Empty Nest: 'Empty Nest' star Kristy McNichol resurfaces in Hallmark Channel marathon

'Empty Nest' star Kristy McNichol resurfaces in Hallmark Channel marathon

It's easy to forget about "Vacant Nest." The "Golden Girls" spin-off hasn't specifically thrived in syndication like so many of its generation.

But The Quality Channel resuscitates the actual '80s/'90s humor -- about a doctor whose two grown daughters move house -- with a Feb. 26 marathon.

Glaring Richard Mulligan (R.I.P.), Dinah Manoff as well as Kristy McNichol, the actual show is maybe best known regarding McNichol's sudden leaving during the 1992.

So what took place to her? During the time, McNichol was becoming notorious for poor attendance and unpredictable behavior on the particular set of the particular show and several movies and the lady was diagnosed together with bipolar disorder and retired from performing altogether.
