This past weekend this actor (#1) officially returned as a guest for this rebooted show (#2). The fans loved it. But behind the scenes? Not so smooth. Word is, our actor's wife (#3) wasn’t thrilled about him rejoining the universe. Why? An actress (#4). Yep, that old rumor. The alleged affair is still stirring up talk.
Apparently, the situationship with the actor and actress is why the original show was canceled. After the show’s streaming numbers spiked during the pandemic, there was a serious interest in reviving it. Despite the creator (#5), pushing for a comeback, it quickly became clear: The actor and actress weren’t going to return to play a married couple onscreen. Our actor has repeatedly said he took a break from acting to focus on being a father and husband, but the real reason? Well, it’s tied up in his complicated situation with the actress. So, a spin-off was the only way to keep the show going.
#1 agreed to come back briefly, requesting no scenes with #4.
Also, part of the reason #1 chose to return was timing, it aligned perfectly with his latest business move: promoting the whiskey brand (#6) he’s now partnered with. After five years out of the spotlight, this comeback feels less like a passion project and more like strategic product placement.
Since the original show ended, the only time #1 and #4 have been seen together was at last year’s Golden Globes. #1 brought his mom instead of his wife, and both he and #4 were the only ones from the cast who showed up solo. He avoided photos with her, stayed close to a different former co-star (#7), and left right after the ceremony, skipping all the after-parties.
#4 and #7 launched a rewatch podcast last year, you’d think #1 might’ve popped in for an episode, especially now that he’s been in L.A. filming, but nope. Not once.
