abruptly departed the ABC sitcom last year while still filming its ninth season.McLendon-Covey, 52, derided the 59-year-old actor as not wanting “to be there” on set to film scenes and suggested he would want to leave “mid-scene.” She shared her opinions in response to a tweet by freelance journalist Noel Murray, who suggested the series should either kill off Garlin’s character, family patriarch Murray Goldberg, or should get canceled entirely, rather than repurpose already-shot footage in an attempt to make scenes gel.“They should either cancel The Goldbergs or kill off Jeff Garlin’s character because the workarounds they’ve been using this season ain’t working,” Murray wrote, adding a clip of a wedding scene that appeared heavily edited.His tweet brought a sharp response from McLendon-Covey.“Thanks for the great suggestion Noel!” McLendon-Covey shaded right back before alluding to Garlin’s alleged disinterest appearing in the sitcom. “This season threw us for a loop because a.) it’s hard to incorporate someone who doesn’t want to be there and wants to leave mid-scene, and b.) we werent about to re-write the 2nd half of the season.”She concluded her retort: “We’re doing our best.”McLendon-Covey and ABC both declined to comment through representatives when contacted by The Post, which has also reached out for a statement from Garlin.Thanks for the great suggestion Noel! This season threw us for a loop because a.) it's hard to incorporate someone who doesn't want to be there and wants to leave mid-scene, and b.) we werent about to re-write the 2nd half of the season.
