Angela Lansbury and co-creator and producer Peter S. Fischer reportedly weren't particularly fond of one another, with numerous magazine articles documenting how overworked Lansbury was, and how she would insist on numerous revisions to her character. In fact, Lansbury was rumored to be ready to quit after her contract expired at the end of the fifth season, and the season-ending two-parter was supposed to be the series finale. When Lansbury decided at the last minute to come back after all (with much prodding from CBS, which desperately needed the hit show to stay on), Fischer had to re-write the entire script. For the final episode of the seventh season, Fischer (on his way out the door, while Lansbury had been promised the job of executive producer after a transition year under David Moessinger, with whom she also did not particularly get along) had two versions of the last scene filmed. In one version Jessica nods in agreement to Harry McGraw (Jerry Orbach)'s comment "And that's all she wrote", and one in which she winks at the audience to indicate she'll return.
