Dead- Luther Gills, Agatha, McReynolds, Tanaka, Icepick, ...

#1 Post by Buck »

I was wondering what guest stars from the original series are left to be in a Magnum PI reunion movie?

I am surpised and sad to see many major reoccuring guest stars have passed away.

Gillian Dobb - Agatha 1929-2001
Jeff MacKay - Lt McReynolds 1948-2008
Kwan Hi Lim - Tanaka 1931-2008
Eugene Roche - Luther Gills 1928-2004
Elisha Cook Jr - Icepick 1903-1995
Paul Burke - Rear Admiral Hawkes aka Old Ironpants 1926-2009

Come on TS, how much longer do fans need to wait for a Reunion movie? TS should have made a half dozen Magnum movies in the late 1980's and early 1990's when the above guest stars could have had minor parts. Perhaps Agatha finally marrys Higgins. Perhaps the ghost of McReynolds returns. Perhaps one movie could have been retired Admiral Hawkes asking Magnum to find a mole. The possibilities are endless.

What remaining guest stars would you want to see in a Magnum reunion?

It could truly ruin a reunion movie if not written correctly, but, the series did have a way of returning characters from the dead so I would love to see Marta DuBois in a reunion.............

It's just been too long! Everyone is too old now! Wait! It could take place in Florida! Everybody is retired, and lives there now. In one episode, someone has fallen, and can't get up! Another episode, someone is stealing all the dentures out of the glasses, on peoples nightstands! Magnum and his pals jump in their scooters, and chase them down, so everyone can eat solid food again!'Don't Eat the Tapioca in Florida'!

Yeah i am with you there. Lets face it the few episodes she were in were top notch , and i was actually gutted when her character died. Maybe she survived again :wink: , and that would be a superb plot. But i tell you this, if they would do something in the future i just hope that no one of these roles will be played by new actors. I hate that.

She's still as beautiful as ever.

Well done to Elisha Cook Jr for living to the age of 92.

That's too bad! A reunion or a movie with new people just wouldn't be the same! I'm happy to have all the episodes and watch them!
