They are in the same position as the Cosby kids. It must be weird for them. In one hand the show meant a lot for the ones that grew up with it and on the other the main actor of the show tainted it’s legacy.
Anyone with common sense knows that, but there are too many people who lack that. If they didn’t speak out, people would make up a narrative or say they knew or that not speaking out is being complicit
They jus want to clear that up and be on about the series of 7th heaven.. it's an adult thing to do then jus say nothing because then there is something to hide and they where all kids on the set...
@@Kirra2122 I mean because of the fact that people were in the comments of their podcast saying “so we’re just not going to address it” pretty much making it their responsibility to when they shouldn’t have to
They wanted to clear it up because regardless of Stephen doing what he did, he was part of the show and part of their lives, so it would’ve been impossible for Bev, David, and Mackenzie to not talk about Stephen you know? :)
Problem is the show is tainted in that respect so are they and its not their fault ... they themselves said since he is so influential within it its an inescapable label to have on them as the show. Which aged horribly trough that.
Why are people always shocked to see that someone as an adult looks similar to how they were as a kid just older. Like obviously they're the same person of course they look the same.
I loved 7th Heaven so much. Watching episodes years later, a lot of it really held up (not all of it LOL). But generally, the emphasis on community and family, and helping your neighbor - so good!
I feel like this was how the entire series existed. It was a weekly family tv night for us and a great way to address some delicate topics openly with the kids.
That must be such a difficult position for them. I can’t imagine what it’s like having these good memories of a person you’ve known and worked with for years and then you find out they did something horrible.
Mackenzie will always remain Ruthie forever. She even has the same attitude as sassy teenage Ruthie who grew up before our eyes. I can't believe she's a mom herself. I'm so old.
I loved it at the time too but looking back as an adults lets be honest its not realistic even Catherine Hicks who was Annie Camden said she would get frustrated that everything was so sugar coated and they could never even raise their voices to the kids. LOL
Now I know why I'm getting so many recommendations of the show and its reruns on UA-cam Free With Ads. But it is a good thing that the child star cast members weren't victims of his abuse and inappropriate behavior but my heart goes out to those whom were the most. I hope everyone is getting by just fine through all of this
Yeah the parents were always on the set and he was smart enough not to go there and these allegations that he admitted to seemed to have not been recent during the show if I remember correct
the show was cute as a kid but its not real no family is that perfect The Bundy's were more real to life LOL they had issues but when the chips were down they were there for each other and the kids and how many times did AL defend Kelly when some guy broke her heart a lot! LOL
One person's actions can tarnish an entire show and put the entire cast in an awkward position they never asked to be in. At the same time, this was their life and doing a rewatch, there is nothing wrong with that. Sad they had to address it tho, cause they knew there would be backlash.
I just relocated to a new state. It has been two months and I still have not found a job. When I pray, I hear God say to trust me. Mentally it is hard because I never not worked before and I know that is due to Gods grace and favor. It has been a spiritual war mentally. Please pray for me as I pray saints. I pray for God covering in all of us and everyone receives what they need to help them in their walk with Christ. Peace and blessings to everyone !!
Nothing worth doing is easy and These are some lyrics to a song I think may help you the song is called Through The Fire this only the middle of it but it fits . He Never Promised that the Cross would not get heavy or the hill would not hard to climb he never offered our victories without fighting. But he said help would always come in time . Just remember when you're standing in the valley of decision and the adversary says give in , just hold on our Lord will show up and he will take you Through The Fire Again!
They should not have to speak they were children they did nothing this is him off the show these are his sins to answer for not theirs. kinda makes me sad they felt they had to defend themselves but good on them for speaking for victims shows maturity most adults twice their ages do not possess
@SarahJoDannetteGosa I think we are in an agreement yes they don't have to speak up, but since they did on their own free will, especially with some of them being parents now what a blessing they did that and together in communion. It keeps us remembering the truth of the real man he was and not the character he played.
I agree. This is similar to the situation going on with the Talkville podcast with Allison. Mack having been such a huge part of Smallville. They can still rewatch Smallville and talk about it without condoning her crimes and while separating the art from the artist.
thank you david! nice see all of you. i do rember when your show 7th heaven on i wrote in ask for free photo all of you nicely sign so thankyou for that.
Can we still enjoy the show the same way we used to? I loved 7th Heaven as a kid, teenager, and young adult. I feel like I can still re-watch this show while separating the character from the actor.
7th heaven is one of mine and my sister’s favourite shows but I don’t want to tell her about Stephen because it’s too close to home and it may ruin it for her forever
That's the first thing I thought of when the show got pulled from reruns. However it's not just them that lost out on royalties. Pulling the show had a domino effect because all of the writers, directors, and producers lost out as well as did their agents, managers and their staffs, and so many more people.
