 During an Internet interview, writer Amit Bhaumik (qv) admitted  that he wanted Amy Jo Johnson (qv) (Kimberly Ann Hart/the original  Pink Ranger), Walter Jones (I) (qv) (Zack Taylor/the original  Black Ranger), Patricia Ja Lee (qv) (Cassie Chan/the Pink Space  Ranger) and Melody Perkins (qv) (Karone/the second Pink Lost  Galaxy Ranger) to reprise their roles for the "Forever Red" story.  However, none of the characters managed to end up in the final  script because of budgetary and story length reasons.
