While Paul Stoddard had to go to that great gothic manorhouse in the sky (in order to go and do a movie), it was a shame they decided that he had to make the final exit. I'm surprised they didn't think that maybe he'd come back when things slowed down on the movie lots to continue his character, and thus do what they always do with somebody when there's a chance they could return: ship 'em off to Wyndcliffe. ...............somewhat of a SPOILER here................ Even with our beloved TLATKLS, it was never a for-sure thing that she wouldn't be back after getting married and sailing across the Atlantic on the S.S. France to Paris with her husband. She even thought that eventually she would, so sweet Maggie was sent packing to Wyndcliffe. Of course, the series did not outlast her stay at Bonkers Hotel (or her and her husband's life in Paris).