@@justniquol8972 i feel like they should be able to keep stephens royalties somehow? Just like the Cosby show, it’s not fair that they all lost out on all of their hard work
@@angusanderson4117 Yes I know he did, but that shouldn't erase anything he was in all those years. The rest of the cast shouldn't have to suffer the penalty.
I am glad they addressed it. I see it as 7th have is a nostalgic show with one Actor who has inexcusable actions but this doesn't take swsy from the rest of the cast likely being great people and just wanting to share memories of the show with the world .
Kinda disgusting if you think about how he was on ‘Its always sunny’ as a philanthropist, adopting children in Africa, holding charity events , singing songs about “saving the children” 💀 He’s in a whole different light now.
@austinkahle You don't have to pay an actor for mentioning their character. If they didn't act and didn't work then they can kill you off without an issue.
We were told about this many years ago. However, until now we never heard about how the cast felt about it and I quite honestly was worried some of them may have been abused by him too
Actors who worked in tandem with people who we now know as predators now today, shouldn’t need to put disclaimers on their past jobs of what they saw and what they didn’t. The ownus is not on them. Also…… they were kids at the time at least 2 were, they had no business knowing that at the time.
Why should they though? The actor messed up but it has NOTHING to do with them or the show. They were kids first of all and the podcast is innocent, they tell stories from the show, funny memories, interesting facts... Ppl need to take a chill pill and move on
This is his issue not theirs. He’s the only one who has to answer for it. I will give him credit which usually I wouldn’t do for people in his situation but he at least did acknowledge he has a problem and he turned himself in so he wouldn’t hurt anymore people.
His exwife knew about it she exposed him out of revenge, she recorded one of his therapy session and send it to tabloids when he asked for divorce. She should have told this to people sooner but only did this out of revenge not because she wanted to do the right thing
No she didn’t, they were having therapy (she was recording the sessions) and that’s when he admitted to it, her lawyer advised her to give it to the authorities which she did and then she filed for divorce later that year. Stop making out she was a deviant who knew because she didn’t and she did the right thing.
I’m glad they did it this way and yes it’s Ganna be some times they have to talk or have good memories with him, they acknowledged his wrongs and they also can say about all the other memories, they may have with him
0:58 the actress who played Ruthie unintentionally, or intentionally made a great point here. Hollywood for a long time painted an unrealistic picture of what it’s like to have kids.
I actually cried when i found out what he did. Like many kids hecand Danny tanner were my tv dads yiu know. My birth father was abusive so yeah it was a hard hit and now i cant even watch the show because if him and thats sad cause i loved all of them. Im glad they have the pid cast so at least we csn still see them
0:30 I don't recall this programme ever being shown on British TV, but can someone tell me how it is that a dark-skinned actress gets cast with two white "siblings"? Was she meant to be adopted on that show? Also, I remember the paedophile (being discussed on this video) from the early 80s programme _Tales of the Gold Monkey._ He owned and flew a plane called Cutter's Goose. This may have been 41 years ago but I remember it vividly. Also, his cutie real-life wife acted in the 1990 film _Internal Affairs_ with Andy Garcia and Laurie Metcalfe.
Wait who is darkskin? Mackenzie might have mixed ancestry based on some of her features but calling her "darkskin" is inaccurate. I have also seen white italians who look just like her so who knows.
I just hope as they go about the podcast they don’t speak of memories of that despicable excuse for a man in a positive or lighthearted way and that they continue to recognize his evil.
I gotta say what no one else seems to want to say. The man is deeply remorseful and is willingly admitting to what he did. That says more than MOST people would do. You could tell, during the interview, while he was telling the story; that it has haunted him all these years. If that wasn't true, surely there would have been some incident during the making of 7th Heaven. Yet, by admission in this video, nothing did happen. And what about his ex wife recording private and confidential counselling sessions? Why is no one talking about how awful and cruel that is? HUH? She only did that to "blackmail" him. Has she ever once publicly apologized for being a b!tc#? HUH? It appears to me that he has more than paid for what he did. I was younger than 10 when I was first touched. And several more times throughout my adolescence and teenage years. And you know what? If any one of them apologized and said, "I'm sorry", I would totally forgive them (I do forgive them anyway). Just as Jesus forgave me of my sins. Oh well.
Was it from your stepdad or from your mom's boyfriends? My ex is exposing her boyfriend to my daughter and I know what's going to happen before it happens
I loved this show. They were like family friends. Stephens gross behavior has nothing to do with the other cast and crew. I follow some of them on social media. Just seem like nice people.
I love 7th heaven I grew up on it sad to hear what Stephen Collins did and I always loved him on there so sad to hear about what happened I think the fact that he was truthful and came out hopefully hope he can understand what he did was wrong and why it was wrong from what I learned abuse of any kind is a cycle what's my guess is that Stephen was touch when he was younger and instead of talking to someone about it he started doing what he thought was appropriate because it was done to him. would love to see the 7th heaven podcast
As a victim of extensive sexual abuse in my childhood, I do have to give him credit for one thing. He admitted to doing it. I know for a fact those who abused me will deny it until the day they die.
