Most, if not all of us are aware of what went down behind the scenes regarding the departures of Austin St. John, Thuy Trang, and Walter Jones. But as far as their characters are concerned, what do you suppose would have happened had they remained throughout Mighty Morphin'? Although Tommy would return to become the White Ranger, how does this affect his leadership role (if he even does get promoted regardless of the circumstance)? How long do you think the original six would've lasted heading into season 3 with the ninja powers, and eventually Zeo?

My guess Tommy would likely still become new leader. And the 3 likely would have stay thru rest of mm. Then like Kim probably leave at end of mm and we got new cast going into zeo.

It was actually confirmed that Tommy becoming leader was a last minute change due to Austin, Walter, and Thuy having left as in the original version of the White Light Part 2 script, Tommy was never promoted to leader as shown two episodes later in Opposites Attract when Jason lead the Morph call and not Tommy.

Like Iceranger said we know for a fact that Tommy being promoted as leader was a last minute change after the actors leave. That’s why Jason’s reaction makes no sense and why he still initiates the morphing call when all six are together.
Anyways I imagine the main thing is some of the scripts would be different? Jason wants to have fun would make way more sense because Jason is stoic and serious and Rocky had no defined personality until Zeo. Goldar’s vice versa wouldn’t work because Zack knows what Scorpina looks like. Forever Friends wouldn’t work because Kimberly and Trini have known each other forever. Rangers back in time would make way more sense (excluding Tommy) Passing the lantern would probably be a Trini episode.

the three would probably be in the original MMPR Movie and would probably stay troughout MMPR. Then the transition to Zeo would be a bit different - Trini would give her Zeo Crystal to Aisha/Tanya, Amy Jo would still decide to leave and we would still get Kat as Pink MM/Zeo/Turbo. Jason would probably be replaced with Rocky and Zack with Adam. Zeo would start with Kat as Zeo Ranger I, Aisha/Tanya as Zeo Ranger II, Rocky as Zeo Ranger III, Adam as Zeo Ranger IV, Tommy as Zeo Ranger V and someone esle would probably have to jump in for the Gold Ranger stuff. Then I imagine that the core Zeo Team switches to Turbo Powers (with proper transition in T:APRM), with the future PRiS team making their debut (T.J. would replace Tommy, Carlos would replace Adam, Justin would replace Rocky, Ashely would replace either Aisha or Tanya and Cassie would be Kat's replacement, but mzcg later during the Turbo season). In Space would remain as is - Justin would remain with his dad and Andros would still be the Red Ranger.

My honest opinion. They wouldve all been gone by Zeo. I do think the only reason they kept tommy was because of them leaving. (Lower ratings after that) Kind of threw a wrench in their whole plans. Zeo wouldve been a good chance to introduce new rangers. Although i do love and appreciate Adam and Aisha (Wasnt a fan of Rocky) Tommy wouldnt have had to wear 5 helmets if they wouldve stayed. They wouldve all left after Zeo or Mid season Turbo.

Has the 3 hasn't left at the middle of season 2, they might have left after the movie because Saban won't renew their contract, and we'll get 3 new rangers in season 3. That's what I think.  |

That'd makecsense, since Rocky, Adam and Aisha were introduced as ninja students from Stone Canyon. So from the perspective of S3's concept (Rangers switching to Ninja Coins and powers), it would have made sense for the new 3 to replace Jason, Trini and Zack at the start of MMPR S3. Of course there would have to be a story arc to do some write-outs and some write-ins.

Lot of assumptions being made that make zero sense.
