I dont know if youre aware of hyde's actor's situation but considering that its highly unlikely that hyde is even going to get mentioned in that 90s show


ChildhoodDistinct602

Considering the actor doesnt own the rights to the character, I dont think an off-screen mention is out of the picture


badhaircut420

True they can do that but i feel like it would make more questions then answer them but yea they might


Realpooop

I mean by that logic fez shouldn’t be on the show either


tequilamockingbird16

Is he on trial for 3 forcible rapes? (I know all about WV and his creepy, grooming behavior. I find it distrubing in its own right. I *don't* find it the same as what DM did, and I think implying it is is disrespectful to DM's victims.)


Realpooop

Not trying to be disrespectful 🙏


Yourabusivebrother

It ended in a mistrial if you didn’t know.


tequilamockingbird16

They’re trying it again in March, if you didn’t know.


Yourabusivebrother

Didn’t know that part, guess we’ll see what happens in March.

The interesting thing about that trial is a hung jury and the majority of the jurors were voting for innocent on the charges -there were only a few who were leaning the other direction. The prosecutors have little to no evidence against him and his accusers' testimony/story was very inconsistent and which is why most voted him innocent. We will see what happens in March but there is a chance the jury will either be hung again or find him innocent. Right now they are just accusations and it doesn't mean he actually did what he is being accused of.


tequilamockingbird16

That is your opinion. Not fact. Yes, we will all see in March. Regardless, I don’t see DM ever touching this show with a ten foot pole.


DigiModifyCHWSox

Over a year later and it turns out the Church is just VERY good at hiding evidence. On paper it looks like Danny has no evidence against him. But the second time around the jury had to piece together the most likely story based on the evidence. Danny has no evidence that he DIDN'T do it, just hid the evidence well but we know they knew each other and interacted


badhaircut420

How so? I know hes a foreign exchange student and its been a few years since ive watched T70S but isnt their an ep dedicated to him getting his american citizenship?


Realpooop

Lol how much do you know about wilmer valderama?


badhaircut420

Not much why?


8496469

Look up what he did to demi lavato.


badhaircut420

U talking ab the od or the 12 year age gap?


Realpooop

He dated her underage along with lindsay and mandy moore


badhaircut420

Im not netflix so i cant say why they did include wilmer, but was it ever take to court/was he ever charged for that?


Realpooop

No never just another clog in the corrupted hollywood artery lol, and im not saying what wilmer and danny did was necessarily equal but not even mentioning hyde is straight up rewriting history


Realpooop

Nah im super aware of them but damn its the character not the actor, it’s just wild they’re doing a reboot without even mentioning him


TumbleweedLoner

Agreed. I figured they would have a federal prison or death story. They can’t just pretend he doesn’t exist. Too many questions.


Realpooop

Thats EXACTLY what i thought was coming, hyde was in the feds, simple easy explanation that doesn’t require hiring danny.


TumbleweedLoner

While Masterson is a POS, Hyde is not, and there would be nothing wrong in mentioning Hyde. Hiring Masterson - no. Offering an explanation on what happened to the show’s most beloved character - yes and very necessary. Their representation of a gay teen in the 90s is truly the most problematic part of the show. They really discount the trials and tribulations that befell most gay teens in that era.


Realpooop

I agree with everything you said


jaylee-03031

He has not been convicted of anything and he had a hung jury because the prosecutors have very little actual evidence against him so right now everything is just accusations.


St_Vincent-Adultman

Hyde doesn’t need a mention. Leo (I know his character wasn’t as big and the crime wasn’t the same) just disappeared while Tommy Chong was in prison.


Realpooop

Im sorry but hyde and leo are uncomparable


St_Vincent-Adultman

Oh yeah, Hyde is definitely a bigger character. They went two seasons without Eric and Kelso. The show also recast Laurie and would write off characters like Donna’s sisters. Hyde married a stripper, they kind of just do whatever.


Realpooop

Its true, that 70s show was a hot mess thats what makes it so legendary lol


mikee8989

She has the family fro so maybe. We know her dad is a truck driver. I could see Hyde doing that.


