Other than that, we wanted to keep it fun, not only for the audience’s sake, but frankly for the actors’ sake.

That was the one scene that I wanted to allow the cast members to express their feelings for the series through the metaphor. And then we just saved the emotion until we got to the memorial scene.
So that’s why, when Matt came up with the idea of using the truck as a metaphor for the show - something that you loved being taken from you that you worked on for a long time - we were able to kind of do an episode that would have been just a normal episode and wrap it around that. We wanted to honor it and have it, but not to dwell on it. And then we felt like we would save the goodbye to the series for the second half of the show, and we wanted to confine that as much as possible. We did three storylines where we were kind of pointing the direction of where these characters are going to go on with their lives once the series itself ends, and address that that way. In the first half hour of the show, we told the individual stories. Essentially, what we decided to do was to split it into two halves. That is the big question that we asked ourselves, how do we do this so that it’s not just a maudlin, cryfest of an ending, because I think that would be untrue to what the series was. Our first and foremost job is to bring joy to people. We want to put people through things and get them to some really emotional truth, but always with fun. Matt and I always approached it with the sense that we want to base it on true emotion.

Kevin Abbott didn’t want to continue making their relationship about the struggles for the sake of Boyd's storylines, and the creative team preferred showing them getting along as time went by.Here’s Your First Look at All the New Scripted Broadcast TV Shows in 2021-22 – So Far (Photos) Many of the storylines involving Boyd left his parents Ryan and Kristin on opposing sides of an argument, which drew up drama in the show's early days, when Ryan ended up temporarily leaving Kristin when Boyd. We didn’t have any ideas, and you can’t just say, ‘Hey, actor! You, who have been a regular, will you just pop in whenever I need you?’ That’s pretty insulting, and Jet was great.
They were parenting stories Ryan and Kristin trying to involve Mike, and we’d done a lot of them. There are only so many lines in a show, and if Boyd was saying them, then somebody else wasn’t, and we just didn’t have a ton of Boyd storylines. Every week, we struggle to give all the characters something to do, and another regular just eats up real estate. We have such a great cast, and it’s a big cast. Kevin Abbott reveals the reasoning for Boyd’s sudden disappearance to TVLine, saying it basically comes down to the fact that there are only so many storylines to go around: Jet Jurgensmeyer took on playing Boyd for Seasons 7 and 8, and he was last seen at his parents’ gender reveal party in Season 8. In Season 1, it was twins Evan and Luke Kruntchev, while Flynn Morrison took over the role for Seasons 2-6, where he vacated the show after its ABC cancellation and before Fox picked it back up. Throughout Last Man Standing’s first eight seasons, Mike and Vanessa’s first grandchild Boyd was portrayed by multiple actors.
