Julia Duffy complained about being mistreated on the set. At one point, allegedly, one of the cast members flat out confronted her about why she would join a show when they gave her such an unlikeable character. Julia Duffy quit after one season; and the Orlando Sentinel wrote an article about her departure in 1992:" Duffy joined the show last fall as the whiny, snobbish Allison Sugarbaker. Bloodworth-Thomason said Duffy "did a spectacular job in a very difficult role. If it didn't work out, it was our fault, not hers. She pedaled that bike as hard as she could. However, the network didn't feel the chemistry was right and asked that she be released from her role." Said Duffy: "Since the character of Allison was so poorly developed, I'm not surprised or dismayed at the producers' decision to do without her next season."' Later Entertainment Tonight did a retrospective on the series; and the show's stars further commented on Duffy's departure: " ANNIE: When Julia Duffy came in, I think they made a mistake with that character. I think they made a character that wasn't very likable. I think that tarnished the show. Julia Duffy left after her first season. JULIA DUFFY: It was just something that seemed to be for the best, at the end. There was only one season after that, but it certainly was not the easiest job that anyone ever had on that set, so the one year was plenty."
