Timothy Busfield had a short-lived show set in Hawaii, and then some directing projects. And I hate that they didn't (that I know of) resolve the Danny/C.J storyline.

And Mandy was just blah. She went into private lobbying and sort of fizzled. Also, Martin Sheen wasn't supposed to have such a large presense, but was absolutely electrifying, so they gave him a bigger part. Somebody had to go....too many players?
