Why Bewitched Hid the Dark Reality of the Darrin Switch

Bewitched became one of the biggest TV shows of the 1960s, starring Elizabeth Montgomery as Samantha Stephens and Dick York as her mortal husband, Darrin Stephens. But after five seasons, York suddenly disappeared and Dick Sargent took his place. The show offered viewers almost no explanation for one of the most famous TV recasts of all time. Behind the scenes, Dick York had been hiding years of severe pain caused by an accident long before Bewitched. This is the true story of the injury that changed his life, why Elizabeth Montgomery fought to keep him on the show, what finally forced York to leave, how Dick Sargent became the second Darrin, and what happened between the Bewitched cast after the controversial switch.
