aquitar the first time
 

he probably just needed time off for personal reasons that's the only thing I can think of since he wasn't doing anything TV or movie-related at that point in time according to wikipedia oh wait there was a movie called "Scene of the Crime" that came out in '96 so perhaps that's why he took off?

more like not had access to the teamup but they were more willing to buy the rights for the footage.

Re: Billy going to Aquitar the first time
 

Saban Entertainment should have fought hard for Yost and tried to get him to come back.

Re: Billy going to Aquitar the first time
 

I would hope the people in power didn't know enough about the harassment he recieved. Just because I'd hate to think they would have condoned his behavior. But no one knows besides Yost and the others invovled.

Re: Billy going to Aquitar the first time
 

can't really do much if he was sick and tired of being harassed due to him being gay since he wasn't going to stay if they didn't do anything about the bullying.

yea I would imagine Haim wasn't aware of it since while he may be cheap I don't think he would've tolerated it.

Re: Billy going to Aquitar the first time
 

I would say it was the movie Yost worked on that forced him to take time off.

Its a shame Yost was treated so bad. Just for human decency. But for a lighter reason, so he could be Turbo Blue until the cast change.

Re: Billy going to Aquitar the first time
 

he wasn't going to be the Blue Turbo Ranger even if he was still around since Shuki would've still wanted Blake Foster (Justin) to be a Ranger.

Re: Billy going to Aquitar the first time
 

There was still so much to do with Billy. But the cast did totally change the next season.
