Jason Priestley

When Jason Priestly was cast to play Brandon in Beverly Hills, 90210, he became an instant heartthrob. For eight years, he managed to impress the viewers with his knack for adapting to the silly plotlines of the show. By 1998, he decided that it was time to go. “I felt that the character of Brandon had kind of run his course. I had explored everything I wanted to explore with him,” he said. He went on, “I do regret leaving. Understanding what I do now about story and character, I believe that Brandon and Kelly would have ended up together at the end of the show and I think I should have stuck around to its fruition.”

Lisa Bonet

If you watched The Cosby Show and A Different World, you might remember Lisa Bonet in the role of the bright-eyed Denise. She was a fan favorite on the show, which is why a lot of people were shocked to see her leave in 1991. Some people assumed that it was her decision since she had been pregnant with her daughter at the time. However, the actress actually tried to look for a way to remain on the show. Debbie Allen said that Bill Cosby did not want her character to fall pregnant, which is why Lisa accepted that she had to leave the show that had been a part of her life for so long.