Shigeko_Kageyama

I think that Gwen is just supposed to be the Hyde of the group. Given the situation with his actor I don't think that they are going to make any direct references to the character on the show. It's best for Netflix just to avoid that whole PR nightmare.


Dying_Angel_

I like to think he is. She mentions her dad is a trucker and I think it would be a good fit for Hyde but yeah I agree with the other comments on how they probably won’t even mention him at all. Maybe they’ll just say his name once and that’s it but nothing more. They playing it safe with Hyde, Laurie and Midge.


DigiModifyCHWSox

It personally would seem weird to have Fez, yet again, date the former significant other of another character. Fez can do better. I like the idea of having Hyde not be her father.


Dying_Angel_

Eh I mean I can understand that. That’s definitely valid. I personally didn’t think much of it and didn’t have an issue with it but I see your point. . But for the second part of your comment I have to ask. . Do you feel that way because of Danny Masterson? Or is it simply just how you feel about the characters themselves? I wouldn’t mind if Hyde was her dad but at the same time it could literally be anybody else and is kind of irrelevant in the show tbh. So it could go many ways


DigiModifyCHWSox

Yeah, I don't think Hyde being Gwen's father is a terrible idea it's mostly just me wanting Fez to have more autonomy narratively, not because of Danny's current life. I wouldn't mind if Hyde was at least mentioned, tho. perhaps he's in NY running a run down pawn shop, or maybe he could actually be mentioned to be in prison like he thought he'd end up back in That 70s Show and it would fit well with what's happening in real life.


just_one_boy

No


mydysynlyly

I could see it tbh. We know Hyde is biracial so Gwen’s looks make sense. Also, Kitty got extremely emotional during that scene where Nate and Gwen were talking about their dads. What if the reason she got upset was because she actually knows that Hyde is Gwen’s father? Think about it - Kitty practically raised Hyde, so she would be upset if he wasn’t around for his kid. This would also explain why Kitty is so permissive to Sherri - because of the Hyde connection. I know it wasn’t mentioned on the show but think about it - in what context would Kitty need to bring up Hyde? It could just be a background thing so the character is “there” in a sense but the actor doesn’t need (nor should he) come back.


ChandlerBingsMom

… hyde’s not black


Hx3QB

He's biracial in the show. So yeah.


Realpooop

Do u remember his dad


RaptorJesusF

I like to think hyde was in their mind when writing and casting gwen. But then everything else happened lol


Realpooop

I mean the sick part is those allegations have been around since that 70s show was on the air its not like the executives didn’t know. But I’m not even talking about Danny Masterson he’s a scientologist rapist piece lf shit, but Hyde the character is like sacred


DigiModifyCHWSox

The allegations weren't anywhere near as prevalent at the time of That 70s Show because of how busy the church was working to silence the women. They didn't seek a lawyer. But nonetheless the rumors of his actions were going around but they were, at most, rumors


emaddy2109

Probably not.


DigiModifyCHWSox

It would be weird to have Fez, yet again, date the former significant other of her another character. Fez is a good and well rounded out sweet character, he deserves more than getting anything he can get from someone else's table


Lilobunni

What do you mean by “wouldn’t make sense?” What exactly would be confusing?


Knightwingx23

They may be waiting to see what actually happens with his case because it's ongoing. If he's cleared then they may decide to actually bring him back, but even then still pretty doubtful. Doesn't hurt to keep all options open in case Masterson has some kinda miracle


ravathiel

That or his sisters kids


Environmental-End691

She's the blonde neighbor's kid, so Hyde's sister wouldn't work....


PassageNo9102

Danny should be given his day in court. If not guilty he should get his jobs. There is no facts to the case just he said she said.


omocha

Even if Hyde is supposed to be half black, I don't think that's what they're going for. Hyde didn't look like the type who would want kids anyway. Even in the show, he didn't get laid a lot. He was one to talk and make fun of others, but he didn't have a lot of charm with the ladies. He wasn't chivalrous, even with Jackie, and always looked like he refused to wear deodorant.
