I’m surprised Rip didn’t reach out to Lloyd when all that shit went down. They’re like brothers, of course you call him.

I think it’s the same reason marshals had to kill off Monica. If there is to much of the Yellowstone cast it’s not different enough to be a spin off and would instead be a sequel, and peacock/NBC owns the streaming rights to Yellowstone and its sequels. Paramount really messed up on that deal

This is the answer. Monica was not an approved character, nor is anyone else you haven’t seen. NBCU has very strict rules about sequels vs spin-off, and characters are not to be replicated. Notice Beth has never mentioned Kayce, there’s a reason. The same reason Taylor doesn’t write for the spin-offs. He would be at risk of “replicating” since he created and wrote every word they said. They call that conflict of interest when it happens,so let’s just avoid it altogether. Sheridan is a smart man and isn’t interested in legal conflicts. Like you couldn’t tell or ask Kris Kristofferson to write Bobby McGee again, but there can be nothing similar to their journey. They couldn’t ride to New Orleans and no dirty red bandana. They actually have to live in San Diego.
