"Gilligan's Planet" featured all of the original actors but one; Tina Louise, who has consistently refused to participate in any "Gilligan's Island"-related material since the series ended, again declined to reprise her role as Ginger Grant, who again was portrayed as a platinum blonde (as was the case in "The New Adventures") instead of Louise's red hair. Dawn Wells, who had been unavailable during the production of "The New Adventures of Gilligan", returned to the franchise, voicing both her own character (Mary Ann Summers) and Ginger.
