* UnderminedByReality: The series was infamous for its {{Anvilicious}} moralizing. So it was quite a shock when in 2014, [[https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2014/10/07/beverley-mitchell-fans-react-stephen-collins-molestation/16852575/ Stephen Collins was revealed to have molested three underage girls in the past]].

* HollywoodHypeMachine: Stephen Collins, who played Eric, had made a name for himself beginning with his critically-praised role in ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture'' and the cult series ''Series/TalesOfTheGoldMonkey'', but he wouldn't hit the big time until seventeen years later when he was cast in ''7th Heaven''. The show became the highest-rated program on Creator/TheWB for more or less the network's entire existence and caused studios left and right to offer Collins roles in various films and shows. However, none of these roles offered Collins the star power he had with ''7th Heaven'', and thus the spotlight began turning away from him, especially following the serie' cancellation. Since then, Collins tried to find suitable roles and avoid being [[{{Typecasting}} cast as Eric Camden again]], to little success. He made several appearances in the ABC series ''Series/PrivatePractice'' and ''Series/{{Scandal}}'', but all that became overshadowed by his highly-publicized divorce with Faye Grant and the nasty proceedings that followed. And then came TMZ leaking an audio tape of Collins admitting to Grant during a private therapy session that he had molested several children decades prior. RoleEndingMisdemeanor doesn't even begin to describe the immediate fallout from the scandal, such as his character in ''Scandal'' getting McLeaned, Collins resigning from his position at the Screen Actors Guild board, getting fired from production of the sequel to Creator/SethMacFarlane's ''Film/{{Ted}}'', and multiple stations and networks yanking reruns of ''7th Heaven'' from their schedules. With all these events, it's safe to say Collins may never be able to repair his career.

** David Gallagher would go on to voice Riku in the KingdomHearts series.
