    Topher was very vilified when he left that 70’s show before final season. Now we know he was the most stand up guy on the show.
    We all owe Topher a huge apology.

      Also, it shows that it pays to avoid peer pressure. He could have been one of the boys. But he knew better. That probably requires more restraint to go with the flow when everyone is doing the same thing.

      I always liked Eric when I was younger. Now that I’m older, when I re-watch any episode in the series, I identify more with Red. It’s a testament to Topher’s talent to capture this character and portray him so well that he evokes emotional investment, be it “Yay Eric.” or “Eric’s a smart ass.” Lol

  • @H.E.M.

    Topher talks about how he said no one was an actor before and that’s what makes it so funny and genuine. Like when you see everyone holding back their laugher and sometimes even breaking character in the background. Is great imo.

My favorite character on the show was the sister Lori but she hadn't been on for a while so when the audience had a chance to ask questions I asked where she was. I immediately saw some of the cast shoot their eyes over at me and I was given some vague answer by some guy, maybe the director. I had no idea until years later she had been struggling with addiction.

To go basically an entire season without your main character, regardless of the reason, is just something you can't unsee. Thankfully, they did have a hopeful finale for Eric and Donna, but the rest of that season was completely unnecessary to me. Still a great show though, with a great cast, no doubt about that
