The circumstances surrounding Danny Masterson’s absence are very dark. This is motivating “That ’90s Show”Permit the actor to be excluded from involvement (per Nerdist). The character’s popularity and his involvement in the Forman home make it odd that he is not mentioned. Reddit fans have some ideas for how to solve Hyde’s mystery character.
“My theory for Hyde’s absence in ‘That ’90s Show’ is that he is in California working on a record store that his father Barrett owned,”Posted u/RayKVega. “I felt theories about him being deceased or in prison are way too dark and too much for that.”Hyde always thought prison was possible because of his broken home, and his friendship with hippies such as Leo (Tommy Chong). Fans think this would be too extreme in the world of sitcoms. This would serve as a reminder of the troubling facts surrounding Hyde’s disappearance and take away Hyde’s past character progression.
“I hope it’s something like that because putting him in prison would undo his entire development throughout the show,”Noted u/kurosaki715. Hyde spends a lot of the series dealing with his family history. He bounces between father figures, only to discover that the Formans are his true family. To do so would be disrespectful to the character’s legacy.
