justinpcoltrane Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I started season 5 not too long ago and I've noticed that Cooter is missing from several episodes in the early middle of the season. He is explained to be on vacation but why was Ben Jones not present for filming? Skipper Duke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinpcoltrane Posted March 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) It seems weird because in one he's not even mentioned, although he remains in the credits.

Roth Potter Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Well, maybe the episode writer didn't write him into the story for that episode. Skipper Duke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinpcoltrane Posted March 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 That could be possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossC Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I had a quick look in Ben Jones's 'Redneck Boy in the Promised Land' and 'The Dukes of Hazzard: The Unofficial Companion', but I didn't find any explanation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobie Hartkins Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I think it was some kind of argument. He got into it with the producers about wearing a beard or something like that and he held out....just like John and Tom did when they were getting ripped off out of their share of merchandise commissions. ( That's when we were introduced to Coy and Vance) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinpcoltrane Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 The beard incident was in season 2 because it was around the same time as James Best's contract dispute. Skipper Duke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobie Hartkins Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Yea but I think it was an on going thing.....it finally blew up and he left and then came all his cousins, BB, LB...etc. ...it became a joke really...then they finally decided obviously, that they needed him and got him back.
