More Super Megaforce Casting News - David Yost, Sally Martin, More

TokuChris · 05-11-2013, 11:29 AM

Over the course of the last 8 hours there have been more cast updates about the upcoming anniversary season of Power Rangers Super Megaforce. For starters, we'll continue with the most famous of the franchise, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

David Yost, who played Billy the Blue Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, has tweeted that he chose not to go back to Power Rangers.

Megaforce=No 4 me. They lost me when the offer started "Dear Power Ranger" & had several grammatical errors. #donewithabusiverelationships

Through our good friend Fury Diamond of RangerCrew.com, we've also learned that Sally Martin, who played Tori the Blue Wind Ranger in Power Rangers Ninja Storm, as well as Melanie Vellajo, who played Madison the Blue Ranger in Power Rangers Mystic Force, did not receive invites to appear as a cameo. Fury Diamond confirms it in this tweet here.

And finally, Dan Ewing, Dillon the Black Ranger from Power Rangers RPM, let his fans know that he did not receive an invite either.

UPDATE: Not that this comes as any surprise, but Mr. Yellow was able to discover that none of the Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers were invited to attend. Check out the info by clicking here.

UPDATE #2: Caitlin Murphy, who played Ronny the Yellow Ranger in Power Rangers Operation Ovedrive, received an invite BEFORE the "mass E-mail" sent out by Saban Brands, but has never heard back from production.

We've updated our comprehensive list of actors returning and not returning for Super Megaforce. What are your thoughts on the latest developments for casting?

Even without Saban's backwards ass way of asking these people back I can COMPLETELY understand why David Yost doesn't want to come back. He was treated terribly on the set of Mighty Morphin and Zeo which eventually led to him leaving the show. No one should have any problem with him rejecting the offer. Especially if you take into the scraps that Saban is offering for these actors to return.

Man, at this point it's starting to look like Tommy Oliver's lone stand against the Zangyaku army.

I feel bad for both David Yost and Erin Cahill, as I truly believe that both of them would have wanted to come back under the right conditions. Erin can't because of SAG and union rules, and while I'm not sure if David is SAG as well, I'm sure he has a bitter taste in his mouth and getting a generic invite as opposed to a phone call is probably an easy pass for him.

Steve Cardenas and Karan Ashley I can understand, but I think both should have worded it differently. Both their statements come off as "I would love to do it, but Saban didn't offer me enough money for xyz, you should blame Saban for being cheap".

No Dan Ewing? Fuck it im done.

They actually TRIED to get Yost back?

On one level that's admirable. On the logical side it seems pretty stupid of them to think he would want to return.

He received the generic E-mail like most of the others did.

If you count a generic email labeled "Dear Power Ranger" as actually trying.

The more news we get of past actors and actresses either not getting an invite or turning it down due to the pocket money they'd be getting in return, the worse Saban looks.

For an anniversary season that was supposed to be "Their most expensive season yet", this is looking utterly horrible.

Yeah, it's kinda running neck and neck with Doctor Who's 50th anniversary for being one letdown after another.

I'm certainly open to being pleasantly surprised by some bit of news here, but this hasn't been a good week for that, it seems.
