Fans on Instagram were thrilled to see the Wonder Years cast back together but couldn’t help but notice that two key stars were missing from the snap.

Fred Savage , who played Kevin Arnold, Olivia d’Arno, who played his rebellious sister Karen Arnold, were not featured.

Daniel Stern, who narrated the adult Kevin, was also not involved in the snap.

In the comments, several Wonder Years viewers pointed to the missing actors, noting that it wasn’t quite the same.

“So incomplete without Fred,” one fan wrote.

“Where’s Olivia d’Abo?” another wondered.

“Fred Savage missing….,” a third commenter noted.

Fred has, for the most part, avoided the spotlight since a 2022 exposé revealed allegations of misconduct against him on the set.

Danica, who posted the pic, did not reference her missing co-stars.

“I mean, c’mon! So great to be with my Wonder Years family this weekend! Sure, we’ve all seen each other through the years (I just saw Dan & Josh last month, in fact!), but we realized this particular grouping hadn’t been together in well over 20 years…! [shocked emoji],” she captioned the post.

The cast attended the Fan Boy Expo in Knoxville, Tennessee, together.

Jason, 52, commented, “So much fun catching up with my TWY fam! I’m sure we will all be posting some fun stuff from the weekend!”

LOVING IT

Fans in the comments were thrilled to see the cast together, even without a few stars.

“Wonder Years is one of the greatest shows of all time! I love that you still get together with the cast,” one person posted.

FRED’S DOWNFALL

Fred was directing the Wonder Years reboot in 2022 when he was abruptly let go following allegations of misconduct, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

When the allegations surfaced, the actor was preparing to direct his ninth episode of the ABC show.

A group of six women on the crew united to speak out against him.

They sent a complaint to Disney and spoke with an HR executive regarding concerns they had about the star’s conduct toward various women on production.

“To their credit, I was contacted within hours,” one member of the group told the Hollywood Reporter.

A spokesperson for Disney’s 20th Television cited “allegations of inappropriate conduct” as the reason for Fred’s firing, but did not elaborate.

Days later, another report surfaced claiming that sources close to the star told Page Six that Fred had been “doing a lot of self-reflecting.”

According to the outlet, an insider said Fred “knows he can be an a**hole at times.”

After that report was released, several women who reported Fred spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about what specific issues led them to come forward.

“I and the other women feel that people need to know what the wrongdoing was,” one said.

She noted that Fred had faced allegations before, citing a 1993 complaint from a costumer on The Wonder Years.

She sued Fred, only 16 at the time, for sexual harassment but the case was later settled.

A female crewmember on The Grinder, which aired on Fox, also sued Fred, claiming that he “constantly hurled profanities” at female employees and shouted and hit her during a costume fitting.

That case was also settled.

Fred denied wrongdoing in both cases and went on to enjoy a long career, appearing on Boy Meets World, Black-ish, The Conners, Modern Family, and 2 Broke Girls, as well as other series’.

Women working on The Wonder Years reboot claimed that Fred would flip on a dime.

“His eyes would go dead,” one told THR.

Another said Fred did not behave in this manner in front of actors or executives on the show.

“They all see his absolute perfect, best face,” she said at the time, adding that he showed his darker side to “below-the-line employees who don’t have power.”

The female staffers’ complaints ranged from verbal harassment to one alleged assault of a former crewmember.

Fred responded to the allegations in a statement to THR.

“Since I was 6 years old, I have worked on hundreds of sets with thousands of people, and have always strived to contribute to an inclusive, safe, and supportive work environment,” he began.

“It is devastating to learn that there are co-workers who feel I have fallen short of these goals. While there are some incidents being reported that absolutely did not and could not have happened, any one person who feels hurt or offended by my actions is one person too many.”

“I will work to address and change any behavior that has negatively affected anyone, as nothing in this world is more important to me than being a supportive co-worker, friend, husband, father, and person,” Fred continued.
