Here is that famous GMA event where Patrick Stewart had a complete meltdown on set. The TNG crew were filming the fifth season episode Cost of Living. Paramount forced the crew to promote the show via a live feed. Stewart blew up when he saw the goofy weatherman dress in his uniform doing interviews. He walked off the set. That’s the reason why you don’t see him in the crew interview. I get it. These fluff pieces are necessary for normal boomers to get into your show. This incident made the rumor rags and behind-the-scenes book.
Did GMA know about the blow-up with Stewart? I usually agree with Stewart on many things, but he should have taken a few minutes to cool off and suck it up. This is me saying it in my 40s now.
Side Note: Two Make-A-Wish kids showed up during the episode filming as well.
Side Note II: Ronald Reagan showed up to visit the set one year earlier. Gene, when he was still alive, made sure he showed up in photos. Gene was already moving out of the show's production and was getting sick. Reagan was a bit out of mind at this point, too.
