Cast members Beverley Mitchell, David Gallagher and Mackenzie Rosman weren’t afraid to share their thoughts on their former co-star Stephen Collins during a rewatch episode of the “Catching Up with the Camdens” podcast on Monday.
“We do not excuse or condone his behavior,” said Mitchell, who starred as Lucy Camden on the show. “Our hope for this podcast is to reconnect with you, our fans, to relive some 90s nostalgia and to share our fondest memories of ‘7th Heaven.’”
Gallagher and Rosman — who played Simon and Ruthie respectively — were the two youngest members of the Camden clan in the pilot season.
The trio added that they “did not have any inappropriate experiences” with Collins.
“All forms of abuse, sexual abuse of any kind, it’s inexcusable and victims of abuse need to be shown compassion and they should be given support,” Gallagher said.
Mitchell added that their former co-star will not be joining them on the podcast.
They acknowledged rewatching an episode involving an admitted child molester can be “triggering” to fans and they hope people will keep tuning in.