Did not recognize David with the beard but once I did, he really hasn’t changed much - just the beard, which thru me off for a min 😂. Anyways I hope they can still look back at the happy memories and moments despite what Stephen did. And I get why they would clear the air for this podcast. They wouldn’t want the speculations and assumptions to take over something meant to be fun. While they had no issues with him, they would have fond memories of him and they MAY talk about those good memories.
I met Beverly at some meet and greet here in Texas back in 2007, I drove 45 min to see her lol. She was so beautiful in person, had a crush for months.

Sadly, the statute of limitations ran out. I agree that he needs to be locked up, though.

This may have been 41 years ago but I remember it vividly. Also, his cutie real-life wife acted in the 1990 film _Internal Affairs_ with Andy Garcia and Laurie Metcalfe.
Wait who is darkskin? Mackenzie might have mixed ancestry based on some of her features but calling her "darkskin" is inaccurate. I have also seen white italians who look just like her so who knows.
The show was fake all around. None of the siblings looked alike whatsoever.
It was garbage, low budget television shown on a third rate network.
I just hope as they go about the podcast they don’t speak of memories of that despicable excuse for a man in a positive or lighthearted way and that they continue to recognize his evil.
I gotta say what no one else seems to want to say.
The man is deeply remorseful and is willingly admitting to what he did. That says more than MOST people would do. You could tell, during the interview, while he was telling the story; that it has haunted him all these years.
If that wasn't true, surely there would have been some incident during the making of 7th Heaven. Yet, by admission in this video, nothing did happen.
And what about his ex wife recording private and confidential counselling sessions? Why is no one talking about how awful and cruel that is? HUH? She only did that to "blackmail" him. Has she ever once publicly apologized for being a b!tc#? HUH?
It appears to me that he has more than paid for what he did.
I was younger than 10 when I was first touched. And several more times throughout my adolescence and teenage years. And you know what? If any one of them apologized and said, "I'm sorry", I would totally forgive them (I do forgive them anyway). Just as Jesus forgave me of my sins.
Oh well.
Was it from your stepdad or from your mom's boyfriends? My ex is exposing her boyfriend to my daughter and I know what's going to happen before it happens
I loved this show. They were like family friends. Stephens gross behavior has nothing to do with the other cast and crew. I follow some of them on social media. Just seem like nice people.
Ruthie, Simon, & Lucy the nostalgia.
I loved 7th Heaven as a kid it was a great show!
I actually wanted to rewatch 7th heaven again after hearing this I’m completely put off
I always had a weird vibe when I would watch him.... now I know why.
I really hope Jessica does make an appearance. That would be so cool!
When I did have cable as a child this was my show
They aged well. Simon looks different clealry, but he also looks good. Aged well.
I love 7th heaven I grew up on it sad to hear what Stephen Collins did and I always loved him on there so sad to hear about what happened I think the fact that he was truthful and came out hopefully hope he can understand what he did was wrong and why it was wrong from what I learned abuse of any kind is a cycle what's my guess is that Stephen was touch when he was younger and instead of talking to someone about it he started doing what he thought was appropriate because it was done to him. would love to see the 7th heaven podcast
As a victim of extensive sexual abuse in my childhood, I do have to give him credit for one thing. He admitted to doing it. I know for a fact those who abused me will deny it until the day they die.
Did not recognize David with the beard but once I did, he really hasn’t changed much - just the beard, which thru me off for a min 😂. Anyways I hope they can still look back at the happy memories and moments despite what Stephen did. And I get why they would clear the air for this podcast. They wouldn’t want the speculations and assumptions to take over something meant to be fun. While they had no issues with him, they would have fond memories of him and they MAY talk about those good memories.
I Love each & every one of you. It gave me a "Family" time watching you. Thank you for the things that you shared over the years.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Then why did Beverley Mitchel make a post for fathersday on her IG right after it came out what he did?
It occurs to me that when a freak acts in this despicable way, the damage it causes is like ripples on a pond.
Nooo. Why are people that shaped my childhood destroying it with more and more scandalous revelations.
Stephen did a lot more than exposing himself 🤢
Didn’t this come out YEARS ago? Nothing was said then…They have something to say now that they have a podcast together and it will come up. Right
Wow Mackenzie and Beverly have barely aged since 2007 😄 Beverly is still smoking hot 😄
@JacklostYedmore Mackenzie was my crush since the show debuted in 1996
I met Beverly at some meet and greet here in Texas back in 2007, I drove 45 min to see her lol. She was so beautiful in person, had a crush for months.
Theme song in my head
And yet he walks free....
Ruthie being older than me still screws with my head
