Also Doyle has had a mad beef with O'Hare but seems to get on OK with
most other former regulars. When he ran for Congress one time, a
couple of them helped his campaign as I recall.
For his part O'Hare hasn't said much, so it could go either way. I
also hope O'Hare is making out OK.
One bad side of the fan thing is hearing the rumors/beefs/etc. out
there.
I'd also note that the other cast members seem to have steered clear
of the whole thing.
