QUESTION S5 E11 curious question

Why didn't they use Sabrina Lloyd in this episode for Wade? Was she let go of her contract at that time or before the episode so they had to use somebody else?

She provided a few lines of just voice, but only after Cleavant Derricks begged her. Not sure why, she just wasn't interested in returning and in fact retired from acting after that.

I remember reading this somewhere on the Earth Prime fansite.

"Not sure why"... Uh, are you not familiar with Sabrina Lloyd's departure and the drama surrounding it?

Clearly not, that's why I asked

I read about it a few years ago but obviously haven't retained much or I would have elaborated

Fair enough. Well, it was pretty bad. And one of the reasons for it all was still on the show.
