Louise declined to participate in any of three "Gilligan's Island" reunion television films. Despite maintaining a steady acting career after the series ended, she stated repeatedly that the show had actually ruined her career. The role of Ginger was recast with Judith Baldwin and Constance Forslund. Although she did not appear in the television movies, she made brief walk-on appearances on a few talk shows and specials for "Gilligan's Island" reunions, including "Good Morning America" (1982), "The Late Show" (1988) and the 2004 TV Land award show with the other surviving cast members. In the 1990s, she was reunited with costars Bob Denver, Dawn Wells, and Russell Johnson in an episode of "Roseanne". She did not reunite with them for the television film "Surviving Gilligan's Island" (2001), co-produced by Wells. She was portrayed by Kristen Dalton in the television film. Her relations with series star Denver were rumored to be strained, but in 2005, she wrote a brief, affectionate memorial to him in the year-end "farewell" issue of "Entertainment Weekly".
