Alice
. Even after Holliday left and her Spin-Off, Flo, ended after one season, she refused to make any guest appearances. Diane Ladd also had difficulties with Lavin and cited that as the reason she left the series after only a year. -

Lavin was fine as Alice and I used to love the show. She was boosted by the support characters and in all due respect, it wouldn't be easy for anyone to step into Ellen Burstyn's shoes.
Norman! What did you put in my tea?
