In the TV Line report, Montana had issues with his pay and schedule for the show. Sources say he had a “strained” relationship with Hendricks and the two did not enjoy each other. He was not willing to take the pay cut given his lack of connection to Hendricks.

In 2019, when asked about her love scenes with Montana, Hendricks provided an odd response. She said, “He’s a great actor and we have great chemistry working together and… He’s just… It’s just a very sort of respectful work. You know, it’s funny, because I know people love Beth and Rio. We, of course… love that. It’s exciting and stuff. But it’s not as… it’s much more professional than anyone would think.”

Last year, during another interview, Hendricks revealed Montana called her “Chris” on set despite nobody ever using that nickname. She said, “Manny calls [me]… Chris. No one in my life calls me Chris. It’s not my name. I think it’s totally stupid. And he’s never taken the chance to realize that I hate it. It’s really weird.”

The two will no longer have to deal with each other as the show is officially over.
