Lame Excuse is no longer a trope, but perhaps another one applies?
Lame Excuse: In "Beaver Creek - The Movie" from Series 3, Richard returns from the set of Beaver Creek having failed to speak to Mandy Forward about signing on for two more Beaver Creek movies but having a meeting with Network Brian on set in an hour. Alan proceeds to pitch what he believes is his best idea yet: a series about - in fact, starring - water. Richard immediately changes his mind and says the meeting with Brian is not in an hour, but right now, and hurries out. Alan tries to get Veronica and Victor to help him put ideas for the series on paper, but Veronica simply declares that she does budgets, not ideas, while Victor claims that with the network on set and Mandy yet to sign on for two more movies, he and Richard should both be on set at all times.
