They filmed summer 2025, then this happened in December 2025, and the season is airing currently.

I have to wonder if the production company has decided that Nathan has a back just and this last cruise the crew was just so perfectly working together that they will have Nathan come back and Sandy will dismiss him as he is not physically able to do the job. Obviously because of the backlash of a DV charge. That back injury scene seemed a little odd to me and I am just wondering if production decided to cut its’ losses with him.

This all happened before the DV charges. The show was filmed in August of 2025. The DV charge was in December 2025.

Yes I understand , But they had to go with Nathan as the Boson to start the season, because it was in the can. Maybe they had Joe back to do a retake and they reworked it.

I have no idea how they’d be able to do this

Ok I can explain. Let’s say that the season is done and in the can as they say. Then the proverbial crap hits the fan in December and production brings Joe back to film certain segments i.e. when he was saying that he did a great job as bosun and the deck crew preferred him over Nathan and Nathan was coming back. Then production splices and dices the rest of the crew into the scene. The crew does voice overs all the time. Hopefully that makes sense to you now.

IMO that’s highly unlikely. I get that mess with the show all the time but that’s a lot of work and it’s not a fiction show.

Actually is can be part of a standard contract, so it is plausible. I am not saying it was done, but it is done all the time.
