In a heartwarming surprise, Tim Allen's former on-screen daughter, Kaitlyn Dever, made a special appearance on the set of his new show, 'Shifting Gears', four years after their hit sitcom 'Last Man Standing' concluded. But here's the twist: this reunion won't be aired on the new series!
The iconic duo, who played Mike Baxter and Eve Baxter in 'Last Man Standing', shared an emotional moment that was captured by the 'Shifting Gears' Instagram account. As Allen entered the kitchen, he was greeted by Dever instead of his current TV daughter, Kat Dennings, leaving him visibly stunned. The audience's enthusiastic reaction added to the excitement, as they witnessed the beloved co-stars embrace.
Kaitlyn Dever, now renowned for her Emmy-nominated roles in 'Dopesick' and 'The Last of Us', has come a long way since her 'Last Man Standing' days. However, her appearance on set sparked a reminder of the show's bittersweet ending. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, Dever's final scenes as Eve were shot separately from the cast, using FaceTime, as she was committed to the film 'Dear Evan Hansen'.
But here's where it gets controversial: Why did the crew allow Dever to shoot in front of them without a mask, while the cast had to follow stricter protocols? Executive producer Kevin Abbott explained the crew was shielded, but the cast couldn't be, due to time constraints. This raises questions about the fairness of COVID-19 safety measures on set.
So, will we see more of Kaitlyn Dever on 'Shifting Gears'? Only time will tell. And this is the part most people miss: what are your thoughts on the reunion and the behind-the-scenes COVID-19 protocols? Share your opinions below!
