Bishop noted, "A new writing team was brought in for the seventh season, and I know they tried their best, but there's no such thing as trying to be Amy Sherman-Palladino. We actors were contractually obligated for that seventh season, and we did the best we could." This speaks to the challenges faced by the cast and crew when the original creators were not involved.
Recalling the change in show dynamics, Bishop felt, "It just seemed to get kind of sleepy and tired from one week to the next, as if the air was being slowly let out of a big, sparkly balloon, and we could sense that the party might be ending, even though no one wanted to say it out loud." This reflects the impact of losing the core creative influence.
Kelly Bishop shared her admiration for co-stars, stating, "Alexis and I rarely hung out during our off-hours, but I thought the world of her; and Lauren and I hung out a lot and had even started referring to each other as 'TVM' (TV Mom) and 'TVD' (TV Daughter)." This highlights the personal connections forged during the show's run.
