I don't know, I've had entire game campaigns die because one player stopped showing up, so it does happen. Mainly because the character in question was part of the story, and the story couldn't really continue without them...which sounds like what this show is doing now. Because you know that those diehard Daphne fans would scream foul if she didn't return to the group and the story dared progress without her.
Heck, it's why, whenever Slayers spawns a new anime season, it HAS to have the main four characters, because fans won't like anything new and different.
Anyway, sounds like you'd have to throw away everything you knew about the characters from past cartoon series and take this one as brand new, and perhaps a sign of how cartoons are being made these days. Or something. Personally, I never liked Scooby Doo cartoons beyond the campy 70s, so yeah...
