serena
the fifth season of "bewitched" (1968-1969) proved to be a watershed for the series most notably with the death of marion lorne and the frequent absences of dick york in many episodes. york was suffering from recurring back problems, the result of an accident during the filming of "they came to cordura" (1959). as a result, many episodes featured samantha and tabitha on their own with york's character of darrin out of town on business. it was during this time that serena (samantha's identical cousin, also played by montgomery) was used more frequently. filming of scenes involving both samantha and serena was accomplished by using melody mccord, montgomery's stand-in. towards the end of the season, york's increased disability which caused ongoing shooting delays and script rewrites resulted in his collapsing on the set in january 1969 while filming the episode "daddy does his thing". he was inmmediately rushed to the hospital and after a long talk with producer-director william asher, york decided to leave the series. at about the same time, montgomery and asher announced that they were expecting another baby and it was decided that samantha and darrin would also have another child in the fall of that year. on screen, samantha tells darrin over the phone the news of her second pregnancy. that same month, dick sargent was cast to play darrin beginning in the sixth season.
bewitched
in the "passions" universe, the television show "bewitched" (1964–1972) is alternately presented as both fantasy and in-universe fact. "bewitched" featured a witch named samantha married to a mortal named darrin, with their daughter named tabitha, samantha's witch mother named endora, and samantha's ditzy witch friend named esmerelda. at times "passions" tabitha is seen watching the program as if it is fictional; at other times she refers to the "bewitched" characters as if they are all real to her. tabitha is acquainted with "bewitched" character dr. bombay, who has made two appearances on the show and in both cases implies that "bewitched" storylines exist in the same reality as "passions". tabitha claims that her mother had been named "samantha" and been married to a mortal named "darrin," and names her daughter "endora."
